Hi
Congrats
I think for the ceremony for flowers i think that you shoud use all white flowers maybe white roses and have the brides maid the same just smaller them wearing nice black dresses and to carry the theme over to you, you should wrap your flowers with black ribbion where you hold it.
Use white tablecloths, black napkins, black dishes... or reverse this if possible and if it isn't too expensive (black tablecloth, white napkins, white plates). For the napkins, have your names and wedding date printed in the opposite color. Accent the settings with a colored foil-wrapped chocolate rose, a rose candle across the plates, or use colored napkin rings (for cloth napkins).
On tables, select white flower for arrangements in black ceramic vases. Tie an accent colored ribbon around the neck of the vase for emphasis. Another table centerpiece idea would be to use black candlesticks or candelabras with white taper candles.
Combine black "Queen of Night" tulips with white tulips.
White orchids are always beautiful.
White roses and black roses.
Other white flowers: Gladiolus, Lilacs, Carnations, Gardenia, Stephanotis, Calla Lily, Apple Blossom, Magnolia, Narcissus, Aster, White Lilies.
i think for the tables have ivory linen over chairs with black ribbion
well i've given you heaps hahaha sorry but hope it helps also just replace the white i've written for ivory.

Answer
Since it is an outdoor wedding with black and white theme, you can include some purple/lilac ( flowers, paper plates, paper cups, paper towels) as it goes very well with white/black and the green leaves/lawn.
You need to add some pastel color for the black and white to stand out.
You can line the tables with crisp white paper that is available at walmart/target/office depot. It is inexpensive/clean.
Don't go overboard though... add just a hint here and there. For example, white roses with the tips tinted red and nestled in a black vase sitting on a table covered in a white tablecloth. Use black napkins secured with white napkin rings and a hint of some other color. These are simple accents that you could try which won't overpower the black and white theme.
Bridal Attire For The Entire Wedding Party
Keep your wedding attire simple. A black & white wedding doesn't go well with ruffles and frills. For the bride, dress in a sleek straight cut white gown. Some raised embroidered details near the hem would look lovely. Add a long chiffon scarf draped around the front of the neck, over the shoulders and hanging down the back of the dress.
Have your bridesmaid's dress in black. Here is a good place to add that accent color if you wish. On the bridesmaid's outfits add a colored chiffon accent scarf or have them carry a single, accent colored flower.
The groom and groomsmen should dress in black tuxedos with white shirts. Again, you can incorporate an accent color here on the cummerbunds. Very smart!
Decorations & Favors For A Black & White Wedding Theme
Decorating your ceremony and wedding reception locations should be a snap. Remember to keep it simple and uncluttered.
* For pew markers choose large white bows with a black center knot. Want an accent color? Attach a small silk flower in center of knot in your color choice.
* Use black and white balloons for arches and balloon bouquets. Tie black balloons with white ribbon, white balloons with black ribbon.
* On tables, select white flower for arrangements in black ceramic vases. Tie an accent colored ribbon around the neck of the vase for emphasis. Another table centerpiece idea would be to use black candlesticks or candelabras with white taper candles.
* Light up the tables with black and white floating candles in a clear bowl. Alternatively, use black candles in a white bowl and vice versa. You could also fill a clear, wide vase or jar with black and white marbles/beads, etc. and set a white or black candle inside. Alternate the candle colors on different tables.
* Wedding favors could consist of white wedding cake bubbles, personalized mint tins, almonds or chocolates placed in black & white dress and tuxedo favor boxes, or perhaps candies or nuts nestled in miniature black top hats.
Flowers, Arrangements and Bridal Bouquets
Keep in mind, a single flower can often make more of an elegant statement than an overflowing bouquet, especially with a black & white wedding theme. White roses and black roses. Other white flowers: Gladiolus, Lilacs, Carnations, Gardenia, Stephanotis, Calla Lily, Apple Blossom, Magnolia, Narcissus, Aster, White Lilies.
Refreshments
Alcohol wise...Black Russians and White Russians, of course!
