Bring Your Wedding to Life with Floral Wedding Invitations
Flowers are a common theme for many weddings. They convey beauty, romance and elegance. So it comes as no surprise that floral wedding invitations are popular among many couples.
From delicately subtle prints to bold splashes of bright flowers, there are so many beautiful ways to bring your wedding invitations to life with floral themes. Whether your taste is elegant, simple and traditional or to contemporary and bold, there are dozens of beautiful floral wedding invitation designs to choose from.
Contemporary Floral Wedding Invitations
Casual floral prints are an ideal choice for a garden or seaside weddings, calling to mind breezy afternoons and bright sunny days. If your wedding is more formal, look for streamline invitations. A single calla lily silhouette against a plain background, for example, can make a traditional and formal statement. Calla lilies are always an elegant choice for wedding stationery, and their graceful shape is influenced by the romantic art deco era. Or, if you’re planning a wedding with a Roaring Twenties or Fabulous Forties theme, embossed calla lily invitations are great ways to get your guests into the mood of the celebration.
Contemporary floral themes can also feature a curvy, stylized botanical design in white across a colored top border. This design can be echoed in the border color, giving the invitation a fresh, bright look that is both elegant and simple at the same time. This design incorporates color, simplistic design and asymmetrical layout to create a fresh, memorable design that you’ll want to frame and display on your wall for years to come. You can also order these invitations in a wide range of colors to coordinate them with your overall wedding theme.
Traditional Floral Wedding Invitation Designs
If your wedding is more traditional, or if you just prefer classic wedding invitation design, there are lots of choices. The most traditional wedding invitations feature white on white embossed flower borders. Whether you choose wedding invitations embossed with daisies or roses, it’s the white on white raised design that makes the invitation timeless and elegant. You can even have the best of both worlds by choosing a non-traditional ink color for your printing and matching it to an envelope liner.
It’s not unusual for wedding invitations to combine both contemporary and traditional elements. You might choose, for instance, an invitation that features a single embossed rose pressed into the lower right-hand corner of the card, combining the traditional rose motif with a non-traditional layout and placement for the design.
Your wedding invitations can incorporate your wedding theme as well. Consider seashells brushed with silver around the border for a seaside wedding, or a tri-fold invitation that features a wedding gazebo imprinted on the front in pearly white for a garden wedding.
In the end, the choice of wedding invitation style comes down to your personal taste. Wedding invitations can represent or reflect the theme of your wedding, so you’ll want to take some careful time and consideration when choosing your invitations. Here a few important things to consider when looking for the floral wedding invitations that are right for you.
Invitation Style
Do you want a flat card invitation, a gate fold invitation or a folded invitation? Those are the most common styles of wedding invitations, but some specialty wedding printers may offer variations or custom styles.
Design Style
Is your wedding contemporary or traditional? Are you leaning toward the whimsical, with cute little bride and groom designs? Do you like casual or formal designs? Realistic or figurative?
Type of Flowers
Roses, daisies, pansies, lilacs, wildflowers, calla lilies? Your options are limitless. If you have a favorite flower or style of flower bouquet, you can tie it into your wedding invitation for a personal touch.
Colors
It can be very helpful to pick a color from your wedding, and then find floral invitations that pull that color into the design. You can choose from invitations with background color, or printed ink that fit your wedding, or add embellishments to your wedding invitations that pull in a color from the bouquet design.
Floral wedding invitations are guaranteed to convey the class and sophistication you’re looking for, while adding vibrant colors that bring your wedding to life. There are plenty of floral designs to choose from. Look for designs and colors that are meaningful to you and your fiancé, and your invitations will be a smashing success.
