Bohemian Chic

Reminiscent of the free-spirited 70’s, and without worry over social convention, a bohemian look is perfect for artistic and laid-back wedding styles. From attire to décor, the pretty never ends and it’s full of personalized details.

Hallmarks of this enduring style trend include: a rustic locale, free flowing attire, feathers, and floral crowns.

Set the tone of your boho style on rustic chic wedding stationery. Perfect for this look and feel are watercolor washes, ombré and floral inspired designs on richly textured specialty paper.

Simple Sophistication

Leonardo da Vinci once said “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” So true—​the beauty of this wedding trend lies in clean lines, unassuming design and an understated look. Fashionable attire for this style includes illusion necklines, over the shoulder gowns, and venues with low-key glamor.

Love the idea of a simple yet sophisticated look? Express your love for the unfussy with wedding stationery that shares your preference for modern minimalism. Bring an air of elegance to your suite by pairing a sleek design with a classic font.

Natural & Organic

Naturally beautiful, this trend testifies to the beauty of the great outdoors and all things artistic and eco-friendly.

This design aesthetic loves handcrafted touches, homegrown edible favors, and DIY décor. Farm to table receptions with locally grown organic food is a trend that isn’t going anywhere soon.

A few ideas for extending a naturally organic feel throughout your suite include the rustic look of Kraft paper, watercolor and chalkboard style designs.

Pretty Display

You’ve heard that it’s better to give than to receive. It’s true—​there’s a sweet interaction and emotional bonding that occurs when we gift each other. This idea is being translated in weddings as couples are putting a gift-like spin on their invitation suites, place settings, and favors.

Need ideas? Put your favors in a decorative gift box or bag. Wrap your invitation suite in baker’s twine, ribbon, or lace. Reinvent a wedding envelope with a fanciful liner, or turn a simple place setting into a dazzling presentation—​with a unique napkin fold and an herb sprig tucked within.

Tie your wedding look together and get an emotional reaction from your guests at the same time.

Themed Motif

As practical as it is trendy, using a motif across your stationery suite is a smart way to keep a cohesive look and feel—​especially for destination and themed weddings!

Whether it’s your monogram or a beloved style element that depicts your destination, carry your motif across your wedding stationery items.

On trend style treatments for wedding stationery looks include: whimsical floral designs, feathers, and uniquely designed monograms.

Botanical Beauty

Florals are a major player in the wedding look and are always trending!

Blooming are peonies, roses and hydrangeas. What else? Hanging florals and flower hair crowns are all the rage—​from big and blossomy to modest and minimal. Romantic pastels are superb for spring and summer and floral décor for woodland weddings include wildflowers and herb centerpieces.

Carrying this trend across your wedding stationery suite will be like a delightful walk in the park. Pick from artisan designs, watercolor effects and whimsical graphic florals.

Formal Elegance

Returning to an earlier time of posh and elegance, a formal wedding is on the rise. This fresh take on formality includes extravagant attire, a stately venue and lavish details. Ceremonial yes—​stuffy, no! Don your tiara and ball gown but don’t forget your cocktail dress for the after party!

For a modern classic stationery suite, think elegant scripts married to sans serif fonts—​personalized in charcoal or gray.

Another way to further personalize your stationery is with a regal monogram or an onamental design pattern such as filigree, delft or damask.

Statement Photos

It’s all about showcasing your style and personality through visual storytelling. Whether you’re playing with props, having a chalk war in the backyard, or dolling up and going downtown for an uber-urban shoot, make a statement with photos that echo with your style and spark.

Where to begin? Browse Photo Save the Date designs before your engagement session. Share your favorites with your photographer so that you will all be on the same page—​with more focus as to which poses you’d like to capture.

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