Everything in this modern Dallas wedding photographed by David Loi Studios works well together. Black and white make appearances of some kind in most weddings -this wedding chose to embrace these two colors for nearly everything. And what a successful decision that was! The entire wedding party is decked out in black and white and the reception decor follows this color theme. The bride's small bouquet of white roses is the perfect complement to her dress that has dramatic white ruffles. The bottom layer of the all-white wedding cake looks like it's covered with a similar ruffle pattern. Many weddings favor the color white for the bride's dress, the cake, and the flowers. The use of the color black is what really sets this wedding apart. The table settings with black plates and black beaded centerpieces are absolutely gorgeous. Sometimes you don't need a "pop of color" to stand out. Check out more photos from this wedding in the gallery.
