Your Wedding: A Black & White Color Story

Your wedding should tell a story ~ one about the two of you and about love. A wonderful way to do that is through color. Black and white is modern and classic at once. The two colors can be accented by any third color. It's easy to work with, and you will still love it 25 years from now. Here's inspiration.
