I love being in the know. This could anything from fashion trends to restaurants, and most importantly wedding invitations! C&N Events is a event planning firm based in Brooklyn, New York and is right on with the latest trends in events. I love connecting with other passionate people that have a love for what they do, as you can see from her very informative list below. I couldn't agree more with her stand on the importance of the invitation.
Trends that I love right now!
Opening
the envelope of a wedding invitation is like opening a window to the promise of
that day; it provides a peek of the festivities to come. Wedding invitations
are extremely important to the wedding planning process this is how the bride
and groom communicate with their guests. In addition to letting your guests
know the details of the wedding, the wedding invitations also need to
demonstrate the overall atmosphere of the event. This means that whether the
event is casual or formal, the wedding invitations should reflect it. This will
save them embarrassment from wearing a gown to a casual garden wedding!
Nature-inspired
Birds and related imagery have captured the attention of many brides. We
expect to see more bridal stationery featuring hummingbirds, mockingbirds,
simple floral branches and scenery. This is a great option for brides who are
having an outdoor wedding. For a twist on the classic monogram try adding a
floral detail, or choose a bold pattern of blossoms to any background.
3-Dimensional
I am absolutely loving interactive wedding invitations! We all enjoyed pop open
books as kids but now it’s being used in a more grown up and still fun way!
Adding objects and personal touches to the invitations gives a handmade feel to
the wedding stationery.
Custom Illustrations
One of the hottest new wedding paper trends: Custom-illustrated
stationery featuring architectural sketches of your wedding venue and
handwritten wedding details of the weekend. Some of these illustrations are not
only being featured on paper but fun places like handkerchiefs,
coasters, napkins, and place cards.
Eco-friendly Designs
The green movement has been going strong for the past decade and will continue
to spread around the world. It was only a matter of time before brides and
vendors alike would start applying these greener practices to their weddings. These eco-friendly designs are not about sacrificing looks but creating a
smarter product!
Whatever invitation you choose to send to your guest, elegant, modern, fun
or quirky, it should 100 percent represent the bride, groom and your special day!
