Two Colors, One Winter Date: The Black-and-White Wedding at The Willard

A winter wedding at The Willard InterContinental was planned around a strict palette of black and white. For a bride choosing a cold-weather date, a two-tone scheme makes several choices at once: the dress, the linens, the florals and what guests should wear. The coverage runs in the order a planner would work through the day: getting ready, then bridal portraits, then flat lays of the details. That is also a good way to check whether a palette holds up, from the morning's first frame to the smallest object on the table.
