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.

The perfect addition to black-and-white wedding decor is a touch of greenery! If you aren’t hosting outdoors, our Boxwood Walls are an elegant and natural addition. Use it as a backdrop for the cake-cutting ceremony, or to place behind the sweetheart table. It is easy to customize, whether you prefer fresh flowers or a neon sign.

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.

This year’s A Very Marry Occasion wedding showcase at CJ’s Off the Square was a gorgeous success! We’re still swooning over all the opulent details, from our gorgeous white furniture to the lush floral magic from Enchanted Florist. We set the scene for an upscale outdoor garden reception with our White-Washed farm tables, Vienna Couch (covered in our ivory slipcovers),  assorted pillows, Lilac Fairmont Runners, Belmont Chargers and Abby Fine Silver Flatware. Guests for the open house mingled at our Jackson Silver Pedestal Bistro Tables. Our Willow Cake Plateau made a sweet dessert display in the cake room. All in all, it was a fantastic showcase thanks to the careful planning and creative vision of CJ Dickson. The event has been featured on Wedding Chicks and Ruffled!

Special thanks to Austin Gros for his wonderful photography work!

(Note: our Prissy Loveseat, featured in the photo above, has been retired, but our Delilah Loveseat would make a beautiful alternative.)

We’re seeing a lot of upscale lounges and tablescapes set outdoors for weddings and events this year, and we swoon every time! We achieve this look with ornate details, luxe linens, and metallic accents. The juxtaposition of opulent and rustic pieces (like pairing our Prissy Loveseat with our Whitewashed Farm Tables) in the outdoor setting creates a lavish atmosphere that will make your guests say, ooh-la-la. Grab a fancy cocktail and relax!
