Get inspired by this elegant monochrome military wedding, complete with ceremonial uniforms, chic black-and-white details, heartfelt personal touches, and unforgettable first dances.
I envisioned a wedding that felt timeless, classic, and elegant—something I could look back on in 50 years and still find beautifully refined. Since I’ve never been drawn to bold colours, I knew a monochrome palette was the perfect choice. Its clean, sophisticated look created exactly the atmosphere I wanted.
My advice to other couples would be to be intentional about whose opinions you take on board—choose people who truly have your best interests at heart. At the end of the day, it’s your wedding, and it should reflect what feels right for you. Try not to compare your plans to anyone else’s; it’s easy to get caught up in the highlight reels on social media, but when the day arrives, the only thing that truly matters is the two of you.
