Classic White Color Palette

The classic white wedding theme never ever fails to wow. It’s traditional, sophisticated and beautiful, and looks great in virtually any setting – in a luxury mansion or your local church hall. All you need to decide is whether you want pure white or ivory, then shop accordingly. You’ll have no problem at all finding anything in this color for your decorations and stationery, and your venue will most likely have white tablecloths and white napkins as standard.

This theme is also ideal for customization with your favorite color, and you don’t need much of it either – just a few accents here and there will do the job beautifully.

These two colors are beautifully contrasting and very elegant, and you can easily create an amazing table setting using them – just take gold tableware and blue tablecloths and napkins.

It is a very simple option to stick to and really has a limited number of shades; so it would be hard to get off track with attire choices or décor. Another advantage of a black and white wedding theme is that it is easy to dilute with a number of other colors like gold, silver, or even red, and all that would do is enhance your overall theme.
