  Perfect Wedding Color Palette: Cameo and Black

  Pale Pink Dress

  A pale pink dress looks glamorous -- especially with an ostrich-feather petticoat peeking out. Hints of black in the bouquet's ribbon play on the theme.

  Pink Pearls

  Pink and Black Tablesetting

  To reproduce this setting, use pink as the backdrop and ebony as a border on plain white plates. Topstitch black thread across linen napkins. For the favor boxes, glue a thin black-and-white striped ribbon on the top, then glue a plastic cameo over it (ours is from Jewelry Findings Online). Tuck a treat, such as a chocolate, inside. To make the place card, use your computer to print the delicate black frame on pink card stock.

  Rose and Ranunculus Centerpiece

  If the effusive ranunculus and garden roses are the stars of this centerpiece, the peach calla lilies, ruffly bottlebrush and grevillea, dinner-plate dahlias, spindly spider lilies, and vintage velvet swirls are their lovely supporting players. Lending a shot of modern sophistication are sprigs of European privet berries and smoke-bush leaves scattered throughout. For even more drama, florist Naomi deManana paired this arrangement with a dome of roses and placed both in bold black glass urns by Barreveld International.
