Matthew + Makayla | Ivy Black

When modern elegance meets romantic floral design, the result is nothing short of stunning—and this chic wedding at Ivy Black, a striking modern venue in Duluth, Minnesota, was the perfect example. With a sleek black-and-white palette, clean architectural details, and an abundance of lush white wedding flowers, the day felt elevated, timeless, and effortlessly stylish.

A Sophisticated Ceremony in a Modern Wedding Venue

Set inside Ivy Black’s beautifully designed modern space—featuring crisp white walls, black flooring, industrial light fixtures, and wooden beam accents—the ceremony design was both structured and romantic.

During the ceremony, two tall black floral stands framed the couple, asymmetrically designed with white florals including baby's breath, roses, and delphinium. Lush white aisle arrangements lined the walkway, creating a dramatic entrance without a single stem of greenery in sight. The entire space felt fresh, modern, and elegant.

All-Black Attire Meets All-White Florals

This wedding embraced contrast in the most elegant way: the bridal party, including bridesmaids and groomsmen, wore all-black attire, while the bride stood out in classic white. Even guests were asked to wear black, further highlighting the refined color palette and enhancing the monochromatic floral vision.

The bride carried a full, sculptural bouquet of all white flowers of assorted textures including white roses, babysbreath, and delphinium, with bridesmaids holding coordinated babysbreath bouquets. The absence of greenery allowed the flowers to shine in their purest form—modern, clean, and romantic.

Ceremony Florals Reimagined for Reception

Following the ceremony, the space transformed into a sleek black-and-white wedding reception. The floral elements from the ceremony backdrop and aisle were thoughtfully repurposed into reception table arrangements and floor installations, offering a seamless and sustainable design flow throughout the evening.

Tables were dressed in simple, elegant fashion with white bud vases, low profile rose and babysbreath flowers intermixed with tall, babysbreath stands, assorted candles, and minimalistic decor that allowed the florals to take center stage without feeling overdone. The result was a truly modern floral aesthetic—clean, curated, and timeless.
