While white is usually considered the traditional wedding color, incorporating black into your special day can bring an elegance, especially for your fall or winter weddings.
Going over-the-top with the color feels bulky and more Gothic than elegant. The key to a sophisticated black wedding is minimalism.
You’ll need to focus on texture over pattern to keep lines clean and simple.
Here are just a few ways you create a sleek, modern wedding using touches of black throughout the Big Day.

The Venue
This one might be a more difficult to pull off, but if you can manage to find a venue that’s dark on the inside, and clean lines in the ceiling and walls—and lots of natural light. It will complement your theme nicely.
Keeping minimal and modern in mind, simple and sleek furniture will provide the elegance you’re looking for.

The Chairs
We know it’s diffcult to find perfect venue with dark on the inside.
You have options for this one. Trying to get chairs that are already black, you can choose black chair coverings as well.
The benefit of already black furniture means that you don’t have to force the color onto the chair. It brings a natural feel to the color.
If you do choose to use coverings for your chairs, we recommend adding a touch of color on the back. Ideally, a pastel or soft gold that won’t be too abrasive of a contrast.

The Dress
In the fashion world, black has always been associated with class and sophistication.
A black wedding dress can bring an elegance and grace as you walk down the aisle.
At same time, black is such a common dress color for any occasion, you’ll want to set your wedding dress apart—especially in case guests are wearing one!
Brides can aim for a dress with lace or tulle. The enhancement of texture adds drama so all eyes are on your black dress, and no one else’s.

If you’re the brides who are white wedding gowns person, then black bridesmaid dresses would be your other option.

The Cake
A monochromatic cake—especially a black one—might initially seem boring and bland.
The recent cake trend is for each layer to be a different texture.
If you choose a black wedding cake, we do recommend a contrasting setting to display the delicious treat. This will ensure that the cake to stands out, instead of getting lost in the dark.

The Rings
It’s becoming especially common for men to wear black wedding bands.
Most black wedding bands are made out of tungsten or titanium, which are way more durable than the metals that typically make up gold and silver jewelry.
Groom doesn’t have to worry about scratching or breaking his ring—a huge draw for men who aren’t used to wearing jewelry, or who want a worry-free band.

The Invitation

Black wedding invitations are cool and romantic. Make a statement with your wedding color.
