Black is a great color for weddings: in some color schemes it can be used just as a contrasting and accenting shade, other weddings, due to the rise of Halloween celebrations, can be styled in total black. Black fits many wedding themes and styles, from modern and minimal to vintage and moody, and if you are planning to have much of black in your wedding decor, you might want to show it in your invitations, too. Here are some ideas to pull off black wedding invites with style.
Color Schemes With Black
Black is a universal color that looks good with anything, so whatever other colors you take, it will look perfect. The most popular ideas are red and black, black and white and black and gold. As soon as you’ve chosen the colors, you can order your invitation suites in the same color palette.

How To Spruce Up Black Wedding Invitations?
This is perhaps the main question as black wedding invites can look boring and even oppressive. There are several ways to make them cooler, and the first idea is to pick cool envelopes with trendy details. These can be rough edge ones, envelopes with seals that secure blooms or leaves, suede envelopes with feathers, or even velvet envelopes with acrylic cards. You can also play with the lining adding eye-catchy landscapes or prints to it. The cards themselves can be made of creative materials like leather or acryl, or be eye-catchy thanks to calligraphy, gold or silver foil, lettering, embossing and other means. Get inspired!
