Answer 1

have you ever bought the magazine " grace ormond's wedding style"?  it is filled with over the top formal ideas.  flowers, ice sculptures, tables, linens, all to die for.  

Answer 2

I love that color scheme!!! Simple, elegant, classy, and inexpensive! For your centerpieces, red roses with white accents would look beautiful. Little candle holders with red, black, and white floating candles would look awesome! You could even order personalized red & white M&Ms and put them in little favor bags/boxes!

Answer 3

tower centerpieces in black 36" vases with white floral.

Is your wedding truly a black tie affair or are those just your colors?

Black tie; all men should wear tuxes and women should be in evening dresses/attire.

You should do some low ambient lighting and maybe have the ceiling draped. If you can aford to drape the walls it would look cool to have some red lighting projected up from a light positioned just behind the drape on the floor. Check out this link.

Answer 5

I love the colors. There is a lot that you can do with them.

For the centerpieces I would definitely think about using roses. The black baccara roses are stunning and make a lovely centerpiece.

Here are a few ideas that you might be able to use.
