DIY Black and White Wedding

Go black and white in a big way at your wedding! This tented area acts as a backdrop for this bride and groom's wedding ceremony.  The bride's mother made a black and white aisle runner with a red sequin heart and the bride and groom's initials.

For centerpieces the mother of the bride collected milk glass vases and they filled them with candles! Such a pretty result!

The shorter vases held single flower buds.  The taller held white tapers.  And later as it gets darker inside the tent....

A black and white wedding offers a variety of options for decorating.  Visit Events To A T to see more ideas.

Picture Perfect Cameo Tablescape

I've always been in love with cameos so when I saw this tablescape on Martha Stewart's site I had to share it with you.  Martha and her staff are their usual creative selves and give you a total look for less by adding DIY elements.  Martha Stewart Weddings how to design in pink, black and white features a cameo.  For additional directions check out her site (linked above).  Note how she adds some black stitching to the edge of the linen napkin for accent and edges her place cards with black.  The favor box sits in the center of white china with a black and white trim, it has a beautiful cameo look added to the top of the favor box.  The link for where Martha got the cameo pieces to make the favor boxes in on her site as well.  Overall a designer look with a do it yourself price tag.
