Contemporary wedding etiquette allows you to create wedding invitations
that reflect whatever you want about your wedding style. The formality
of the event, your wedding colors, your personal style and more should
all be taken into consideration. You can choose wedding invitations that
are elegant, traditional, whimsical or trendy. Your wedding invitations
can reflect the theme of your wedding in motifs, borders, colors and
embellishments. When you are choosing wedding invitations for your big
day, one thing you may not consider is the significance of the season in
which your wedding will be held.
Is there actually such a thing as spring wedding invitations or winter
wedding invitations? While most wedding invitation printers and online
wedding sites do not necessarily differentiate their wedding invitations
by seasons, there are definite differences between wedding invitation
styles that are popular in the spring and those that are appropriate for
a winter wedding.
If you are ordering invitations for a winter wedding, you might look for some of the following details:
Winter motifs
Motifs are small images and figures that appear at different places on
your wedding invitation. Some popular winter wedding invitation motifs
include falling snowflakes and snow-covered pines. If you are in a
whimsical mood, you might choose a wedding invitation topped with a
bride and groom snowman, or a holly leaf or sprig of mistletoe for the
Christmas season.
Winter Colors
Silver and gold are always popular in winter wedding invitations.
Touches of silver printing on snowflake borders are an elegant way to
express a wintertime theme. Other winter colors are Christmas colors. If
your wedding takes place around the winter holidays, you might choose
invitations with rich, red envelope liners and touches of red printing.
Deep forest green satin ribbons are another wintry touch that you can
subtly add to your wintertime wedding invitations.
Holiday photos
Photo invitations give you another way to include something seasonal in
your wedding invitations. Choose a beautiful, snowy forest scene as the
backdrop for your wedding invitations, or a bough of pine and a red
ribbon to express the season.
Seasonal Embellishments
Colors are rich with symbolism and meaning. Choose flat invitations in
white, then embellish with rich garnet satin ribbons and foil envelope
liners, or enclose the invitation in a translucent wrap patterned with
snowflakes.
If you are buying invitations for a spring wedding, you might consider
some of the following elements in your wedding invitations:
Flower motifs
Delicate flower prints on corners or borders are one way to invoke a
spring feeling in your wedding invitations. Sprays of bouquets and all
over background prints of growing flowers are common springtime motifs
for wedding invitations.
Vibrant colors
Bold, splashy prints in vibrant colors sing spring in a loud voice for a
contemporary springtime wedding. Bright oranges, turquoise and
persimmon are among the hottest colors for springtime weddings. Choose
colors for your wedding invitations that coordinate with your wedding
colors to get a completely coordinated look for your entire event.
Pastels
Pretty in pink pastels are also very popular in the spring. Choose
border prints in pastel gingham checks or wrap a formal wedding
invitation in a pale yellow or sage green satin ribbon to invoke the
colors of springtime for your wedding.
Play with springtime patterns
Choose an invitation with whimsical patterns in springtime colors. The
color can make all the difference. A pattern of stylized hearts and
flowers can be very springtime in pale pink. The very same pattern in
bright red and white recalls Valentine’s Day and wintertime.
Springtime Embellishments
You can start with a simple flat invitation and add embellishments in
springtime colors to invoke springtime. Choose pale green or pink,
yellow or baby blue if your wedding colors are pastels. If you prefer a
brighter palette, choose clear persimmon reds, orange and bright, bright
pink. Choose an overlay lightly brushed with pastel-washed watercolor,
or add a tiny bow to the stems of a printed wildflower bouquet for a
beautiful spring accent.
Of course, there are invitations that are completely timeless, and work
well for any season. This is especially true if you are planning a
traditional formal wedding. For this purpose, you can choose an
invitation in solid white or ecru, and print it in black. Even formal
wedding invitations can give a nod to the season, though, with the
subtle embossed patterns in its borders or edges.
