3 Tips for a Black Colour Scheme Wedding

  • Choose one other colour to have alongside black in terms of your wedding theme. This colour should be a good contrast colour, one that will lift the black and set it off.

  • Add design and texture to keep the black from being too heavy. Think lace, tissue decorations etc.
