Inspiration: Leopard print wedding

My own opinion on animal prints? They can be tacky and they can be tasteful. If you're thinking of including animal prints in your wedding, think more subtle, less Snooki. Here are some ideas for ways to incorporate animal prints. Don't choose everything; a few details certainly be noticed, while too many is overkill.

Other ways to incorporate subtle animal print:

• the cake/cupcakes
• linens, ie: leopard print napkins with gold napkin rings
• groomsmen: boutonnieres, socks, even shoes!
• hairpiece
  
• Are you a fan of animal prints? Would you subtly include them in your wedding, or would you go all out?

Bouquets

Perhaps it is because they're delicate cala lilies, but the all black in this bouquet does not seem at all dark

The anemone flower is a popular choice because of it's natural, dark centre

I love the entirely black wrap (so that no green is showing from the stems); this bouquet is made up of inexpensive carnations
