Choosing the perfect wedding stationery design can sometimes seem like a daunting task, especially with the gigantic amount of options available and the pressure to make everything perfect for the special day. However, with a few simple steps, you can navigate through the process and make sure your invitations beautifully reflect your style and wedding theme.
Understand Your Wedding Theme
Before jumping feet first into the wide range of wedding stationery designs, it’s important to have a clear understanding of your wedding theme. Whether you want a simple rustic gathering, or a unique woodland theme, your wedding stationery should ideally reflect your chosen theme. If you’re planning a spring wedding, including spring flowers or rustic elements can add a charming touch to your invitations.
Set Your Budget
Wedding stationery can differ significantly in price, so setting a budget early can help you narrow down your options and choose a design that fits comfortably within your limits. Every element of the stationery, from the paper quality to the type of printing, can affect the cost, so decide what you want to prioritise and what you’re willing to sit on.
Choose the Right Materials and Style for Your Wedding Stationery Design
The material of your wedding stationery adds texture and character to your invitations. High-quality materials like vellum or high-quality card stock can give a polished feel, while textured paper suits a more rustic theme. The style of your stationery, that being laser-cut or watercolour, should complement the aesthetics of your wedding. For a spring-themed wedding, consider spring flower wedding invitations that include delicate floral prints to set a romantic tone for your celebration.
Consider the Practical Details
When selecting your wedding stationery, it’s not just about how it looks—practical details matter too. Think about the size and shape of your invitations, as well as the authenticity of the text. Make sure there’s enough space to include all necessary information without it looking cluttered. Also, consider how you will include essential details such as RSVP instructions, directions to the venue, and accommodation.
Personalise Your Invitations
Personalisation is a big factor in making your wedding stationery unique. Include elements that tell your story or personal touches that speak to your personalities. This can be anything from a custom illustration to a poem or quote that means something to both of you. For couples looking for something truly unique, bespoke wedding stationery designs allow for total customisation.
Samples are Your Friend
Before making a final decision, order samples of your wedding stationery. This allows you to see and feel the quality of the paper, making sure the colours and details meet your expectations. For your information, we offer a complimentary sample wedding invitation, allowing you to experience the quality firsthand before committing. Simply, choose an invitation from Emma’s collection, and contact Emma asking for a sample.
Timing is Everything
Start your search for wedding stationary at least six months before your wedding. This will give you enough time to browse, order samples, make decisions, and allow for printing and shipping.
