Wedding Planner’s Tips: Black and Gold Details

When Katrina and Christian contacted me to plan their wedding in Venice, they wanted it to represent their styles.
It involved a bit of risk taking when we decided to go for details in black and gold… and it worked!

Nothing is more “glam” better than 2 paired details back and gold: for a wedding it’s a luxury combination you must follow if you want to break some rules.
Contrast of dark details are difficult to match, but gold elements, maybe glittering, may blend it right, with a touch of luxury and romance.

You don’t have to be a wedding planner to know that black and gold is a perfect combination if you want to communicate elegance: think about architects and hotels: how often do they use this combination? Black draperies and golden accents or hardware?
At a wedding black and gold is not common at all.

How to include “black” into a wedding, where the king color is white all over, without turing the wedding into something too weird-looking or gloomy?
Personally, I chose the solution to use black in very small amount and details: it is such a strong color for a wedding, that a few touches make the combination very nicely balanced.
