Go back to basics with black and white \u2014 and you&#8217;ll be out of the gray area. There&#8217;s nothing more elegant than a black and white affair, hands down. It&#8217;s clean, sophisticated and timeless. Whether you opt for polka dots, crisp stripes, toile or a geometric pattern for your wedding decor, black and white looks sharp and interesting, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>We love when couples go for the bold contrast of black and white when seemingly everyone is gravitating toward muted tones for the big day. The back-to-basic palette also creates the perfect moment to add a pop (or pops) of color(s). We love touches of fuschia, gold, yellow or orange combined with black and white.<\/p>\n<p>From fashion to cake decor, places settings and more, here are some black and white looks we love.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 575px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/200058408421967598\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pinImage\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/b8\/b5\/63\/b8b563fc32a3c96e77c8a4568a0250e7.jpg\" alt=\"cake with wedding date on it #weddingcake #modernweddingcake #weddingchicks http:\/\/www.weddingchicks.com\/2014\/04\/09\/illuminated-industrial-wedding-ideas\/\" width=\"575\" height=\"865\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pinImage\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/b8\/b5\/63\/b8b563fc32a3c96e77c8a4568a0250e7.jpg\" alt=\"cake with wedding date on it #weddingcake #modernweddingcake #weddingchicks http:\/\/www.weddingchicks.com\/2014\/04\/09\/illuminated-industrial-wedding-ideas\/\" width=\"575\" height=\"865\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 578px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pinImage\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/30\/e5\/98\/30e598fde3d6e01e847baea09af77320.jpg\" alt=\"This striped wedding cake is absolutely stunning. #watters #cake www.pinterest.com\/wattersdesigns\/\" width=\"578\" height=\"867\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pinImage\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/30\/e5\/98\/30e598fde3d6e01e847baea09af77320.jpg\" alt=\"This striped wedding cake is absolutely stunning. #watters #cake www.pinterest.com\/wattersdesigns\/\" width=\"578\" height=\"867\" \/><\/noscript> Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 578px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/10273905374647859\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pinImage\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/77\/13\/87\/771387ea91d62a601eab2305ca02fd0a.jpg\" alt=\"Chic and Modern Black and White Wedding Inspiration with Brilliant Fuchsia | See More!
