Black and White Wedding Ideas

An ongoing trend this year in weddings is the black and white color palette.  It works because it is a classic combination and will never be out-of-date.  Don't be trapped into thinking this combination is boring, you can create so much interest with these contrasting colors.

As always, I have provided some inspiration for you to check out!

The Color of the Year 2012 is...Tangerine Tango!

For all fashion forward brides:

It's official, Pantone has name Tangerine Tango as the color of 2012.  This color will be the IT color in fashion, home design, and yes, weddings.  According to Pantone, the choice of Tangerine Tango "provide(s) the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward."

For those unfamiliar with Pantone, a little background: Pantone LLC is the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The wedding industry relies heavily on the Pantone color system for bridesmaid dresses, linens, and all other color items related to weddings.


Now to the good stuff!  What will Tangerine Tango look like in weddings?  Trendy brides may use Tangerine Tango as their main color, or could pair it with another color to add pizazz and pop.

One option would be to use Tangerine Tango as an accent color, while keeping all other decor white.  Additional colors can be used in this scheme, but should be kept to lighter hues to avoid competing with the red-orange color.

Bridesmaid dresses can really make a statement in Tangerine Tango, and you can find it in a variety of style to suit each of your girls.

Lounge furniture looks hot with a pop of Tangerine Tango!

Don't think that using Tangerine Tango means you can't have a traditional look for your wedding.  Roses in this color look romantic and traditional, while adding interest to classic white tables.






If you and your groom are fun, bright personalities, consider pairing Tangerine Tango with another color that creates drama and a stunning look to your wedding.  Tangerine Tango (or perhaps a lighter shade of orange) and Purple could create a fun, tropical sunset look.

Wedding Trend: Wedding Music Videos!

Couples who hire a videographer are looking to have their wedding memories captured in a unique way that they can enjoy for years to come.  An emerging trend has been for couples to have their videographer create a music video of their wedding day.  Now, couples are begining to take this trend to a whole new level by having a music video created using footage of their wedding day AND footage of them lip singing the song during their wedding day!

This is an example of the present trend of having wedding footage set to a song to create a music video:





Here are two examples of the new trend in which couples (and even guests) are "singing" the song:





Bridal Guide Magazine has several tips they share on how to create a music video of your wedding day:

Learn the Lyrics: Make sure anyone you plan to include in the singing portion knows the words by heart; your video will look much more natural if you're not studying the sheet right before the shot!

Watch the Original Video: The videographer, Elysium Productions, gathered inspiration from Cobra Starship's video. This enabled them to pre-produce graphics and wording.

Make a Timeline: The couple's planner, Carolyn Chen of The Special Day, coordinated the schedule to ensure that Ella and Sam had time to film their video without taking away from their big day. This also meant coordinating with the other vendors, like lighting and photo booth, to make sure everything was in the right place when it was time to film.
(Power Wedding Planning may be the perfect coordinator for you if you are in the Green Bay area!)

Create a Shot List: The biggest challenge is making sure that you have every word covered! Elsyium Productions created a shot list to prevent any mishaps.

Wedding Trend: Cool Gray is Hot, Hot, Hot!

Some of the best colors to choose for your wedding color palette are colors that let bolder, more vibrant colors pop.  Often considered a nuetral, gray can be a perfect base for you color palette.  The softer hue of gray doesn't over power other colors the way black can.  And it holds more interest than a simple white or ivory.  Here are three example inspiration boards in which gray plays the base role to another color that truly gets the chance to pop!
