Black & White Party

In the South, we love to host parties. A party is so much fun, and we can always find a reason to celebrate! There are many ways to approach planning such a celebration and deciding on food, decorations, etc. Selecting a theme makes this process easier and allows the elements of the party to be more cohesive. One unique way to theme an event is to use a color scheme as your theme. For example, here are some pictures of a lovely black & white party. A black and white color scheme allows you to use basic pieces that you already have. This is a simple way to create an elegant evening.

This home already had a black and white checked floor, which tied perfectly into the party and set the theme right from the entrance. The table was a picture of excellence and was put together with basic pieces that the hostess already owned. Simple white china is even given a new look when paired with black chargers and linens.

Let the color-based theme of the event extend to the menu also. This allows you to get creative in new ways and create a table with a unique aesthetic from the décor to the food.

Hopefully seeing these classic colors used in a new way inspires you. Next time you are looking to host an event, consider a theme based around color. Whether it’s black and white or a brighter palette, this approach will help your next party look like a true masterpiece of color.

What is your favorite color scheme?
