I Do Venues ~ Black White and Bold

Photography by: Geoff White

Summary

The black and white wedding has been overtaking the wedding runway for several years now. The idea of a black tie affair has been taken up a notch with brides incorporating lots of texture and bold prints into the mix. This dazzling wedding at the Villagio Inn in Yountville is exquisite; the black and white elements are infused with a modern motif which redefines wine country luxury.

I love how this bride has chosen a great black and white damask fabric to take center stage for her dining tables. The bold print has very classic styling with an upscale wine country twist. This look is clean, fun, and contemporary, yet it still embodies everything that is feminine. La Tavola linen in Napa has a wide range of gorgeous black and white print table linens which may provide great inspiration or a base for your design - check out the Williamsburg Black and White damask print or the Marion Onex.  Geoff White is one of the most talented photographers in San Francisco and the Bay Area - he has done an eloquent job of helping this couple to express their style.

Ask the expert

A black and white themed wedding is one of the more simple wedding themes to execute. The color combination has been around forever. Many couples use one hue or the other to accessorize their wedding, making the availability of accessories endless. Black chiavari chairs add a dimension of sophistication to the design - this couple has used basic black cushions but you may also consider adding a bit of extra pop to the design by using a white silk.
