Black and White Empire Waist Wedding Gown

The perfect black and white design. I love the way the bottom looks with the black design near the hem! And the bow at the waistline sets off the empire look waist. I go back and forth over whether I love or hate black and white weddings, some days I think they are the only way to go, others...not so much. What do you think? Would you go black and white? Or are you looking for some more color?

Isacc Mizrahi's Tea Length Wedding Gowns

At Bridal Fashion Week Isacc Mizrahi showed two knock out black and white tea length gowns for 2013. He showed his longer lengths as well, but these tea length gowns look so chic and have a modern yet retro look.  Does that make any sense to you? Probably not!

The one above is my favorite, but it was a hard decision to make! I love the way they are so feminine yet sleek. No frou frou veils, just slicked back hair, clean and modern, yet with a tea length look that reminds me of playing dress up in old gowns that belonged to my mother!

Mizrahi has a real eye for bridal wear and he always designs dresses that catch your eye and are feminine and elegant.

Black Lace Votives

Looking for a simple DIY project? This one is easy. A little glue, votive holders, some battery powered votives (you can use the real thing is you want to). This is so easy! Anyone can do it!

Just choose some lace that's wider than the candle holder to give it height! You don't have to stick to black lace, just choose a color to compliment your wedding.

Bow Tie Wedding Cake

If you're planning a black and white wedding, this 'zebra cake' is perfect! Per Wedding Path "Give your reception a touch of vintage chic with Eric Lanlard's 1950s Glamour Cake from his new book published by Hamlyn. Follow the step-by-step instructions, but allow plenty of time to practise chocolate rolling."  It's elegant with more than a touch of class!

Black and Blush?

This black and blush birdcage is perfect for your wedding cards! Love the way it's decorated with blush silk flowers. While not a classic pure black and white, it is a great way to add a light color accent at a black and white wedding.

However, it's an Etsy find, which means easy come, easy go, they disappear as fast as someone makes them. So use it to inspire you to make your own if it's not still available or you can contact the original artist to see if they can make another one that's similar to their original.
