Elegance, power, individuality, rebellion… black is a chameleon when it comes to evoking different emotions or attitudes which makes it a great ally when it comes to event décor. It serves as a clean slay as it is easily combined with a wide range of elements and color palettes according to the narrative you wish to portrait.
A great use of black is as a backdrop for colorful elements meant to catch the eyes of the attendees. The dark creates a powerful contrast, perfect to highlight branding features, images, or even food and beverages that are central to the theme of the event. The aesthetics of these elements will set the tone and the black will accentuate it making for a remarkable affair. Or vice versa, in a room filled with bold and over-the-top colors, a black element is quickly distinguished.
Black and white is probably the most iconic, timeless and widely use combination there is. From old photographs and films to modern design, these two colors survive the past of time and are effortlessly elegant and clean. Nowadays, technology brands are the greatest fans of this combination as it correlates with the neat, effective and smart personality they want their products to depict. They tend to use metallic and glass items to further this sentiment. Nonetheless, the same combination can be used to evoke the past in a classic occasion inspired by the style of previous times. In these cases, a great touch of color can come from red details that are aligned with the aesthetics but add an element of surprise to it.
There is no better color than black for high-end affairs. It inherently suggest a feeling of elegance and gracefulness, which is only accentuated it by the use of silver and/or gold. Whether it appears on flower arrangements, ornaments o small details in the décor, metallic tones provide an extra touch of sophistication.
