This monochromatic palette is certainly not for the feint of heart, but I know there are a few brides out there who would adore an all-black wedding. A white wedding dress will keep it from having too much of a gothic look, but you can certainly dress your ‘maids in black. Pretty filigree and lots of light will also help soften the effect.
