Fashion Help!
Me and My Fiance have decided on a black and white wedding. But i'd like to add a little more to it.
he says NO PINK. which is fine, we're getting married in january and its not really the best month for pink.
but i still want something to wow the guest. his ex best friend's wife used Zebra print accessories, which for me didn't really go with the black and red. To me, it would have looked better with just black and white. but now that she's done it, it would seem kind of funny for me to use it, right? (note: i love zebra print, and have for a long time. my entire room is zebra print.)
does anyone out there have any ideas for that extra "wow"?

If you like the zebra print use it, it's your wedding. I would just try to incorporate it in your own way.
Check out these links. They might give you some different ideas:

I guess I'm a little more traditional in this respect because I think zebra print sounds odd for a wedding (JMO). It seems like one of those ideas where you'd look back at your pictures in 20 years and say, "What the heck was I thinking?" lol. I prefer prints and patterns that are more classic like damask.
As the pp said, silver would add a nice touch or champagne. You could also use a dark plum color or a light slate blue (I've seen some really pretty bridesmaid dresses in this color).
