black & white & beautiful


A scrollwork pattern and playful dots decorated alternating tiers on the cake. The dessert rested on a gold stand surrounded by petals and candles for a finished look.

The design on the escort cards was similar to the invitations and stood out against a dark wood shelf where they were displayed.

The four tiers of the bride’s cake were decorated in black and white fondant meant to look like damask.


The escort cards were displayed in framed pockets that hung from an easel. Ashley’s creative maid of honor helped design the display with frames the ladies found in an antique shop.

A friend of the bride made customized drink stirrers with white and green tags, marked with the wedding date.


Distressed black urns filled with white hydrangeas added a touch of Tuscany to the reception decor. A black-and-white runner helped the head table stand out from the rest.

Damask was a common pattern used throughout the reception details right down to the place cards. The damask-bordered place cards were set into small frames and placed at each head table setting.
