lol.. I guess you're making sense there, I'm confusing things. Sorry about that.
I have no theme... just colors and candlelight. Black and white specifically, then I'll add hydrangeas. I'm trying to decide if I want to do a black and white wedding. I'm not worried about whatever the accent colors are yet, I just want to see how the black and white looks. Specifically in a reception location.

Black and White, Ebony & Ivory, sounds like a piano to me. This might be kind of silly but what about having a "Piano" theme? If you don't have any of your stationary picked out it; maybe add a "Baby Grand", rent one for your reception, have little piano favors or place card holders. You might even be able to do something (very cheaply) with old sheet music rolled up and tied with ribbon for centerpieces and add a single candleabra for a dramatic effect. Maybe you could add a bubble machine just for fun, especially if you are planning on having any "little ones" at your reception.

I actually just read in The Knot magazine today that 32 percent of brides are using colors as their "theme". I have the Florida edition and there is a great article in there all about black & white themed weddings. You could check www.theknot.com/florida to see if they have an online article on it.

Thank you :)
For the sheet music you might want to check out garage sales; when we cleaned out my mother-in-laws house we sold a foot high stack for a dollar!
Also, you might want to check out toy stores, you might be able to find some decent looking toy instruments. If you don't want to have candleabras at each table you could use a different instrument and have "The Violin Table" or "The Flute Table" etc. which might make your seating chart a little more fun. If you have a musical family, you might even find a few unused instruments collecting dust that you could borrow and use real instruments instead of the ****. Add a few pink roses or silk rose petals and you have a very inexpensive centerpiece!

You might try "Black and white wedding themes" or even specify things such as flowers, pictures and even carpeting
