Wedding color scheme help!

This sounds so classic! My parents had a black and white wedding. They did black dresses for the bridesmaids and had red roses throughout be their one pop of color to really draw attention to the red. I think any bright color would work as your one color; pastels might just fade into the background with the stark black/white contrast.

You're right that classic gold will be hard without sequins or itchy glitter, but what about champagne? You can find something dark enough that it doesn't look like the white outfits but still keep a classy black/white/gold look. I grabbed some pics from pinterest. The other option would be more of a blush which would still blend with a neutral pallate, or you could definitely do green if you want to pick up on the greenery!

I agree with the previous post to have black (or any neutral shade) as a backdrop for some creative bouquets. With the fabric your man is wearing, it looks like you're going for something a little more formal and crisp.

There are certain flowers that have a more formal look to them...typically simpler, more striking shapes like calla lilies, rather than fluffy and romantic like peonies. Or you could do all greenery, or succulents, etc.

So we are doing a black and white wedding with silver accents. I'm in white, FH in all black, BM in floor-length black, and the GM in black pants and white jackets. They will have accents of silver everywhere! So black and white is EXTREMELY classy and if you wanted to add a pop of color you could put them in green or a beige tan color like PP have said.

We're doing black and white as well based on our marble invites, with a pop of color. I agree though that green would probably be best to go with it if you're keeping it neutral. FH really wants to wear a navy suit so I'll probably pair his suit with a wine tie and then have that color pop in a few areas.

Found this idea on Pinterest using fuchsia as the pop of color.

So classy! I was curious how they would look so I looked up some inspiration of real weddings. I personally would want some pop of color so my suggestion is teal like in this first link! Or if you want bold maybe a pretty sapphire blue. Good luck with everything, I think your wedding will be beautiful no matter what you decide!
