A Match Made in HEAVEN....

There is a couple I know who I truly believe are a match made in heaven. They celebrate all the joys and endure all the challenges of life because they are soul mates who are eternally bound. A genuine team, always together in this earthly life and beyond.
In a strange way this is how I feel about the classic color combination: Black and White. Don't misunderstand, I am a color fan as indicated in my last post. I adore color on a bride somewhere on her ensemble ranging from an accessory whisper to a pale blue gown with hot, pink stilettos. It's just the crisp, sophistication of black and white is so chic and FRENCH I can't resist it as an inspiration for a bride and/or the wedding aesthetic.

Over the years I've seen horrible versions of black and white wedding gowns that are way too literal in my opinion. You don't need black flowers to drip down a white wedding gown to achieve the effect. Black accents need to be bold, but balanced and not consuming as done beautifully in this gown via a black and crystal sash. Belts/sashes are still going strong this season and are a perfect way to accent a gown in just the right presence of black or any other color. I also like how belts flatter beautifully and provide an instant hour glass to any body type. Black achieves this the best as it provides the boldest contrast.

Maybe wearing black is not your thing or your mom can't fathom even a hint on you for your wedding day. It is a bit edgy and somewhat daring, which understandably is not for everyone. Perhaps black and white peep toes under that gown might just do the trick for a little unexpected twist.

Consider the inspiration and may this eternal, pair made in heaven guide you in fashion and perhaps life itself.
