If you remember your mother’s warnings about black and white stripes and how they can quickly close in on you, especially when they’re used on a large scale, well now is the time to take her warnings and completely disregard them. That’s right! Black and white stripes are becoming more and more popular for weddings, and we’re going to show you how amazing they can look when done correctly.
1. On a Wedding Cake
Black and white stripes on a wedding cake give it a chic, glamorous look that is amazing when paired with pink, blush or sunset colors. It even goes well with shades of blue, purple and sage. We love the way this wedding cake combines the whimsical, warm-toned writing with the stark black and white lines.
2. As A Table Covering
If you were thinking as a table runner for a rectangular table, think again. We absolutely adore this black and white striped table cover on this round reception table and how it seamlessly works with the napkins and tableware.

Who can’t wear black and white stripes? That rule is out the window because these stripes look amazing on these girls and flatter any figure! The full effect is noticed when these gorgeous bridesmaids are standing next to the bride in this beautiful wedding picture – it’s chic, glamorous and amazing.
