Love in Black and White

Black and white or some deviation is a hot color scheme here in the valley. Hot pink and black, red and black, you name it, we've worked with.

Normally the go-to flower is in the shade other than black. 

But there are a few flowers which bring this color to life.

You can use white gerbera daisies (or any colored gerbera daisies) with dark centers.

I used these in a weekend wedding with bright, hot colors and black accents.

I also used them in a black, silver and baby blue scheme.

My favorite though is the anemone. It's delicate, feminine and its deep navy center photographs black.

They are seasonal however and work best when there's the slightest "nip"  in the air. Let's be honest, how many of those days do we have here in the valley? ;)

This weekend was perfect anemone weather with the rain and the chilly temps.

Lauren's bouquet was a simple calla bouquet. We brought the anemones into the bridesmaid's simple hydrangea bouquet.

We also swirled white calla lilies in the centerpieces with black rocks. A simple, modern and clean touch.

So if you're using a black and white or black and red or even black and lime green, there are options in the flower world.
