If you are having a black and white themed wedding to compliment your black wedding dress, it can seem a bit boring to have standard white invitations with black script. Really … you don’t want your guests to open the invitation to your big day and yawn.

So what should you use? If you will have another color as an accent at the wedding, be sure to use it in the invitations! A splash of red or blue would certainly make a statement. If, however, you are focusing on only using black and white, below are the top ten black and white invitations we’ve found online:

Luke Watson, the Captain of the Western Province Rugby team, married his sweetheart Elaine Lock on August 1st 2009. The groom, along with his groomsmen, wore traditional Scottish kilts made from the Watson Clan tartan. His bride wore (what else?) a stunning black wedding dress.

Elaine had her dress custom designed by Gavin Rajah. The designer described the black wedding dress as “fabulous”. He said that Elaine was “bucking the convention” of white dresses.
He added that he had designed some black wedding dresses recently, claiming that those marriages had “lasted longer than the ones dressed in white!” Now that’s good news for us!
If Elaine, a wedding planner by trade, thinks a black wedding dress is the way to good, we must be on to something good! I wonder … how many black wedding dresses will we see this year?
