Are they not the most adorable couple you have ever seen, and just so perfect for my black and white wedding post? From her gorgeous gown and his custom black and white tuxedo look to their matching black umbrellas (giving off total Luv Betsey umbrella vibes) and her unique headpiece by Oscar de la Renta, they just scream city chic. This beautiful bride had the brilliant idea of getting a short dress by Fendi knowing they would be running around the city for photos. When you plan wedding dress options, always consider your location and comfort, no matter what vision you initially started with.
Here are a few quick tips when planning monochromatic bridal attire:
- Consider a short reception dress for easier mobility during city photo sessions.
- Pair a tailored tuxedo with crisp white silk accents.
- Coordinate matching accessories like sleek black umbrellas for unexpected weather.
