Spring Wedding Invitations – Ideas and Inspiration

Sam — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 23:00:00 +0000

So the date for ‘That Wedding’ has finally been announced! Yes, Kate Middleton and Prince William are heading for a Spring wedding on 29^th April 2011. We thought we’d banish the cold winter blues and get all our brides and grooms in the Spring Wedding mood with a celebration of Spring colours and ideas. The onset of spring means that you are spoilt for choice with wonderful flower options – but before you set your heart on having armfuls of daffodils , tulips, daisies or peonies, check with your florist that they will be available on your chosen date as some flowers are only in season for a very short time.

With more seasonal flowers becoming available, Spring is a great time to use softer colours in pastel shades and softer hues – like yellow, baby blue, green, pinks and lavender. We love the following colour combinations:

Preppy pink and mint green – this color combination couldn’t be more spring-like, and is perfect for a beautiful, fresh spring wedding

Petal pink or baby blue with chocolate accents – lovely for a chocolate Easter theme!

Blue and white – a classic, fresh colour combination

Green and ivory – Softer greens like sage green or mint

Lavender and Yellow

When it comes to wedding invitations for a Spring wedding, flowers and floral patterns are the most popular but butterflies and birds can also add a Spring-like feel. Add soft organza or satin ribbons in pastel colours to make your invitations pretty, pretty, pretty! Enjoy our choice of some lovely Spring ideas …

Design of the Week: Love Bird Wedding Invitations by To Have and to Hold

Sam — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 09:44:12 +0000

I just love this wonderfully unique wedding invitation design by one of our latest designers to join the WIS – To Have and to Hold. The design is inspired by a beautiful vintage birdcage. This wonderful, hand crafted wedding invitation features a bird cage that ‘pops up’ when you open the card. Look inside the birdcage and you will see some love birds sitting on a perch. It really is one of the cutest designs I have featured in a long time!

The design is available in the whole range of wedding stationery and can be ordered in all shades of Pink, Orange, Yellow, White, Ivory, Green, Olive, Black, Blue, Turquoise, Purple, Plum, Brown, Peach, Grey, Silver, Gold, Coral, Rose, Red and many others in metallic / matt.

The pop-up card costs £3.60, including printing and standard envelopes. Upgrade to add ribbon and luxury envelopes. The ‘Birdcage Table Plan’ is particularly wonderful and perfect for a unique twist to your wedding stationery. Instead of a conventional flat style this seating plan is actually a beautiful vintage styled birdcage distressed in off white. Your table plan is designed and printed by To Have & To Hold and then attached with little wooden pegs to a rose garland which is available in off White or Pink, this could also be made with fresh flowers. The usual cost is £40.00 but if you order before the end of October the birdcage ‘table plan’ is only £30.00!
