Unique Wedding Invitations
Whether you are planning a traditional or contemporary wedding , you want a unique invitation that will give your guests a glimpse of the style of the upcoming event. Choose from a range of designer wedding stationery that will match the unique style of your wedding.
Having unique wedding invitations made
Unique wedding invitations are the ideal way to set your invite apart from other generic invitations that are available. One of the advantages of having tailor made invites is that it is then possible to coordinate the wedding cards with any other stationery used on the day. With customised wedding invitations, you are also able to tie the style, colour and theme of the invites in with the ideas you have planned for the day.
The traditional white, church wedding is only one option available these days. If you are planning to say 'I do' on your favourite beach, for example, then you might want something more modern and informal than a traditional embossed ivory card. If you are going for the traditional white wedding, then you may want to personalise the invite with a special poem or picture that is important to you and your partner.
If you are going to have your wedding invitations custom made, whether by yourself, or by a professional, then there are some basics you should consider in order to get the ball rolling.
Formal or informal - This is one of the first things to think about. If you are planning a very simple wedding or a wedding in an informal setting, then you might want to set the tone with a less formal invitation for the day. If you're planning a very traditional wedding, then the more formal wording and classically styled invitation may suit.
Wedding invite colours - If you want to select a bold colour that makes a statement, then that is perfectly acceptable nowadays. You'll find there are many bright invitations with an assortment of patterns around. If you want to stick with a more traditional colour, but you also want something unique, then there are many different options for achieving a customised look. Paper filigree, where a pattern is cut from the wedding card, is one popular choice with a more traditional colour. The decor and colours you have selected for the day can be a good source of inspiration for the colours you choose.
Photos - One trend for invitations is to incorporate a small image of the couple into the wedding card. If you have a good portrait or favourite photo, you might want to include this in the invite to make it more personal.
Adornment - There are a number of options for adorning your wedding cards. Adornments add that something special to the card and ensure you have truly unique wedding invitations. Options include bows tied around the finished invite, small flowers, diamantes, ribbon, organza or layered finishes.
Poems - Including a significant poem or favourite quotation is another way to make your wedding invites more unique. You can include a quote from a favourite song, poem or well known saying. If there is something that has great significance for you and your partner, then this can be incorporated into your custom made invites.
There are a number of options for having your wedding invitations custom made. You might want to design and make your own invites. You may get someone to help you to design invitations that you then make yourself or you may go to a professional to have unique wedding invitations prepared for you. There are a great many options available, so it can be helpful to reflect upon the style, decor and theme of your wedding day in order to plan the perfect invite. A beautifully designed and crafted invitation is a lovely keepsake for this special day. |
