Seeing Stripes: Black and White Bridal Shower Inspiration

Having a theme can really make planning a shower easier. It provides parameters for decorations and aesthetics so that you aren't left randomly picking pretty things that might not look too pretty together. Themes can be as specific or general as you want, and it doesn't have to be kitschy like "under the sea," unless that's your thing.

Here's some inspiration for a black-and-white-striped theme. I particularly like this idea because you can totally make it your own, Paula Abdul style. Black and white matches everything. I'm all about the gold touches and pops of pink and purple, but you could literally do any accent color you like and it'll still look polished. You could even go a little nautical just by changing the black to navy, and adding an anchor here and there. Easy peasy!
