BRIDAL 2017
Like in all aspects of wedding planning, stationary
trends come and go. You can touch on the current ones if
you like and still have timeless and beautiful invitations.
Designers are noting that the pantone color of the
year–green–is making its way in as foliage and leaves
lend themselves so naturally to many styles of weddings.
Simple greenery embellishing the card’s border, formal
gold-tipped celadon garland, or rustic and whimsical
illustrations all can work for the most formal occasion
right on down to a backyard celebration. Natural and
organic elements continue to dominate for affairs that
are designed around a beautiful outdoor setting and
custom monograms are coming on strong to carry a look
all the way through to cocktail napkins, chair covers,
cake embellishments–you name it. What a talented and
experienced wedding paper designer can really bring to
the table is a breadth of knowledge about the many small
details that impact a perfect presentation. Luxury card
stock, gold foil envelope liners, hand lettered calligraphy,
and seasonal color combinations are just a few elements
to consider. And once the wedding invitation is designed
and proofed, you can move on to any other paper pieces
you would like to include in your wedding stationary
suite. Save the dates are popular and do not have to match
the ceremony invitation. This is a great place to let your
guests enjoy your personal story and to have some fun
with the design. Your invitation designer can help you
with menu cards, programs, guest gift bags and table
numbers – the sky is the limit. And above all else, order
your thank you notes at the same time. You will surely
need them!
