We are in love with this darker summer wedding theme! Usually when I think about summer weddings my mind is filled either with light and breezy tones or bright rainbow palette. I can’t be the only one, right? But why not go for a darker wedding theme?
Think about dark August (even September) nights, candles lush garden flowers. Dark base gives depth for other colors. Did you notice how those white flowers pop?
How to achieve a beautiful dark wedding theme?
For this black and burgundy wedding theme we chose elegant invitations with black envelopes and floral insert. The whole theme is visible right away! Similar design carries to the table setting and menu cards where you can see gold details on black. The table is set with black on black and only flowers bring color to the setting.
The cake design has the same theme as the invitations. The three tier cake has a smooth black surface that makes the white and red flowers pop beautifully!
The bridal look is strong and she is wearing a black flower wreath with dark amethyst jewellery. Bridal bouquet consists of huge flowers with lush green branches. Big roses, olive branches and dark red peonies with delicate white cornflowers make this bouquet rich and multidimensional. Same style can be seen on the boutonniere.
What a beautiful and dramatic style! Would you consider dark theme for your wedding?
