Damask Wedding
Hot Trends Can be Classic, Lasting Looks in Wedding Invitations
Trends will tend to come and go and styles change. Picking a wedding invitation that is both timely and timeless can be a challenge. You want to make sure you’re capturing your signature look. And you want don’t want to be date yourself with a flash-in-the-pan trend. Here are a few details that will make your invitations hip and ageless.
Custom Postage Stamps
Some styles may come and go, but this is one trend that is here to stay. A custom picture of you and your fiancé on a postage stamp will never go out of style. The Postal Service makes creating your own postage stamp quick and easy. Go to usps.com, upload your photo and you’re done, it’s that easy. Share your engagement photos or your favorite photo together on a real postage stamp. Don’t forget to affix one to your reply card and you’ll be happy to see it come back to you.
Another great advantage of creating your own stamps is being able to add your own message. You can add up to 20 characters to make a personalized message. This is all you need to send a special message to your guests or announce your wedding date.
Vintage patterns and unusual colors
Long gone are the days of plain white invitations. Many modern brides are looking for a way to make their wedding invitation stand out and show off their own personal style. Bold patterns like damask, toile and floral (think: cherry blossoms) are very in-vogue. Any of these patterns will add a chic style and understated grace to your invitation. If you’re leery about choosing a bold look, consider a translucent pattern and print your invitation over that. Or a velum over-lay with a transparent pattern adds just a smidge of élan. There are many places within the invitation to take make a brave new move and add some flair.
Another great trend includes a splash of big, bright, colors. Choosing a bold hue as an accent color on your invitation adds impact. Pair with a vintage pattern and you’ve made a classic and chic look for a unique wedding invitation. A vintage pattern and a bold accent color can be beautiful and understated.
Eco-friendly touches
Just about everyone in every industry is turning a ‘green’ eye to their products and processes. You can join the fight to save the environment with your wedding invitation. Make sure you pick post consumer or recycled materials for your invitations. You can also keep your invitations simple and save on paper wherever possible.
Save the paper on your reply cards, hotel accommodations and local info by putting up a paper-free wedding website. Not only will you reduce the amount of paper you use, but your guests will have unlimited access to all the information they need.
Monograms
Monograms are making a big comeback. Stylish couples are combining initials to make a signature look that is both unique and classic. While this is a new trend, your new monogram will never go out of style. A monogram is also a subtle and romantic way to introduce yourselves as a newly married couple.
This look can be right at home even beyond your wedding invitations. Use your monogram for a handsome moniker on your reply cards, thank-you notes and everyday stationery.
