Black and white is not just classic and timelessly beautiful. This theme is nowadays presented in a new form, more modern. The new type of black and white theme is not inspired by the classic style, but by the modern whimsical style. This color combo is even more impressive now that our designers are using a lot of texture to highlight its beauty and uniqueness. We can see black and white wedding items reflected by ruffles, damask and chevron patterns, ombre shades and floral prints.

There are even more ideas to get inspired from, especially if you’re a vintage couple. You can use the amazing ‘40s style and plan a retro themed wedding. Or, you can get into the’20s mood and go for a striking Art Deco black and white cake. Who doesn’t like the black and white style? It is ideal for a wedding because of its understated elegance. This color mix exudes simplicity, whimsicality and daintiness. It is practically one of those themes that you can never fail while using it.

We can see this style inserted in all wedding fields, starting with bridal dresses and ending up with wedding floral decorations and cakes. Let’s talk about cakes for now. This field is very complex and beautifully enhanced by our wedding stylists. Contemporary cakes are geometrical, diversified and very rich in color and flavor. You can plan your wedding cake by design, by taste, by color or by embellishment. Your cake can be simple and plain or rich and textured.

Ruffles and frills are ideal decorative theme selections for a modern wedding party. But what would be the most adequate style for a black and white theme? We think that you guys should try the chevron pattern in a first instance. This pattern is based on zig-zag lines and it is one of the most fun and whimsy of all! Chevron looks similar to the striped and zebra pattern. But it is a bit wider in stripes and more modern in appearance. You can add another color to this pattern, just to make the cake look more eye-catchy and personalized.

Black & white themes look amazing next to shades of hot pink, blue, green, purple or yellow. Another way of emphasizing the beauty of a black and white theme is to incorporate it through an ombre style in your cake. You can start your gradient palette from white and continue with gray shades. The bottom tiers can feature really black nuances. Or, you can mix grays, plums, burgundies and other dark hues in your white and black scheme. This will surely make your cake even a more impressive confection. We like the cake designs we brought for you today! What do you think?
