event inspiration {bits of black}

There should always be a little bit of black in a room - it grounds it. The same rule of thumb also holds true for a well designed event. I love the way that black mixes with parchment, pewter and copper in this palette to create a refined and unpretentious look.

Although this palette has a moody feel, black works just as well with more energetic colors.
