Okay, so this might sound a little crass, but bear with us, things are getting very quarant-edious up in here: you know how the branding goes for Snickers? As in: there’s no wrong way to eat one? Well, that’s how we feel about wedding flowers. You can do no wrong with beautiful blooms, provided they match your color cues and dovetail, seamlessly, with your setting. Whichever flowers you choose, there truly is nothing to lose if they make you fall in love. And when you’re excited about your wedding flowers, you can’t blame a girl for wanting to see and be inspired by them all the time. That’s why finding places, like your wedding stationery, to clue guests in to what they’ll see in your arrangements, ceremony decor and centerpieces, etc. is so clutch. Consider a floral invitation as a kind of “Easter egg” for the overall botanic feel of your big day!
When we were thinking about the invitation themes we’d have for our Style Me Pretty Collection of stationery, we knew our product pages had to be blooming with floral motifs. Not just handpainted roses or peonies either, but rather a garden full of flower genius. From simpler designs with mere flourishes of flower detail to more intricately-imagined flower facets, your Style Me Pretty invitation isn’t just a nod to flowers having such an emblematic role in weddings, instead it speaks more to the couple, their style, and their artistry. We actually have quite a few signature floral designs, but today we’re just going to spotlight three of our favorites.
Oh! And one of the biggest draws to a floral invitation? The inspiration it lends to the rest of the ‘I Do’ details and day-of documentation.
Your wedding invitation will be one of the most iconic captures of the day, so you’ll want to style it in a way that breathes some life into the muse itself. Loose flower petals, a fancy, floral-noted atomizer filled with your scent for the day, maybe even a vintage stamp or two, these props can all add to your floral-lead flat lay.
Like we said earlier, flowers have played a pretty historically-heavy role in weddings, but to work a floral theme into your wedding invitation means that they’re taking more of a centerstage spot in your special day. Perhaps your dress is embroidered with metallic or whimsical pastel florals? Maybe your veil is appliquéd with 3D flowers, transforming it from something basic to something a little more fashion? Or maybe you’ll be donning a gilded flower+leaf hair comb or crystal floral circlet? It’s a floral mood and it starts on paper first!
Say it with us, there is nothing quite as breathtaking and dreamy as a floral and bridal portrait double exposure photograph. If you haven’t seen one before, you can explore the feeds of any of our immensely-talented fine art photographers and probably stumble upon a handful of these beauties. Your flowers and YOU come together for an effect that is just 😍 – and who’s to say that your watercolor floral invitation can’t be adapted in this artistic way, too… It’s painterly, too!
Every one of these petal pretty invitations is offered with a choice of four supporting pieces: response card, all-purpose card, program, and thank you card. Customize your order with all five pieces or pick and choose the elements you’d like to include or leave out. Of course, the invite, response card, and all-purpose (noting where accommodations have been reserved, a timeline of the day – from ceremony to cocktail hour and reception, and/or a reference to your wedding website for the most comprehensive event explanations) cards are usually suggested standards.
You’ll also find that every invitation is not only personalizable with regard to the phrasing, it’s also tailor-made with trim options (square, rounded, refined, natural edges, etc.), ribbon or cording embellishments, and/or paper type (standard matte, pearlescent, classic felt, and standard cotton) to further style up your floral fantasy!
