Wedding invitations are an essential if not one of the most important components when planning a wedding. A wedding invite helps you to know how many of the people you invite turn up to your special day, it’s a way to get the word out there and is a great accessory to keep long after the event to look back on your special day.
As no two weddings are the same, just like that no two wedding invites are the same. There are so many design trends when it comes to wedding invitations that it can be hard to choose. Given below are some of the popular design trends.
Bold colours: Skip the traditional white or cream when it comes to wedding invites and go for something moody and bold. It could be a dark purple, royal blue or fiery red. It’s your day so go wild and have fun with it. A dark hued invite would ideally suit a winter or fall wedding. We love the variety of colours available on Loom Wedding Invites. Not only can you find the perfect bold colour for your wedding invitations, but you can match them by season and style.
Lined envelopes: Envelopes are usually the first thing your guest sees when they get their card so why not be adventurous and go for printed envelopes with relatively simpler cards? The choice is endless with the design possibilities. You could go for printed envelope liners with a single hued wedding invite for a nice contrast. The print you could go for include flowered motifs, skyline shots or even your wedding date.
Graphic and geometric: If you are the quirky and playful type and want that part of yourself reflected on your wedding invites, why not go for something in graphic prints? Think bold colours, squares, triangles and lots of lines and curves. It could give the wedding a fun and cheerful theme and you could even match your clothing and décor with your wedding invites to make it even more fun and quirky. The guests will love the change from the normal white formal weddings.
Golden touch: Gold is not only reserved for décor, jewellery and clothing. It can be a great addition to your wedding invites for a touch of luxury. You could include it by making it part of the lining, lettering or even the paper itself could be printed in gold leaf.
Mix and match: It’s not compulsory to have a card that matches the envelope or vice versa. Think out of the box for ideas and come up with bold shades and prints for your special day. If the envelope is a bright yellow, go for invites with a black and white print for a nice contrast. These novelty invitations would be great keepsakes to remember your wedding by.
Circle and oval: Although traditionally wedding invites are rectangular or square, be a little different and get them in circles or ovals for a bit of fun and quirk. You might even save a bit if the cards are printed round or oval as they tend to be smaller than rectangles.
So if you have a wedding coming up or know someone who’s getting married, why not incorporate one of the above trends into their wedding invites and make their event a grand success. A wedding invite is just not some piece of decorative cardboard, it’s an important piece of your special day so ensure you take the time to really think about the design and plan the overall look.
