How to Incorporate Black into Your Wedding？

 While white is usually considered the traditional wedding color, incorporating black into your special day can bring an elegance, especially for your fall or winter weddings.  

Going over-the-top with the color feels bulky and more Gothic than elegant. The key to a sophisticated black wedding is minimalism.

You’ll need to focus on texture over pattern to keep lines clean and simple.

Here are just a few ways you create a sleek, modern wedding using touches of black throughout the Big Day. 

The Venue 

This one might be a more difficult to pull off, but if you can manage to find a venue that’s dark on the inside, and clean lines in the ceiling and walls—and lots of natural light. It will complement your theme nicely.  

Keeping minimal and modern in mind, simple and sleek furniture will provide the elegance you’re looking for. 

The Chairs 

We know it's diffcult to find perfect venue with dark on the inside.

You have options for this one. Trying to get chairs that are already black, you can choose black chair coverings as well. 

The benefit of already black furniture means that you don’t have to force the color onto the chair. It brings a natural feel to the color.

If you do choose to use coverings for your chairs, we recommend adding a touch of color on the back. Ideally, a pastel or soft gold that won’t be too abrasive of a contrast. 

The Dress

In the fashion world, black has always been associated with class and sophistication.

A black wedding dress can bring an elegance and grace as you walk down the aisle.

At same time, black is such a common dress color for any occasion,  you’ll want to set your wedding dress apart—especially in case guests are wearing one!

Brides can aim for a dress with lace or tulle.  The enhancement of texture adds drama so all eyes are on your black dress, and no one else’s.

The Invitation

Black wedding invitations are cool and romantic. Make a statement with your wedding color.

The Cake 

A monochromatic cake—especially a black one—might initially seem boring and bland.

The recent cake trend is for each layer to be a different texture.

If you choose a black wedding cake, we do recommend a contrasting setting to display the delicious treat. This will ensure  that the cake to stands out, instead of getting lost in the dark. 

The Rings 

It’s becoming especially common for men to wear black wedding bands. 

Most black wedding bands are made out of tungsten or titanium, which are way more durable than the metals that typically make up gold and silver jewelry.

Groom doesn’t have to worry about scratching or breaking his ring—a huge draw for men who aren’t used to wearing jewelry, or who want a worry-free band. 

What details should be included on your unique wedding ivitations?

 There is countless ways to invite guests to your celebration, wording proper on your wedding invitations is pivotal  to reflect the style of the occasion and the changing times.

What you write on your invitations will set the tone for your big day. And also, the proper wording relays important information to guests.

You can do whatever makes good etiquette sense and makes you feel good, however, there are certain customary elements you should include. 

For example, always include a line dedicated to who is hosting the celebration. 

Whether you're paying for the wedding yourselves or are having a same-sex wedding and therefore have two families that are hosting, you should feel free to select wording that works for your unique situation. 

Each part of your wedding invitation will depict your specific nuptials, so there's always wiggle room.

Whatever your wedding style is, a casual, laid-back beach wedding, or a religious one stepped in tradition, there are ways to tell guests the information they need prior to attending the celebration party. 

How to word your invitations? What details should be included on your unique wedding ivitations?

Before wording the invitations, we should decide whether or not to feature a line on your general invitation or adding a separate reception card to your suite.

You should consider this early on, because they'll impact the ultimate cost of your invites suite.

To help you make sense of it all, we've compiled your wedding invitation wording checklist so you can make sure all the needed information is conveied to all your guests.

01 Host Line

Start with the names of those issuing the invitation, which would traditionally be the bride's parents. 

Evolving family structures and financial dynamics often make this the trickiest part of the process, just follow the format that best fits your situation.

02 Request Line

Two phrases are the most traditional; one indicates the ceremony will be in a house of worship, the other that it will not. 

At a Place of Worship: "Request the honor of your presence..." is the proper way to word the request line. 

Meanwhile at an informal ceremony, write: "Would be delighted by your presence at the marriage of their children..." 

Meanwhile, at an informal reception, write, "Invite you to join them at the wedding reception of..." to request the guest's presence.

Informal wording is becoming very common. 

Just be sure that whatever phrasing you choose indicates that guests are being invited to a wedding ceremony or the reception only.

03 Bride and Groom Lines

Names of the bridal couple are setted off on separate lines, because they are the stars of the invitations.

The preposition linking them goes on its own line: traditional American formatting uses the word "to;" some Jewish formats use the word "and."

For a traditional wedding, if the bride's last name is the same as her parents' above, it is typically not repeated. No courtesy title (such as Miss or Ms.) is used. 

For a contemporary wedding, if the couple or both sets of parents are to host, treat the names equally.

Order: Black and Gold Retro Arrows Wedding Cards HPI003

04 Date and Time Format

Don't worry about using a.m. or p.m., or a phrase such as "in the evening," unless the wedding will be held at 8, 9, or 10 o'clock. 

