A Baltimore wedding that put a modern spin on black and white

Share

Kelsey and Thomas spent the first few years of their relationship dating long-distance. After years of being separated by nearly 500 miles, Thomas moved back to Baltimore and the couple was engaged privately at home before dining at Kelsey’s favorite local restaurant to celebrate. Their Baltimore wedding embraced a crisp black-and-white color palette with a modern edge and elegant simplicity. Planned with the help of Lauren Corrigan Events and hosted at the Accelerator Space, the venue offered a modern industrial setting complete with walls of iron grid windows and beautiful skylights, all perfectly captured by L. Hewitt Photography.

The bridesmaids wore mix and match styles and patterns in emerald green and black to complement the black and white theme.  The bridesmaid bouquets by Violet Floral Designs were smaller version of the bride’s gorgeous, all-white baby’s breath and orchid bouquet.

Black and white reception design

The black and white color palette came to life as long ivory curtains separated the dining space from the all-black bar.  The tablescapes included mini bud vases courtesy of Violet Floral Designs, which made for smaller, unique arrangements with soft white blooms.

A big hit with guests was the martini bar, which served Kelsey’s favorite drink late into the night.
