One of the hottest French wedding trends is Drama. And what can be more dramatic than black? Currently, French designer Max Chaoul has a few stunning black dresses in his bridal collection and they definitely pack a punch. Cymbeline Paris has no less than 4 black gowns in their collection and they, too, are full of the Wow! factor.
To add other black accents to your wedding, look at dramatic bouquets in black or red. Calla lilies in black or white are sophisticated and sleek and absolutely perfect. Or, to add a more theatrical element, these fans by Olivia Oberlin would fantastic and make a unique statement. (They would also be lovely bridesmaid gifts.)
For extreme French style, go for black and pink or, for sheer glamour, a mix of black and gold. Incorporate colour accents in table linen, crockery, flowers and favors.
Drama, decadence and opulence are key for this look. Be bold, be daring. For real life inspiration, have a look at this uber-dramatic, almost-Goth, black and pink wedding.
