Wedding Style - Monochrome Elegance

Wedding styling: modern monochrome

Classically elegant monochrome wedding ideas with a modern edge

Weddings are highly personal events, with everything from the dress to the decor hand-chosen in a style you love. But, of course, personal choice sometimes needs a little helping hand - especially when you have no idea what you want! This is where trends come in handy... Being able to predict what will be 'trending' in upcoming wedding seasons means you can plan your day knowing you'll be able to find inspiration and suppliers who can help create your bridal vision. Thanks to online scrapbooking Pinterest, who've reported what people have been pinning, sharing and searching this year, read on to be inspired by what's hot and happening...

MONOCHROME ELEGANCE

There's something infinitely 'bridal' about pure and classic elegance. Whether you opt for traditional decor or a more contemporary style, think clean lines, a strong palette and a polished finish.

Add monochrome shades for a sublimely smooth aesthetic - black or silver shoes can bring a modern edge to a classic look, while bridesmaids in black whisper supreme chic.

A pinned chignon or structured updo (think Audrey Hepburn-esque) paired with glossy make-up and a bold lip transforms an otherwise muted look, and when it comes to jewellery, feel free to go big with your bling.

When it comes to decor, avoid anything too fussy and let a clean, minimalist aesthetic make a super-chic statement.
