Selecting the right flowers to match your dress is a lot like finding the perfect shoes and jewelry. The color of flowers you choose helps complete the look and ties the colors of your event together. White-and-black dresses make a bold yet elegant statement, so you need flowers that continue this sophisticated theme. - You cannot go wrong with white flowers for a black and white dress. White flowers symbolize purity and tradition. There are several white flowers and combinations to choose from that make a stylish bouquet. Calla lilies as a single-flower bouquet or mixed with white roses provide a classy look. A bouquet of white tulips for a spring wedding or event is another solid choice. A mix of white flowers, such as magnolias, white hydrangea and chrysanthemums, would make a lovely arrangement for a fall wedding and provide various options for boutonnieres.
- Red roses are a classic pairing for a black and white dress. Hold a bouquet of red roses tied together with a satin red ribbon. Decorate the buds with tiny red pearls to add a special accent. Another option is to incorporate white flowers with your red rose bouquet. Add white stephanotis, a five petal, flat bloom, to contrast with the roses and affix with white satin ribbon. Poinsettias combined with roses make an appropriate bouquet for a winter event. Other red flowers include tulips, carnations and gerbera daisies all of which can serve as a single-flower bouquet or as an assortment.
- Stargazer lilies mixed with seeded eucalyptus make an ideal bouquet for a black-and-white dress. Stargazer lilies have a unique star-shaped bloom. The bloom is reddish-pink at its base and fades to white at its edges. It has dark foliage that is further enhanced by the addition of seeded eucalyptus, which has round, pale green leaves with lime green seeds attached to delicate branches. Both flowers have aromatic qualities.
