clear vase/bowl with black beads/rocks in the bottom

use thick black satin ribbon to wrap around the vase.

purchase cool graphic black/white 12×12 paper from a scrabook store and use as a base for the arrangement

black table runners.

i would stay away from black in the actual floral part of the centerpiece if possible.

good luck!

The colors for my wedding were hot pink, black, and a little white.

For the center pieces on our headtable a lady we knew made a floral arrangement with pink and white flowers (mostly pink)… in a hot pink rectangular basket. She put a black ribbon around it, with a bow in the front, It was really cute.

Just an idea.

Also, if you search for "black and pink wedding" on google, you’ll find lots! I did it all the time for ideas

EDIT: I don’t know if you would want to or not, but with halloween just around the corner you should be able to find black flowers. We also bought some black roses and cut all the pedals off and sprinkled them around the tables that had pink table covers… and did the opposite, pink on black table covers

EDIT…agian: You could also get wine glasses, or glasses of some sort. Put black sand in them (which you can buy at any hobby or craft store) and put pink candles in them, or silk flowers in it

You could use black flowers. Some of the more lovely ones in my opinion are tulips, dahlias, and calla lilies. Other than that. Black stick pin crystals would be great. Also black beaded flowers. I tend to stay away from black ribbon because the last pink and black wedding I went to had pink and white flowers wrapped in black ribbon and it looked a bit funerally. If you are doing centerpeices, I highly reccomend black sand.

go to a craft store or a place that sells silk flowers and see if they have black fluffy things, feathers, eucalyptus, decorative twiggy sticks, etc

There are a number of plants and ferns that have black foliage, so you could include that.

You could also include curly willow or reeds died black to give the arrangments height.

Some black ribbons, (loop some ribbon and wire some florist’s wire to it to create a "stem") can be used in the same way as you would use flowers, or you could just add a ribbon bow and trailers to the outside of the vase.

A black vase or box to stand the arrangement in.

Some black pollished pebbles scattered round the base of the vase, either on their own or with some pink rose petals mixed with them takes the theme down onto the table and can look very classy.

How about you put the pink flowers into a black vase?

Do you have control over the linens? If so then you can do black linens with the pink flowers on top.

Or you can buy black leaf spray stems and place them in your floral arrangement.

Here are some picture ideas:

You could use a clear vase with some shiny black stones at the bottom, or I’ve seen these inserts that are glittery sticks you could make them with black glittery spray paint (essentially they are smooth or curled spray painted sticks that can be adjusted to the size of your arrangment) and they just add some nice colour and sparkle.
Another option is some ribbon wrapped around the stems of the arrangement or the vase/holder of the arrangment.
Pins with jewels inserted into the center of the flower.

Good Luck!

You can bunch the flowers with some matching pink tulle and wrap shiney satin black ribbon around it. Or you could look for black table favors, they make all kinds of cute things – just google
"wedding favors" and search by color.
