BLACK WEDDING INVITES PORTRAY A SOPHISTICATED STATEMENT
The color black is a bold and powerful color that can really draw attention to your wedding theme, decor, or stationery. Whether you’re planning a black-tie event or an outdoor reception under the night sky, Minted has a collection of beautiful black wedding invitations that feature hand-made designs and are easily customizable to your needs.
WEDDING THEMES THAT ALIGN WITH YOUR COLOR CHOICE
Because black oozes sophistication, dark wedding invitations may pair beautifully with the following themes:
- Formal Affair: Throwing a classic nighttime black-tie event is always a chic option. Hotel ballrooms, elegant historic homes, and museums are great venues that seem to pair perfectly with an invite possessing darker tones.
- Modern Gothic: If you’re planning to go for dark flower arrangements, candelabras, and perhaps some hanging chandeliers, then black wedding invites will be right on target. A castle or medieval lodge would be a perfect venue for a wedding like this.
- Rooftop/Outdoor Venue: An evening wedding outdoors is the perfect use for black wedding invitations. Whether your event will be on a rooftop with a reception looking up at the stars, held on a mountain, or by a lake, tying your invitations in with the natural elements of the night sky is a sure win.
- Halloween Theme: If you’re getting married in late October, you may want to play into this theme. It’s a great reason to tie in the color black and use some spooky decor.
