Default Choosing a frame.

Purely as a matter of interest:
When making prints; do people here, make the print and then think about the mount, frame and type of glass as an integral part of the overall presentation (colour of mat, frame etc; for each print) or have a set number of standard sizes and buy framing in bulk?
The reason I ask is that I have watched my wife (a water colour artist) take some time matching the mount board and frame for each picture. Because as she rightly says, framing can kill a print if not done well.
Now I see a lot of exhibitions where B&W gets presented in what seems the standard black frame with varied off white mounts; regardless of them being toned or not.
Very seldom if ever, do I see this subject mentioned in photographic books; as if one should know or that it is some form of black art (excuse the pun).


David.
