Integrating Your Wedding Color Scheme into Your Wedding Invitations
Choosing wedding invitations is often the first decision that the prospective bride and groom make together about their wedding. Sitting down together to design and choose your wedding invitations can be surprisingly exciting. It is the first “real” evidence that you really are getting married. Choosing your wedding invitations is also an opportunity to see your wedding colors together and establish a theme for your wedding.
Modern and contemporary wedding invitations offer more options for customization than ever before. Not too long ago, your wedding invitation choices were limited. You could choose from two color choices, which were white and ivory. Black ink was the only color available for text of the invitation. The most traditional wedding invitations offered no real decoration even though there were many invitations with embossed or imprinted wedding designs and borders.
Over the past thirty years, that has changed greatly as contemporary wedding publishers have introduced wedding invitations that feature colors, themes, designs and embellishment designed to attract and please new generations of brides and grooms who wanted more choices. Today’s contemporary wedding couple can choose from invitations that are printed in many colors, or that feature designs and themes that coordinate with your wedding event. If you are planning a wedding and choosing invitations, these are just some of the ways that you can integrate your wedding colors and themes into your wedding planning from the very start.
Choose wedding invitations that feature your chosen colors.
Printed wedding invitations come in a large variety of styles and colors. The colored printing ranges from simple borders to full color photographic backgrounds. You can choose wedding invitations that are printed on colored paper backgrounds, or backed with a colored card backer. To make it even easier for you, some wedding providers offer fully coordinated colors that run through everything from your invitation to your flower girl’s dress.
Many wedding companies have a suite of colors that have been carefully matched so that you can easily order invitations, accessories, bridesmaid dresses, and even accessories for your wedding reception. This can help increase your confidence that everything is going to match. If you have chosen to have your bridesmaids all wear a dress with a Cornflower sash, you can order your invitations with a Cornflower envelope liner and know that the color is an exact match.
If you choose invitations with a printed design, you may often have a choice of several different color combinations. One popular style, American Dream, features a bold design of pansies against a white background. The pansies design is available in blue, tangerine, apple, and sangria. Those same colors are available throughout the manufacturers’ designs in wedding and bridesmaid dresses, decorations, shoes, and accessories for the wedding day so that you can have a completely coordinated wedding day.
Add embellishments to your wedding invitations that match your wedding colors.
Besides choosing invitations that are pre-coordinated to match with your wedding party, you can also choose to design your own invitations and add embellishments. Design your own and do-it-yourself wedding invitations give you many different options for customizing your invitations with your wedding colors. There are some excellent reasons why you would want to do that. Remember that there is more to your wedding stationery than just your actual invitations. Your stationery suite also includes items like place cards and table cards that should coordinate with your invitations and thank you notes. Having them all match with your wedding colors can help your wedding color scheme to carry through from the invitation to the thank you note.
When you design your own wedding invitations through an online wedding vendor, you should have many options that you can customize with your wedding colors. You can choose invitations that incorporate your wedding colors in many different ways. You may be able to choose from
- paper colors for the invitation itself
- ink colors for the printing on the invitation
- ink colors for the border or design print
- accent colors for a design element or monogram on the invitation
- envelope color for the inner or outer envelope
- envelope liner color in a solid color, foil or coordinating print
- colored invitation sleeves to enclose your invitation
- colored ribbons or bows to embellish your invitation
- colored backers to place behind your invitation in your choice of accent color
Keep in mind when choosing colors for your wedding invitations that less can sometimes be better. Before you order a complete wedding stationery ensemble, ask for a sample proof in your chosen colors so that you can decide if you like the effect of all the colors together. Other options to consider are do it yourself invitations. Although these require extra work, they can be well worth it since you have full control of what the invitations look like.
