Embrace Vintage Noir with our Moody Burgundy & Black Wedding Color Collection

Your wedding theme is expressed mainly through colour palettes, so picking a colour scheme with many rich, vibrant hues will stand out. Warm burgundy and stylish black combine in our newest colour collection's deep, dark romanticism to evoke memories of classic movies and Hollywood glitz.

Let's stroll along the bridal red carpet and explore the possibilities of a moody, black-and-red wedding theme full of retro elegance that features you, your partner, and your imaginative vision.

How do you style a black and burgundy wedding theme?

Finding a style you adore and adding colour, texture, and well-thought-out touches will make your dream wedding memorable. If your favourite colour scheme is black and burgundy, consider what emotions the shades arouse and how you want them to be perceived first.

Burgundy and black combine beautifully; they're sad, rich, and romantic. Consider utilizing items that allude to those aspects, such as velvet and lace textiles and elaborate serving pieces made of old brass and crystal. To showcase your décor and provide an appealing backdrop for your wedding day, counterbalance the darkness with plenty of ambient lights.

What flowers go with a burgundy and black wedding theme?

Drama is appropriate for a dark and ominous colour scheme. A sophisticated and opulent ambience is created by utilizing a variety of flowers and decorations in the black and burgundy colour scheme, from bridal bouquets to table settings.

Deeply coloured roses, dahlias, tree peonies, and hydrangeas are excellent focus points for a wedding bouquet. Anthurium and orchids add movement and shape to the arrangement. Visual depth and attractiveness are added by accentuating with branches, berries, and structural foliage.

What colours go with burgundy?

When paired, black and burgundy produce a seductive colour scheme that exudes a dark, retro noir elegance. Both hues stand out on their own.

There are numerous ways to style burgundy for your wedding, even though we adore the moody, black and burgundy wedding flower combo. Burgundy may evoke different emotions and work for different seasons depending on where on the colour wheel you pair it with. Adding black to the mix adds still another level of complexity. Here are a handful of our other preferred burgundy wedding companions:

• Burgundy & Navy: A striking flash of colour is added to an autumnal wedding theme by contrasting the burgundy red tones with a cool navy blue.
• Burgundy & Dusty Rose: Combining burgundy with the softer dusty rose creates a timeless and romantic colour palette that looks great all year. There are plenty of complementary red and pink tones.
• Burgundy & Red: True red is a powerful, eye-catching hue that gives winter wedding colours—like those in our Christmas Red and Sparkle collection—depth when paired with a deeper burgundy.

Step Inside Your Moody Burgundy & Black Industrial Wedding

You've located the ideal location to realize your wedding vision: a sizable industrial area inside a former factory transformed into a multi-use arts venue. The structure has floor-to-ceiling brick walls, oversized windows, and fascinating historical aspects. Still, the room is empty, leaving you free to design the layout and add finishing touches to make your day unique.

You two have a similar vintage style that draws inspiration from the luxury of classic Hollywood splendour. Your affection for vintage movies brought you together, even though your acquaintances would occasionally refer to you as "Bogie and Bacall"—from Casablanca to Citizen Kane. Your nostalgic and cinematic preferences are evident in every aspect of the event design, which is brought together by the moody winter wedding hues.

Burgundy and black wedding decorations for the ceremony

During your first scene, the vow exchange, you declare an unwavering commitment that will last long after the credits have rolled, unlike your favourite Hollywood love stories, which typically conclude with a white dress and a kiss.

Every time the ancient freight elevator door opens, guests exclaim in surprise. You and your future spouse slip into a private hallway to exchange letters while everyone greets and mingles on your wedding day. Before saying your vows in front of a crowd, you desired a quiet moment to express your innermost thoughts.

Welcome guests with black and burgundy signage

A welcome sign with black and burgundy flowers greets guests, setting the mood for the glitzy and gloomy nighttime theme. The classy black sign with gold text is displayed on a stylish vintage wood easel, and the ambience is further enhanced by the black pillar candles arranged around the base.

Aisle decor dressed in moody winter wedding colours

Black seats are framed by enormous free-standing floral arrangements in black and burgundy and even more black pillar candles, all in line with the dramatic romance of the bridal arch. With your love waiting under the bridal arch, you and your attendants begin the procession down the aisle, appreciating the day's beauty and preparing to start the next chapter of your life.

Romantic burgundy and black wedding arch

The bridal arch is draped and embellished with dramatic dark tones, such as black and burgundy cloth and flowers, and placed against the industrial brick walls' historic patina. This creates an intimate and romantic atmosphere with towering ceilings inside the open floor plan.

With a final post-kiss smile, you hold hands and confidently stroll past the rows of happy family and friends covered in rose petals in burgundy and black, cheering for your future together.

The Reception: Lights, camera, celebrate!

