Just wanted to wish all my readers a Happy Memorial Day! Enjoy your cookouts or beach trips or the day at the pool. See you tomorrow! Nancy&Bill

Black and White Striped Accents

This wedding with black and white accents (actually a Halloween wedding) is a perfect example of using black and white for your wedding colors and making it work! Whether it's the striped sash or the table accents or the grooms tie the addition of black to the white is just enough, without being too much.

The groom's bow tie is featured on Erin's Heart Court blog along with other photos.

Look for the fabric for the runner from IKEA! Style doesn't have to be expensive!

And this little pumpkin of a flower girl's dress is by Lily Anna for Girls.
