THE POWER OF MONOCHROME FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY
When it comes to wedding colours, the options are endless. You can go the traditional route with white and ivory, add a pop of colour with pastel shades, or opt for something bold and vibrant. But if you’re looking for something timeless and elegant, then monochrome has your name written all over it. Read on to find out why this classic colour scheme should be top of your list.
Why Monochrome?
Monochrome is an incredibly versatile colour scheme that will suit any style of wedding – from classic elegance to modern minimalism. It’s a timeless look that won’t date as trends come and go, so you can rest assured that you won’t regret your decision in years to come. And when it comes to styling your day, there are plenty of options available; from sleek black tuxedos for the groom and groomsmen to dramatic floor-length gowns for the bridesmaids. Not only does this colour palette look stunning in photos, but its versatility means it will never become outdated.
How To Pull It Off
The key to pulling off a monochrome theme is balance; too much black can be overpowering while too much white can make things seem bland or plain. A good way to get around this is by adding texture; think velvet materials, sequins, and lace details which will add depth and interest without compromising the moody feel of the theme. You can also introduce subtle hints of other colours like gold or silver if you want a bit more vibrancy on the day itself – these small touches will tie everything together perfectly without being overly distracting.
Another great way to add a bit of texture is with florals; choose an all white bouquet with lots of texture and variety of blooms for a classy, chic yet sophisticated look. Think big, blousy reflexed white roses, draping, showstopping orchids paired with delicate gypsophila and all the ruffles that come with lisianthus.
Ceremony feature items such as huge floral arches and flower clouds hanging from above all in white with a heavy focus on texture are also a great addition to any monochrome colour palette.
There are of course extras that can add to tie in with your colour scheme. Black candle holders on the tables, monochrome coloured table signs and seating charts as well as finer details like black cutlery which looks incredible against the crispness of a white table cloth.
For brides who are looking for something timeless yet modern, monochrome is definitely worth considering as your wedding colour palette. Its versatility means it can be easily dressed up or down depending on what kind of vibe you’re going for – so whether you opt for a minimalistic approach with sleek lines and muted tones or a more glamorous feel with velvet fabrics and statement pieces – make sure you keep balance at the forefront when planning your big day! With careful styling choices and subtle pops of colour here and there, creating the perfect monochrome look shouldn’t be too difficult – plus, we promise it'll look amazing in photos!
