For a formal affair, a black and white tablescape with a hint of metallic and jewel tones is always a winner and this bold tablescape from event production team white+white weddings and events shows us how elegant this combination can be.

Teaming up with photographer Jessie Dains, flrosit Bouquet Boutique and event stylists Amini Concepts, Styled Events, Little Gray Station and Magnolia Interiors t he team wanted to create a "mouthwatering display of love, with hot pink and red blooms taking centre stage". Originally designed to be a luncheon setup for a luncheon for your favourite girlfriends, I think it also translates beautifully for a wedding.

A black and white stripe table cloth is topped with clear perspex and adorned with clear charger plates edged with gold dots, white and gold candlesticks line the centre of the table with autumn toned pears, and blooms in shades of deep red, hot pink and deep purple.

Glitter gold edged cocktails finished the table-scape off with a luxurious sparkle.

Marisa Kate Designs created handmade stationery for the look. Each black napkin was tied with a bell and black and white stripe ribbon.

Each guest receives a brownie as a favor.