The year is traditionally omitted as well, but it is sometimes included for the invitation's keepsake value.

For a traditional wedding, spell out numbers and capitalize proper nouns only; 

You can begin the line with the preposition "on" if you'd like. 

For a contemporary wedding, though using numerals is a more modern practice, it is not necessarily more casual.

05 Location

It's traditional not to include street addresses of houses of worship or well-known locations, but this is less common lately. 

Commas are not used at the ends of lines, and the state is always spelled out.

For example: traditional and religious weddings, write, like this 'Saint Paul's Lutheran Church, Walkersville, Maryland.'  For a contemporary affair, if you are using a street address, numerals are acceptable but no ZIP code is needed; this is not for mailing.

06 Reception Line or Card

If the ceremony and reception are in the same space, they can be on a single invitation. 

If the reception is held elsewhere, a separate reception card might be helpful. 

It is no longer considered acceptable to invite some people only to the ceremony.

Order: Red Maple Leaves Reception Cards HPC040

07 R.S.V.P. Line or Reply Card

For a R.S.V.P. line on the invitation. it goes in the lower left corner; you can also include mailing address, phone number, email address, or website. 

If you're using a separate card, a traditional fill-in-the-blank version provides the first letter of Mr. or Mrs.; or try a single line, such as "Please let us know whether you will join us," with space for writing.

Brides today generally include Reply Card, envelope, and stamp to encourage guests to respond to their invitation in a timely manner, even though traditional etiquette doesn't actually call for them. It's not rude to omit these, but it might be risky.

Order: Candlestick Stick Figure Response Cards HPR030

08 Special Details on the Wedding Invitation

Anything important you want your guest to know.

For example dress code, if you want to stress the importance of the style of dress—black tie, for instance, or casual attire—place that information in the lower right corner, or on the reception card.

If your event won't include a full meal, it's courteous to inform your guests. Use phrasing such as, "and afterward for cocktails," instead of the classic "at the reception."

The only thing that should not be included anywhere on your invitation—not even as an insert—is your registry information.

I think you can add your registry information on your save the date card, or your wedding website.

Some beach bars or restaurants make great summer wedding venues. They’re usually located in prime beachfront locations and offer a wide variety of menu items to choose from. Plus, many beach bars and restaurants offer discounts for booking large parties.

B sure to ask about any special deals or promotions that may be available. You may be able to save money by booking your venue during the off-season or taking advantage of early bird specials.

3. Have An Indoor Reception Area

To avoid the sun and heat, have your reception indoors. You can still take advantage of the outdoors by having a large indoor room with floor-to-ceiling windows. This will give you the best of both worlds and allow your guests to stay cool and comfortable.

Also Having an indoor reception area is a great way to be prepared for anything that Mother Nature might throw your way. It is great backup plan of outdoor ceremony in case of bad weather.

For example, if you’re having your ceremony outdoors and it starts to rain, you can quickly move everyone inside without having to worry about ruining your hair or makeup.

4. Pay Attention To The Weather

It’s very important to look at the weather forecast leading up to your summer wedding day. You’ll want to make sure that you and your guests are comfortable and that there aren’t any surprises on the big day. 

If it looks like it might be a hot day, make sure to have plenty of water on hand and fans or portable air conditioners available.

If there is a chance of rain, have umbrellas on hand or plan to move the ceremony indoors. paying attention to the weather will help you avoid any stressful surprises on your wedding day.

5. Invest In Durable Décor

You have to be sure your wedding decorations are durable. These may be the following:

Tents;

Table cloths;

Centerpieces;

Linens;

Flowers.

You won't want your wedding decoration to fall apart in the middle of your reception! So investing in higher-quality items, they will definitely last longer, and you’ll be able to use it again for future events. So it’s truly a win-win!

For example, durable flowers can be a great addition to your wedding décor. You can find beautiful, lifelike silk flowers that will last forever. And they come in so many different varieties!

6. Be Careful With The Catering

Consider the time of year and the weather when making your choices of meals and drinks for your big day. Catering can be a tricky business, but if you take the time to plan it out carefully, you’ll be sure to wow your guests with deliciousness. 

Just remember to keep the heat in mind when planning, you don’t want your guests to get overheated or dehydrated. Also, make sure there is enough food to go around. No one likes being hungry at a wedding! You’ll be all set!

2023 Wedding Flower Trends

 From epic aisles and statement centerpieces to dainty bouquets and dramatic overhead installations, here's what's to come in terms of big-day blooms in 2023 wedding.

After you've selected your wedding venue and hired your vendors, sent out your acrylic wedding invitations,  it's important to decide what you want the day's floral décor to look like. From bouquets and boutonnières to ceremony aisle arrangements and reception centerpieces, the flowers used throughout your wedding, help drive home your overarching aesthetic and enhance the overall experience for you and your guests. If you're ready to start choosing the flowers for your own 2023 wedding, the latest trends are the perfect place to draw inspiration from.

