Wedding stationery is the first of a number of essential wedding elements (attire, flowers, cake, favors, and accessories) that will carry-out your wedding colors. Because your save the date cards and invitations will be your guest’s introduction to the theme of your special day it’s important to consider the mood and feeling you want to evoke through your design choices. For example, sandy blues and greens are lovely for a peaceful seaside theme or warm tones like burnt orange and brown for a festive autumnal event. Your options for color creativity are truly endless.

When selecting your wedding colors start with the colors that appeal to you most. Magazines, fabric stores and paint swatches from your local hardware store can provide inspiration. The decision can be as easy as picking your favorite color and its compliment like pink and green or a tone on tone approach featuring many variations of the same hue. Adding silver or gold accent creates a more formal look and feel. It’s easy to coordinate your invitation colors with your wedding theme with fonts, monograms or envelopes for a cohesive and polished look.
