What's hot for the 2011 Wedding Season?
Colours
Black and white weddings always remain a classic choice whatever the season’s trend. This year accentuate with a bright colour from the 2011 pallette to add another dimension.
Invitation ideas - Our 'Two Tone' invitation is ideal for a classic black and white wedding or choose the 'Manhattan' invitation in black and white and accent with a bright coloured ribbon for the perfect finish.
Purple looks set to be a firm favourite with Brides this year. Contrast shades of lilac and purple for a sophisticated look or choose a dark rich purple for a more regal style.
Invitation ideas - Our 'Rhode Island' invitation remains a firm favourite with Brides and looks set to popular again for 2011. Finish it with a dark purple ribbon for a touch of class. Also look out for our new printed 'Geneva' invitation combining sleek typefaces in deep purple tones.
This season’s pink pallette consists of dusky honeysuckle shades which are perfect for a garden party wedding. Or at the stronger end of the pallette we have bright raspberry.
Invitation ideas - Our 'New Hampshire' invitation would look gorgeous in honeysuckle pink. Also look out for our new 'Bloomsbury' invitation which looks fabulous in raspberry!
Citrus colours remain from the 2010 pallette - orange, yellow and lime can be combined for a bright modern summer wedding look or pick one colour and use it to contrast or accentuate. Orange works particularly well with brown tones for an autumnal wedding.
Invitation ideas - Both 'Astoria' and our embossed invitation 'Liberty' work brilliantly in bright colours or for a vibrant summer wedding choose our Sunflower z-fold invitation incorporating an rsvp in the design.
Metallic colours will be popular once again this season. Added to silver and gold will be copper and bronze tones, opening up the metallic pallette even further.
Invitation ideas - Our new 'Vienna', 'Odessa' and 'Marrakech' foiled invitations are ideal for this trend, or choose our 'Snowflake Burst' design; perfect for a winter wedding.
Styles
The Vintage style will continue to be popular during 2011. For those English rose brides wanting romance and nostalgia this is the perfect trend for you.
Invitation ideas - Add vintage lace to any of our invitation designs with ribbons, or choose our new 'Rochester' or Butterfly z-fold designs for a garden party wedding.
Layers and Ruffles will be making a strong appearance on a lot of wedding dresses this season.
Invitation ideas - Include layers of vellum and textured paper in your invitation design to incorporate this style. Our Layers invitation is perfect for this trend.
This year’s Royal Wedding is bound to influence trends and colours for the season.
Invitation ideas - Choose regal colours such as purple or navy and go for a classic design such as our Kensington invitation.
