I talked to a bride today who is having a black and white polka dot theme with pale pink accents. I have never heard of this before but I think if would be absolutely lovely! Here are some ideas for incorporating this theme:

A tea length wedding gown is perfect for a fun wedding like this! The photo shown here is Madison from Chrys Cross Bridal ($199) rendered to show a polka dot sash and top with pink trim. Matching bridesmaids gowns in black and white polka with a pale pink sash and top would be the perfect compliment!Â\ Or pink polka dot dresses with black sashes for a calmer, romantic feel. The men would look dashing in polka dot vest with pale pink boutinieres.

Flowers could be pale pink roses or gerbera daisies. The bridesmaids would be accented with pink ribbon, the bride’s could have polka dot ribbon. For a simple yet stunning centerpiece, place a single pale pink gerbera in a clear class vase tied with a polka dot ribbon. The bouquets shown here from Jenny’s Flowers would look stunning in a pale pink color with the polka dot ribbons.

Your table could be set with white dishes and table cloth , with a pale pink runner and black napkins or have tables alternating white and black table clothes with pink linens for a “polka dot” room. Or go all out with table settings like the one show below from Distinctive Event Rentals.

For a simple yet stylish guest book, find a scrapbook with black pages. Using pink and white cardstock, cut circles in different sizes and paste one of each color on the right side of each 2 page spread. Pick a white circle as the main circle, and then have the pink circle behind it as an accent. The accent circle could be only part way on the page, with excess trimmed off. Make each page a little different. On the left side of each two page spread, place a black and white photo of your and your fiance. Then, provide pink gell pens for guests to sign in the white circles.

Have more ideas? Those are just a few that popped into my head as I was working on that dress image. Feel free to use the comments section to share your ideas as well!