The second half of your wedding is about the celebration, complete with plenty of retro sparkle and glamour. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are served to your guests as you head outdoors for portraits in the courtyard. The ceremony gives way to the reception with the sounds of a jazz band.

Once the photos are finished, you return to the celebration to the sound of the band playing "Fly Me to the Moon," since an old Hollywood wedding wouldn't be the same without a little Frank Sinatra. The remainder of the evening will be spent dancing, eating, and making priceless memories.

A vintage noir escort table

With escort cards featuring brass skeleton keys that match the wedding theme, you made finding guests' seats quick, simple, and enjoyable. To spruce up the table, you used a floral hoop wreath in shades of burgundy and black. Hanging tea lights created a soft glow that reflected off the gleaming antique keys.

Ambient lighting illuminates the moody decor.

Soft, strategically placed lighting gives the typically vast warehouse-style room a feeling of location. Glistening chandeliers create a belle epoque feel, while low-hanging string lights, candles, and ancient kerosene lanterns decorated with burgundy and black flowers add mystery and cosiness.

With a crystal chandelier and rows of tightly spaced Edison bulb string lights, the dance floor doubles down on shimmering lights, providing a classic yet nostalgic party atmosphere perfect for slow dancing the night away.

Burgundy and black reception table centrepieces

You've continued the burgundy and black scheme with a rich, ominous vibe for your long rectangular tables. The length of the table is dotted with brass vases of different heights, each loaded with greenery and flowers in shades of burgundy and black to match the floral arrangements for the ceremony. Matching vintage brass candlesticks holding black tapered candles create an enchanted dining and conversation area.

Romantic sweetheart table decor

While the celebration goes on around you, you and your spouse take some time to enjoy your first meal together at the sweetheart table. The luxurious table covering's black lace and crimson velvet are accentuated by a sprawling wedding garland of black and burgundy blooms, and flickering black tapered candles heighten the romanticism as you steal kisses in between bites.

A menu fit for Hollywood royalty

You enjoy a classic plated supper presented on black onyx china with sparkling golden silverware, all in keeping with the blend of old and new. You add some fresh Hollywood flair to formal, old-fashioned cuisine by preparing California-style fusion meals with seasonal and local products.

Toasting the happy couple

You've designed a signature drink menu featuring tried-and-true classic cocktails like the Sidecar, Negroni, and French 75, perfect for a lighthearted movie twist at the bar. Though it's a homage to history and a dash of frothy old Hollywood elegance, the centrepiece of the bar area is a sparkling champagne tower of vintage coupe glasses encircled by burgundy and black rose petals.

Your vintage noir bridal flowers

Combining your gown, flowers, and accessories creates a complete bridal style that taps into the classic vintage beauty of your wedding theme. Here's how you and your bridal party will interpret the chic look and come up with a coordinated flower colour scheme:

Romantic burgundy and black bridal bouquet

You selected a head-turning attire for your special day in typical starlet fashion. Your bridal gown is feminine, with a timeless shape and exquisite detailing reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. A gorgeous black diamond engagement ring and a matching eternity wedding band are on your hand.

For your floral arrangements, you went for a big free-form bridal bouquet in dark burgundy and black. Rich burgundy dahlias, creamy white tree peonies, and a scattering of other foliage secured with black tulle accentuate the inky black silk roses. The arrangement is elegant, romantic, and structured.

Moody wedding flowers for your bridesmaids

You asked your girls to wear a black gown of their choice since you wanted them to show off their individuality while yet being visually united. The black gowns, which range in design from dazzling wraps to strapless lace, are harmonious despite their differences. In burgundy and black, they carry slightly smaller versions of your more ornate floral bundle, called bridesmaid bouquets.

Dapper details for the gentlemen

You may be trendy and up-to-date at the same time, even if your style is old. The groom and his men are dressed in a stylish outfit that would look good in any decade, combining old and new.

Rather than opting for the conventional pinned boutonnièrere, the groom highlights his stylish all-black attire with a dramatic ornate flowery pocket square. It has a brass charm indicating he has the key to your heart, and it has a black velvet rose with burgundy embellishments.

Traditional boutonnieres for the guys, using burgundy roses, accent berries, and greenery, draw attention to the groom's pocket square flowers.

Unique flowers for family members

You also wanted to ensure your parents were given extra attention on your wedding day. You selected tasteful shoulder corsages with berries, flowers, and textural accents for your mothers. With black lace accents and a central burgundy hydrangea flower, your fathers proudly wear their boutonnieres.

A sprinkling of burgundy and black rose petals

Black and burgundy rose petals give an extra sense of enchanted romanticism to your wedding décor. They also serve as a jubilant explosion as you walk down the wedding aisle and add a last touch of texture and colour to tables.
