Summer Wedding Invitations
Your wedding invitations do much more than convey the basic facts of your event; they also help to set a tone, establish a theme, and will be the first impression that your guests get of your wedding. Summer weddings are very special, and they deserve equally special invitations. From formal to casual to themed, here are some of the best ideas for summer wedding invitations.
Summer weddings are often less formal than winter affairs. If this is true for you, let your invitations be fun and relaxed too. For an outdoor wedding, a creamy cardstock with a letterpress parasol motif in shades of orange and hot pink would be pretty. Other motif ideas include Adirondack chairs, daisies, or paper lanterns. The casual motif is particularly nice when done in letterpress rather than a flat printing, as it keeps the stationery special enough for a wedding, and avoids looking like an invitation to a barbeque.
If you are having a formal summer evening wedding, you will want your invitations to be as elegant as your silk gown and Swarovski crystal earrings. One of the hottest colors for formal weddings this season is charcoal gray. Engraved wedding stationery with charcoal lettering would be chic enough for even the most grand affair. If you want to add some punch to formal invitations, opt for a tri-fold design, and wrap a deep red satin ribbon around them. The dramatic red is a nice contrast to the subdued gray tone.
For a modern twist, choose flat printed invitations on a square card. Don’t be afraid to experiment with asymmetrical designs, such as a stripe on one side of the stationery. The hippest invitations will use this season’s hot colors turquoise and coral. Utterly summery, bold and delightful, they make a terrific color palette for a modern wedding. Sans-serif lettering looks best with this style of invitation. Allow your wedding invitations to express your style and the tone of your wedding, and they are sure to be absolutely perfect.
