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 …

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!

For more information contact To Have and to Hold – info@tohave-tohold.co.uk

We love the simplicity of this design which incorporates 4 different cards in one, with the invitation card, directions card, RSVP and accommodation card all tied together with ribbon. The invitation fans out to reveal all you need to know about the wedding and of course the types of information cards can be changed to suit your wedding. This design is particularly useful if you are having a wedding overseas or if many of your guests will be coming from different countries when a lot of information needs to be included along with the invitation.

The RSVP card is perforated so your guests can easily detach it and send it back with the envelope provided. Thanda Creations also offer a multi lingual stationery printing service, so if you are printing your invitations in a number of different languages this service will be perfect for you!

The ‘Stephanie’ wedding invitation design, including all 4 information cards costs £3.00 per invitation. Contact Thanda Creations for more details.

The look and luxurious tactile feel of an embossed or letterpress image into a thick high quality card, speaks for itself. These cards, mainly hand fed and printed in small runs are far different from the mass production of so many cards.  The finish and boards used really do have to be seen to appreciate their superb quality.  Whether letterpress, thermography, engraving, diestamping, blind embossing, plate sinking or foil blocking,  you can be sure of exceptional quality wedding  invitations and stationery.  If you are confused about all of these printing techniques, and which to choose, we will be publishing a handy guide tomorrow with the help of Tim Honnor from Piccolo Press.

Piccolo Press offer an entirely bespoke service, so if you have an idea for a design, they will work with you to see your ideas transformed into beautiful wedding stationery.  Contact Piccolo Press directly to find out more about how thay can help you to design your perfect wedding stationery.
