Come and meet the team and see our gorgeous wedding stationery close up!
In recent years, more and more couples are choosing black and white wedding invitations to set the tone for their wedding day, and for good reason. The contrast of black and white when used on wedding stationery produces a stylish and sophisticated impression that sets the tone perfectly for a day filled with contemporary luxury and designer elegance. A black and white wedding theme is increasingly popular among younger couples who are hosting a designer chic day for their guests, however black and white can also be used to stunning effect when planning a winter wedding, setting the backdrop for a gorgeous winter wonderland themed wedding.

Alternatively, if you have a specific colour in mind that you want as your main theme, using this colour in conjunction with a black and white backdrop can be really striking and the perfect way to ensure your colour choice is not overwhelming for your guests. Black can often be associated with mourning, especially amongst older generations. Choosing a bright, rich colour to contrast with your black and white setting can totally change the feel of your wedding theme whilst still remaining elegant and striking.
