Black and White Party?

Question

Having a Black and White themed banquet where we decorate the tables. Black and White will be the base colors, but we can add color, theme, ect. to our table to make it ours. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

BRIGHT YELLOW.  Sunflowers are bright yellow with big black centers (black-eyed susans), so you could have some stalks of big yellow sunflowers in vases on the table.....Big checks of black & white would make a nice table cloth, with a black one at a different angle on top of it .& black napkins..... and several different sized tall, clear vases (with clear stones or marbles in them) and just a couple of stalks of sunflowers in each...  If you can use napkin rings, use black ones with just one flower on each .....elegant!

Love Tx2Step's answer :)

Alternatively you could do a "black & white movie" theme - just a general one or something specific like Casablanca. Get movie memorabilia like posters, props from a party store (old-timey hats, gangster guns, boas) etc. It would be fun to dress up as old-time movie stars too - especially for the girls (Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall, Audry Hepburn). Have fun!

Answer 3

You could add whatever you favorite color is to add some color.  Any color goes with black and white, those two colors will make it pop.  You can add a bright pink, a red, purple, blue, green, etc, and it will look SO pretty together!

What is your group interested in?  As a group get together and decided what you all like and are interested in and go with that.  If you can all agree on a color or theme, do that with your table.  It sounds like such a fun idea and your group can have such a fun time with this!

You can do an old time theme, like the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop, you can do the color theme and do things with just the color you pick, if it's a color theme, do flowers with those colors, napkins with those colors, decorations with those colors, etc.

You can also do a Hollywood glam theme, with those colors you can add silver to it and add some "bling" or glamour and make it glamourous and go with a glamour theme or a Hollywood theme.

I hope you and your friends have a great time!
