Black and White Themed Wedding

Michelle and Keegan’s colour scheme of black and white with little touches of green was, I think you’ll agree, a very elegant and stylish choice. The bridesmaids – who wore long, black gowns and carried lilies were the epitome of chic and were upstaged only by the gorgeous bride herself.

Gleneagles Golf course in West Vancouver was the location for the wedding, in the clubhouse overlooking the sixth fairway and beyond to the ocean at Larson Bay. I’m sure there’s a pun in there somewhere for the ‘green’ in the colour scheme…

If you’re at the colour-choosing stage of planning a wedding, Black and White is an excellent choice – black is a great colour on most skin types (especially with the hint of a golden glow – bottle or otherwise), and it’s also easy to pick up invitations, shoes, parasols, and other accessories in the right shade. And you can bet if your venue are printing out the menu cards they will be in black and white too.
