We’ve written countless editorials on how epic an impact the small, finishing touches make on your wedding day. From the bridal suite ‘prepping’ paraphernalia and the backdrops beyond your altar to the signage that subtly nudges your squad to get into the nuptials spirit and the Mr. & Mrs. banners reminding you that this is a BIG day, these little details really, really make a big difference. At Style Me Pretty, we’re obviously huge admirers of high-touch tailoring and poignant personalization going into wedding planning, so if there’s a way we can help amplify the aisle styling, you know we’ll always take it!
Let’s start at the beginning, though, because making your wedding day your own doesn’t just happen that day; rather, it evolves over the course of your engagement and translates into sweet, creative complements to your love story. Your partner finds a ring that perfectly captures your essence (and you say ‘YES!’), then you move onto deciding on the date and time, locale and overall look of your ‘I Dos,’ then comes a color palette, your bridal party, the vibes of your vows, ALL the things that will come together to create your special day and everything is conducive to your own, signature stamps.
Speaking of stamps… your invitation is the prelude to all the merriment that is to come, so of course you could say that there’s a lot of anticipation leading up to its arrival in you guests’ mailboxes. Will it be bold and trailblazing, classic and full of charm, fashionable and exclusive-feeling, modern and arrestingly-chic, or romantic and ethereal in interpretation? Everything in your suite, including the invitation, the response card, the all-purpose card, will be pretty standard, in form, but the templates each tell a story and foreshadow little Easter eggs that will show up at the wedding in unique ways.
Much like the way everything at your event wraps up in a perfect little bow (and actually, no, there isn’t a ‘perfect,’ there’s just intention and branding and a rhythm, rhyme and reason for doing things the way you do), your invitations deserve the same kind of attention and thoughtfulness. Custom stationers can assemble your suite with artfully-designed inserts or pockets that package up all of your important pieces of correspondence; if you’ll be doing the invitations on your own, though, you can put a stunningly-bespoke invitation bundle together very easily using Style Me Pretty’s embellishments.

Soft, feminine, and full of romance – unwrap for a modern fairy tale, for all intents and purposes. We have four hues that harmonize oh so well with the modern wedding palette: blush, gray, dusty blue, and white and they can be tied in a high-brow, lavaliere-style bow, in a cleaner and delicately-cinched knot, or like a present, fashioned into a symmetric bow and joined in the middle with a beautiful wax seal. If you choose to go with ribbon, we recommend purchasing a few extra spools to style your flat lays with.

Subtle, fashion-forward, and utterly refined – the look is pretty much like disrobing poetry (if we could take a page out of Netflix’s Emily in Paris). The four color iterations of gold metallic, pink, black, and white cotton cording can literally go with any kind of assembled ensemble be it a watercolor floral wash, a modern black-and-white play, or a soft neutral in need of an elevating-metallic motif. They offer but a whisper of texture and intrigue, but still mesmerize with their mark.

Festive, rustic or bohemian, and adventurous in spirit – the suede twine tie-up conjures a degree of seasonality and imaginative creativity (anyone else reminded of a treasure map?!). Available in just two versatile colors, pink and tan, the magic in these combinations is in their texture (they can be tied alone when they’re sent in the mail or used to affix some natural element like greenery when you style your day-of flat lays).
Every Style Me Pretty invitation suite is sublime in its own right, but when you add one or more of our enchanting embellishments, you’ll be making a statement that sticks with your guests (and not just on their refrigerators!).
