Formal Wedding Invitations!

Hey Everyone!

Today we will be going off of the idea of the formal wedding theme and going towards the idea of the invitations for those weddings. As I mentioned in my previous post, this invitation set up and style is more different then we had seen from earlier examples.

This example below is from a wedding that went a very simple route. I believe this was a good design decision throughout. This is because this theme is so simple and elegant, the invitations should be too.

The flowers are cut out but only some parts of them are and then the rest is a pattern that is put onto the paper. These invitations give the feel of something that is simple and not wild. These formal weddings are meant to be serious and the invitations should convey that to the guest.

This invitation is so simple but so powerful. The hierarchy of this invitation is the flowers because the red flowers are a big part of the actually wedding.

It is so important to stick with your theme of the wedding from the start. If you want your guests to know what the feel and theme of the wedding is, the only way they will really know that is through the save the dates and invitations that you send out. If you have a specific way that you want your guests to act or you want them to wear something then you have to tell them that instead of them guessing.

Have you ever been to a wedding that was formal themed? What theme colors were there? Did the invitation make the theme and feeling clear?

Thanks for reading about this week’s formal theme!

Stay tuned for more wedding posts next week.

Country Wedding Invitations

Hello again everyone, hope you liked my first posting earlier this week!

It is now time to look into invitations for country style weddings. I will look at these invitations from a designer perspective and a future bride perspective.

Below is the first invitation that is on this blog that I will give my perspective on. This invitations color is definitely leading towards the rustic style because of the different shades of brown in the background of the printed paper. I would have some different colors in this invitation because right now nothing there isn’t any hierarchy. This would help for guests to know where the location or what times the different event was. However, I do really like the add-on that the invitations has from under the printing page, those include the ribbons that are added to the top paper. This adds more character and personality to the invitations for guests to enjoy. The set of three invitations here is consistent throughout the different types of forms for there wedding. This will help guest keep track of what invitations goes with what form for the reception. Trust me, when your guests have five weddings in one year they will thank you for keeping everything together and consistent throughout. I would say something that would help is to have an accent color added on these invitations. It could be a color that is your main wedding color or some kind of color that describes you and your fiancé. This invitation could have more personality and creativeness so that the guest will want to keep it and not just throw it in the trash when your wedding is done with. Doing this is just being more different then a plain piece of paper. You could make it 3-D by just folding the invitation differently with the same amount of paper that you could have used for just a paper over paper invitation.
