When it comes to winter weddings, there’s a certain magic in the air! Embracing the simplicity and sophistication of the season, consider a black and white color scheme. Whether you’re planning a formal gathering or a more relaxed event. The juxtaposition of these classic hues will lend a timeless look to your day! At Southern Events, we believe that creating a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere is key. That’s why we’re excited to share our favorite ideas for a modern black and white winter wedding, featuring our exquisite event rentals.

Simple Winter Wedding Ceremony Decor

Picture this: saying “I do” surrounded by simple yet stunning decor. We’re talking elegant seating with glowing candles or white floral arrangements placed atop Antique White Columns at the altar. At Southern Events, we have a beautiful inventory of chairs that will make your ceremony pop without stealing the show. Such as our Antique White Bentwood Chairs, bold Black Resin Folding Chairs, or modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. For a little extra coziness, line the aisle with mismatched black and white rugs. Keep it simple, keep it classy – that’s the secret sauce!

Black & White Wedding Tables

Now, let’s create a modern black and white wedding reception – where the magic really happens. Depending on whether you prefer a bright or moody look, start with crisp white or black tablecloths. They’re like a blank canvas ready for you to get creative with place settings (whereas the Black Nova Linens are perfect for fans of maximalism). Thankfully, Southern Events has a treasure trove of tableware and linens that’ll let you mix and match to create a vibe that’s all you. To contrast a white tablecloth, stack Glass Chargers with Black Rim, Onyx Earthen China or Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Whereas on top of black, you might feature our Black Round Lacquer Chargers, White Coupe China, and Bradley Flatware.

Moody Cocktail Hour Ideas

Time to transition to the celebration! Picture a moody cocktail hour – dim lights, sleek black and white lounge furniture, and high cocktail tables with chic black linens. For a memorable entrance, greet guests with a custom Harpeth Bar or snazzy Collins Black Wood Bar. Large crowds may require our Thompson Full Oval White Bar. However, any of these will look stunning paired with a Black Barback Shelves. And don’t forget signature black and white cocktails in dazzling glassware. Such as our popular Gatsby Coupe Glasses or contemporary Cybil Goblets. Finally, create some cozy spaces to mingle, whether you prefer lofty bistro tables or lounges. Our Black Mid-Century and Acrylic Square Back Barstools are a dream. As is our Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and the Regent Black Velvet Sofa with accent tables. Add in some black and white throw pillows or blankets to keep it cozy yet oh-so-cool.

Designed to ensure you stand out in the crowd, a sweetheart table must be stylish yet comfortable, plus picture-perfect. Get inspired by these on-trend sweetheart table ideas, with options for your wedding style and theme.

Trendy Tables & Linens

To create the base of your sweetheart setup you’ll need one of our beautiful tables. We offer a range of tables, rectangular and round, in different styles and finishes. For those who want a more minimal or rustic look, our classic farm tables are a great choice. But if you want to showcase some color, check out our huge selection of linens. Available in brilliant shades, unique patterns, and luxe materials, there is something for everyone. A few of our current favorites include Blush French Pleat, Moss Green Crush, and Gold Furrow.

Sweetheart Table Place Settings

To complete your tablescape, you’ll need serving ware! And while you are welcome to match the place settings at your guest tables, you can also create a completely unique setting. Start with one of our elegant chargers, preferably that contrasts the tabletop or linens. Followed by dinner plates, to contrast the charger. We’re currently loving our Earthen china selection! The serving ware you choose should match your featured metallic accent. The most popular choices being our Gold Austin and Abby Flatware. Finally, consider adding a new color to your palette with a set of napkins!

Statement Loveseats & Chairs

A popular design choice for a sweetheart table is statement seating. Usually a loveseat or unique chair, these pieces feature fun details that lend to your style or theme. Our loveseats are always a hit, including our Tabby Tufted Grey Linen Loveseat and Everly Sofa. Chic armchairs are equally popular, such as our Gloria Velvet or Saylor Navy Velvet Armchairs. If you prefer a more sleek but equally lux look, consider the Farrah Teal Velvet or Bamboo Armchair.
