All-White Wonderland

She created a winter wonderland, characterized by an abundance of filmy white, sparkling lights and oversized crystal trees, highlighted by a silvery glow. Understated elegance creates a spectacularly simple and astonishingly beautiful background for this wedding celebration. It’s creative and romantic to the max!

Let the Background Shine

The soaring amber expanse of the building’s barrel-vaulted ceiling and the glow of massed candles on each table provide all the drama that’s necessary, while snowflakes, embellished linen and silvery accents add dramatic contrast.

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Jessica Strickland Photography | Mon Amie Events
Matching tablecloths and napkins from BBJ’s elegant collection of wedding linen have enough shine to be interesting, but don’t distract in the slightest from the monochromatic scheme. It is a fantasy of delight with no additional color needed.

Formal Taken to New Heights
Jessica Strickland Photography | Mon Amie Events
As simple as the “little black dress” and as formal as a black tuxedo, a wedding reception done in black and white makes a stunning statement! Ornate silver chargers and sparkling crystal reach high notes of elegance, while white orchids add soft glamor to an otherwise edgy theme.

Just a Hint of Color
Jessica Strickland Photography | Mon Amie Events
The contrast of black and white is almost theatrical, but perfectly tuned to a high-rise celebration. Breathtaking scenery stretches almost to forever just outside the windows, and a bit of natural greenery comes indoors, although it is the massed white flowers that occupy center stage on black-skirted tables.

Although even the dining chairs are dressed in formal black, there is a lightness and balance in this perfectly executed formal setting that can’t help but put smiles on the face of every guest! And that’s something to celebrate!

A Rosy Glow
Conforti Photography | Mon Amie Events
Sometimes a sure-fire way to achieve elegance is to pick a dramatic hue and use it with abandon. With nothing to dilute the color-drenched banquet tables, lighter chairs are a sophisticated choice. The rosy glow is echoed in oversized floral centerpieces — and the only possible reaction is delight! In a setting this festive, the addition of clear glass globes adds a necessary touch of whimsy.
