2020 hasn’t been kind to happy couples hoping to tie the knot this year, with the pandemic calling a halt to many ceremonies around the world. But in England, regulations are gradually being eased and weddings can now take place again, with a limited number of guests.
If you’ve had to put your wedding off until next year, this just means you have even more time to get even the finest of details down to perfection. If you’re mulling over your wedding stationery designs at the moment and are stuck for inspiration, looking to see what has been proving popular over the last few months could give you a few ideas.
What about going for a botanical theme? Luscious greenery and foliage have been big news for a while now and there’s no denying that they create a lovely atmosphere at a wedding.
Think quite simplistically when it comes to the design and perhaps choose fresh natural colours like greens and whites… perfect if you’ve had to put your wedding off until spring next year. Strip the style back and go for some beautiful contemporary calligraphy to complete the look.
Another key trend is sustainability and many couples are now trying to be as green as possible with their weddings, covering everything from the dress and suits to food, venue and entertainment.
You could extend this further to your choice of wedding stationery, using paper with wildflower seeds embedded so that people can plant their invitations in their gardens after your wedding.
Another lovely idea for wedding invitations and other stationery you might need could be illustrations. Hand-drawn cards and so on have been proving very popular of late and there are some very talented artists out there.
And don’t forget that this means you can have custom designs created to suit your wedding perfectly, helping you to set a certain tone and theme.
When it comes to choosing the paper for your invitations and save the date cards, remember that the weight and thickness can make a real difference to the look and feel of your stationery.
Paper comes in all sorts of different styles, from cardstock and vellum to cotton and linen. For weddings, heavier papers are the more popular choice and you might want to steer clear of lightweight, glossy paper if you want a luxurious feel.
One top tip is to think about the style and aesthetics of your wedding itself and try to recreate this on your invitations. Remember that this is the very first indication that your guess will have as to the kind of wedding you’re throwing, so it’s certainly worth giving it a bit of thought.
