The Traditional Bride
Think classic script and serif fonts, satin bows, rich ivory cardstock and a pop of sweet pink.
Welcome guests to a seaside wedding with found seashells or starfish, relaxed script fonts and calming colors like pool blue and sandy brown.
Incorporate floral images – either illustrations or photographs – in a garden-inspired palette: lilac or lavender blues and purples, rose reds and pinks.
Add sparkle with metallics, keep it festive with candy-cane red or evoke a rustic winter wonderland with forest green. Just be sure to keep the Christmas elements subtle to maintain sophistication and to avoid your wedding invitation looking like a holiday party invite.
Think high-contrast color duos, lowercase lettering and atypical formatting, like block paragraphs.
For a relaxed backyard wedding in spring or summer, consider bright colors, pretty patterns and interesting fibers. Sunshine yellow, gingham and lace dress up this happy invitation.
How are you using your wedding location or season to inspire your stationery?
Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
