Black and White Wedding

I’ve been collecting images ever since starting this blog – images that inspire me, images that indulge me and images that ARE me.

Every so often, I browse through my little online library and collect them into thematic collages.  Here’s my latest.  I’m calling it the black and white wedding.  For those of us who love damasks, this is a perfect way to bring black, white and a flash of pink into a damask black and white wedding.  Every black and white decor needs another accent color, else the classic black white pairing risks looking bland and cold.

Adding a printed fabric to the stem of a wedding bouquet is a thoughtful way to bring in a wedding theme while also creating a standout bouquet.  I’d like to see this one outlined with black ostrich feathers for an even more dramatic look.   I love how the elegant black and white cake has layers of different sizes, patterns and a simple modern ball like structure as the cake topper – very graphic.    And every event planner should experiment with adding logos, themes and patterns to their ice bar.  It immediately creates a memorable visual focus and helps tie any event decor together.  And don’t you love the unexpected flower girl dress?  Instead of coming out in all white, why not use a printed girly ruffle dress in the theme of your wedding?  I’d love to see this girl walk down the aisle carrying a pink teddy bear in a black basket with a pink flower in her hair.  I can see it now….

FabFinds: Black and White Home Decor

I haven’t done a FabFinds entry in a while so here is a roundup of some home decor fabfinds within the black and white color scheme!

All you princess wannabes out there will want to rest your pretty little heads on this royal pillow. For $39 you can have the tiara on your head that you deserve! This hand-tufted wool pillow is 14″H x 18″W and comes in a crown version for your prince of a boyfriend or husband.

Along the princess theme, here’s a throne chair (that my friend thinks darth vadar belongs in) hmm not sure about that visual but Bergdorf Goodman has similar chairs in a light blue thanks to my favorite designer, Kelly Wearstler.

I have memories of my mom being so happy when my dad finally let her have a sheep chair.  Yea, I said sheep. chair.  The ottoman was a furry replica of a baby sheep and I guess my mom really really wanted to have a soft place to rest her legs?!.  When it came home, my brother and I treated it like our new pet (while making fun of my overgrown kid of a mom).  Now I see this modern version and am falling in love!

I guess I got the same ridiculous gene ‘cuz I’m loving these sheep by Sam Brown.

Have you seen those pictures of people who have bravely transformed their wall into a chalkboard wall with some chalkboard paint?  it’s a fun way to add a little interactivity to a room.  Some use it for daily reminders, others use it for conversation pieces and a party focus.  Here’s a more glam chalkboard for $36 from one of my favorite sites, SeeJaneWork.com.

If you don’t have a fireplace but love the charming look, here’s a black shelf that Oprah (and I) love.

And that’s it for my black and white home decor FabFinds roundup.  Tell me what you think!
