Color Crave

Color your wedding! Gorgeous and totally on trend are blush, blue and gold colored wedding gowns this year. And, Radiant Orchid is Pantone®’s “Color of the Year.”

Being a key design element, your wedding colors are intensely personal and hugely important. Colors set the mood and signify the season—​so go for the hues that make your heart sing. Personalize your Save the Date and Wedding Invitation in any colors you want!

Vintage Romance

Imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery and in 2014, many wedding couples will be looking to Old Hollywood, love songs, and historical venues as sources of inspiration for their vintage look and feel.

Making a nostalgic style statement while telling your modern day love story is an exciting challenge but worth every effort.

Think lavish. Think romantic. Celebrate your vintage glam style with luxuriant color schemes, classic attire, ornate elements and gilded accents—​iconic of the era.

Decorative Patterns

A simple way to keep your wedding stationery looking sharp and contemporary is through a pretty pattern that you can carry across your suite. Vogue patterns for 2014 include bold stripes, playful dots, delicate damasks, as well as tribal, and ombre designs. Stylish and vivid patterns add dimension and bring visual interest to your printed stationery and overall wedding look.

No need to be committed to just one pattern either—​mix it up! Carry your favorite combo across your attire, décor, and stationery items for a fun variation of your wedding style.

Upscaled Rustic

The rustic wedding style is still very strong, and in 2014, countryside chic will take on a new level of elegance and sophistication. We’ll definitely see a rise in verdant florals, classier DIY touches, and woodland venue settings.

Chandeliers, swanky outdoor seating, and cascading greenery are a few of the chosen trimmings for these rustic refined affairs. Set the tone and celebrate your pretty pastoral style on elegant wedding stationery, personalized in your rustic color scheme.

Finishing Touches

Accessories make the outfit—​and complete the suite, too! Super personalizing your wedding—​from the dress hanger and cake topper, to your wedding invitation suite is fashionable and popular! One highly effective way of “dressing up“ your suite is by embellishing it with stylish finishing touches to add color, depth, and personality to your invitations and overall look.

Imagine your Invitation overlaid with sheer Vellum or veiled in a personalized Holder. And a simple wedding envelope will be transformed with a personalized Liner, Labels & Seals.

Super personalized touches will give your suite the debut it deserves.

Graphic Motifs

Using a graphic motif across your wedding immediately brands your look and is a fun expression of your personal style. Do you have a certain look, style or destination you want your guests to identity your wedding with? Express it with a special design motif that you carry across your wedding stationery. What will we see in 2014?

On trend graphic motifs include: gold leaves, laurel wreaths, banners and chalkboard signs, as well as marquee-style monograms.

Lush Florals

Flowers are always on trend—​no surprise there! But wedding florals are always sprouting new looks, and for 2014, botanicals are taking on a newer, more luxuriant look. From oversized and blossomy, to woodland and otherworldly, we’re talking more romantic and showy than ever.

Translate this trend by personalizing your floral-themed stationery to match your wedding colors.

Let those cascading blooms create a graceful, flowing look throughout your stationery suite.

Classic Elegance

We’ll see a resurgence in the classic wedding style this year. Unfussy and embodying a sense of tradition, a classic style has a certain elegance and sophistication to it. From attire to stationery, this is a look that renders beautifully and many couples will be putting their own modern spin on it in 2014.

Filigree and damask patterning, monograms, lace, and elegant flourishes are design elements you’ll see on classic wedding stationery. Personalize yours with simple typography and an understated color scheme for a timeless wedding look.

Dramatic Photo

A gorgeous look for your Save the Date—​for 2014 and beyond!

One sweet trend taking the newly engaged by storm, is using one large engagement photo and overlaying it with opaque text.

With this evocative style trend in mind, try personalizing your Save the Date with an expressive font and just the right photo. If needed, ask your photographer for help in choosing the best photo.

This trendy Save the Date look brings all the attention on the two of you and your wedding date—​making for a bold and impressive wedding announcement.

Bespoke Papers

We love paper ... to see it, touch it, and interact with it!

Matching your wedding style and design with the right paper type is a popular option and a powerful way of engaging guests with the details of your big day! Not only beautiful to see and touch, the right paper is the foundation of your design—​helping to set the tone and solidify your look.

MagnetStreet offers four impressive paper types. Choose the shimmering metallic finish for trendy designs and the distinctly textured for earthy, artistic designs. Photos and bold colors look rich and clear on lightly textured papers, while the smooth matte paper is perfect for all colors, skin tones, and backgrounds.
