subject: Inspiration For Your Wedding Invitations [print this page] You've heard it said before "invitations set the tone of your wedding" oh, how true that is! Think about it if you're a bride that loves all things elegant, your invitations will most likely exude your personality through deep rich colors, fine paper, and maybe even a satin ribbon or crystal embellishment. On the other hand, if an outdoor country setting is more your cup of tea, your invitations could incorporate more of a casual feeling with fun patterns, light and airy color accents, or a more organic, eco-friendly paper medium. Either way, your guests will sure be delighted to receive such a personal token from the bride and groom, leaving them waiting in anticipation of the event to come.
One of the most common dilemmas brides face in invitation design is that there are so many choices, so many beautiful things, so many directions they can take with their wedding theme how do they decide? As an invitation designer, I find inspiration from many different sources, but mainly from things that make me "jump" a little inside. You know the feeling you got when you saw that gorgeous engagement ring for the first time? Like that. Only scaled down a bit.
The obvious source of inspiration are wedding magazines, but since you're at the magazine stand, check out an interior design or food mag too. Flip through the pages and make note of colors, patterns, and textures that catch your eye. I once built an entire 5-piece invitation suite with a vintage feel from a magazine cutout of an antique crank-style record player! You'll be surprised just how quickly other decisions will fall into place once you've decided on a concept for your invitations.
Likewise, some of the best wedding invitations I've seen tell the story of the couple in love. Maybe photography is a passion you both enjoy, how amazing would it be to create an invitation photo booklet showcasing each stage of your relationship together? Of course, the "finale" would be the details of your upcoming nuptials.
No matter what your point-of-view, invitations that express the personality and love you have for each other is always the right choice. Congratulations and may you have a lifetime of LOL moments together!