Order: Floral Acrylic Wedding Invitaitons

According to the experts, there's a lot to look forward to when it comes to wedding flowers this year. Bright, bold color palettes, unique centerpiece vessels, and statement-making hanging installations are all on order. Unexpected flowers, single varieties used en masse, and architectural arrangements will also be big this year. You'll also see lots of seasonal, locally-grown flowers at weddings in 2023, but that's largely out of practicality and preference, not a new trend. As always, the focus should be on blooms that are seasonally appropriate so they’re at their peak and are more sustainable. In season is best! Whatever your wedding floral décor, don't feel pressured to make any dramatic changes to your plans. Your wedding should be a reflection of you and your partner, and if these trends don't speak to your personal style, they don't deserve a place in your wedding day.

Unique Color Palettes, Less Greenery

If there's one thing to expect from weddings in 2023, it's color. And that's especially true when it comes to flowers. Fashion-driven color palettes will reign supreme this year. 

Bright and bold pinks had a major moment last year—think Valentino F/W 2022 collection. That will continue this year, especially with Viva Magenta being the Pantone Color of the Year. Desaturated jewel tones, especially blues, olive green, and rust, will also have their moments, too.

Shades of purple and yellow-green hues will have their moments in 2023. But if you love warmer colors, don't fret, the experts say those are still very much so in for the new year. We’ve also been seeing a big emphasis on saturated warm tones—shades and tints of reds, oranges, pinks, and every varied combination of the three. 

And because more couples will be relying on bolder color palettes, the use of greenery will drop significantly. We expects to see far less greenery used in 2023, especially in terms of centerpieces. There will be little to no greenery in floral arrangements. If filler of foliage is used, it will have a color that complements the wedding palette. 

I love peachy yarrow, golden ferns, blooming jasmine or clematis, white spirea, or dark foliage like begonia or huechera for this effect.

Full, Dynamic Ceremony Aisles and Backdrops

Think of it this way: Your ceremony is the opening act for your day, and treating your guests to a major "wow" moment as soon as they arrive sets the tone for a spectacular evening to come. For that reason, statement ceremony décor will continue to be a major trend for 2023. 

The key details? Aisles and backdrops. We will continue to see lots of dreamy aisles, arches, and backdrops.The emphasis on the aisle itself—not just the backdrop—is exciting. She's looking forward to many "major aisle moments rather than just arches and chuppahs.

Architectural styles will be favored, too. More dynamic full floral aisles, always. We are also seeing an interest in unique backdrop shapes and multi layered arches. Anything that embraces architecture or creates new architectural elements in a ceremony will be popular.

Single Flower Varieties Used En Masse

Variety may be the spice of life, but it's certainly not the be all, end all when it comes to wedding décor. Our experts are excited to work with fewer types of flowers in 2023. We are loving the trend of using fewer flower varieties in arrangements, and clustering one floral type en masse for greater impact in large installations.

As for what types of flowers you can expect to see most often, and one type shoot to the top of lists: baby's breath. Baby’s breath has seen a huge revival, especially en masse. Honestly almost anything en masse, whether it be bulk color or bulk stems, seems to be generating a lot buzz. Other types of flowers we can see couples use en masse as of late include hydrangeas, roses, and anemones, but anything goes depending on your personal preferences.

Non-Traditional and Statement Centerpiece Vessels

Move over, mercury glass and compote vases: The pros say these once-beloved vessels are on their way out, and new, cool options are taking center stage. Black vessels will make an appearance more onto tables for a chic look. And unique vessels and tinted candlelight" are major centerpiece trends for 2023.

The overall shape of arrangements will change, too. Some couples are breaking away from the traditional round centerpiece and bringing a lot of variety to their tables—from retro table lamps to six-foot-tall trees to whimsical cloche gardens. We are enjoying the multi-faceted and layered look versus a standard single vessel filled with a designed arrangement.

Smaller, More Impactful Bouquets

Massive, overflowing wedding bouquets were trending for years, but the experts confirm this style is on its way out. And that's good news for wedding budgets and the people carrying bouquets—large, cascading arrangements can be extremely heavy and difficult to tote around for the most of the day. Wedding bouquets are going to continue to move smaller in scale. The goal is to overpower or take away from the design of a gown, but tastefully accent it.

Brides are all about loose and airy bouquets and many are opting for a more petite size. While bouquets are still well loved, we'll see a lot of preference towards a smaller posey at 2023 wedding party.

Living Arrangements

Cut flowers are lovely, but the experts say 2023 couples plan lessen their collective carbon footprints by bringing in lots of living floral and greenery options. For aisle treatment, we love dense mono-floral arrangements, potted plants, grass clusters, or other setting-inspired flora lining the aisle. Using potted plants and live trees throughout the wedding means that the couple can enjoy them for years to come. They could then be planted in their homes, which is good for the earth and great for lasting memories.
