Nothing beats the classic elegance of black-and-white wedding design! This timeless color combination is perfect for any season and creates a sleek and sophisticated ambiance for your big day. Get inspired by a styled shoot hosted at Diamond Creek Farm, featuring stylish event rentals from Southern Events Online. From chic acrylic seating to bold linens, we have everything you need to host an elevated black-and-white wedding.

Simple Chic Ceremony

For this styled shoot, we aimed to showcase the beauty of a modern black-and-white wedding. Starting with an elegant outdoor ceremony! Hosting outdoors is all about letting nature shine. At Diamond Creek, this entails the sprawling Tennessee farmlands. Just past the veranda, a manicured lawn overlooking the countryside is a fitting setting for a vow exchange. Ceremony seating consisted of our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. The clear material is chic and it doesn’t take away from the view. The outdoor space is elevated with a floral backdrop made of white flowers and dark greenery. An equally stunning alternative, consider our Fiona Mantle with the same flower arrangement. Off to the side, a bistro table is dressed up with Black Nova Linens for a live painter.

Luxe Black and White Lounge

An elegant black and white lounge area with some grey accents is the perfect addition to any wedding. An essential for a cocktail hour! This type of setup creates a chic and sophisticated space for guests to relax and socialize in. Start with our luxurious Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and the matching Armchairs. To frame the space we always recommend a rug, and in this case, our Black-Silver Rug is perfect. It pairs beautifully with a set of Echo Mirror Silver Side Tables. If you like a little contrast, place a Gold Hammered Coffee Table in the center. Or you can keep to the color scheme and opt for pewter.

Contemporary Tablescape

The table was set with a stunning combination of black-and-white elements. We used a Grey Goose tablecloth as the base, complemented by a romantic Dove Grey Table Runner. The use of soft grey linens allowed the pure white flower centerpieces to shine! On top, we placed Glass Chargers with a Black Rim and Earthen Onyx China to create contrast. Matched by Noir Matte Black Flatware and solid Black Poly Napkins. Cybil Wine Glasses and Champagne flutes were a fun and funky addition that lent a contemporary flair. Complete with the same acrylic seating from the ceremony, this tablescape exudes modern luxury. Thanks to the natural palette it is also versatile! It would look just as beautiful for a minimalist celebration in a modern event barn as it would for a black-tie wedding in a grand ballroom.

Tess and Rene’s spring wedding was held at a favorite Franklin venue of ours – CJ’s Off the Square.  The couple highlighted the historic elegance of this event space, using Black Pintuck Linens, our Belmont Charger and Chevron Napkin.  Belle Fleurs really highlighted the garden setting with gorgeous white floral arrangements of anemones, hydrangea and peonies.  Sophisticated and classic – we really love the timeless look for this garden wedding.

All the lovely images you see below are thanks to Cynthia Michelle – you can see more from Tess and Rene’s happy day on CJ’s blog here.  Enjoy!

For Caitlin and Dominic’s big day, these two love birds celebrated with their closest friends and family in style!  Their winter wedding in Nashville, featured black and white decor adding a modern feel to the rustic industrial venue.  Bold black folding chairs, crisp white linens are a stark but elegant contrast to the wood pillars and brick backdrop. Italian string lights and crystal chandliers from our friends at Bright Event Productions made the space come to life.

Thank you to Beautiful Day Photography for the gorgeous photos below, and best wishes to the newlyweds -Caitlin and Dominic!  We loved working with you both 🙂
