There's nothing more classic for a city wedding than a monochromatic theme running throughout. The sharp black suits, the fitted Enzoani gown, the chic little black bridesmaids dresses, this city wedding from fine art film photographer Adam Barnes Photography is full of cost effective monochrome wedding ideas. The injections of purple and navy keep it from being flat and the modern hairpiece and birdcage veil make it a trendy style that brides will find inspiration from for years to come.

From Adam: " Michelle and Eli's luxe black-and-white Washington, DC wedding was as joyful as it was glamorous! This couple infused sophistication with romance - from Michelle's stylish birdcage veil and Eli's crisp black suit to the delicate coloured poms softening the stately ballroom reception, the day was a handsome celebration of big city love."
