Pocket Invitations
These invitations keep all of your enclosures in a neat, organized pocket. They are available in a wide variety of styles, from elegant to whimsical, and in just about every color combination. Many companies offer mix and match pocket ensembles to compliment every bridal color scheme.
Modern Monograms
A monogram is basically a pair of initials usually written in a fancy script/font style. The monogram can be placed on the outside of the inner envelopes, on the invitations themselves, and on other parts of the wedding stationery. Monograms are a good choice because they provide personalization to the invitations and add a touch of elegance.
Vintage Patterns
Patterns once reserved for little old ladies and slipcovered couches are getting a serious makeover this year with bold designs and bolder color combinations. Vintage textile patterns become fresh and statement-making for 2009. Damask becomes daring, brocade gets bold, and lace becomes luxe with these modern interpretations that feel anything but vintage.
Affordable Luxury
Brides shouldn’t have to sacrifice style to stay within their budgets. With a growing collection of gorgeous, affordable wedding invitations, they won’t have to. 2009 will see a return to wedding invitations that are equal parts style and sensibility with beautiful styles at unbeatable prices.
Fresh Oranges
Orange is an unexpected yet exceptionally stylish choice for 2009 wedding invitations. From bright tangerine for a festive wedding event, to deep burnt orange for a more formal affair, orange is surprisingly versatile. Start by searching for the citrus-inspired hue that's right for you. Orange looks amazing with chocolate brown, bright pinks, baby blues, bright white, or any other color combination that makes your favorite orange color pop and makes your heart sing.
Au Natural
Likely attributed to the growing eco-friendly trend, wedding invitations will continue to “go green” in 2009. Whether brides wish to use completely recycled materials, or decide to play homage to mother earth with little tributes to nature, every 2009 bride just might discover an eco-friendly style all her own. Brides will continue to find inspiration in the natural world around them with styles featuring organic shapes, leaf motifs, floral designs; even birds and other animal prints.
For an added flourish, natural pressed flowers are a beautiful, organic way to accent your wedding invitations. With charming hydrangeas, classic daisies, gorgeous violas and delicate verbenas that are grown, picked, pressed and dried by hand, your wedding invitations will really come alive.
It’s true that the rules of tradition no longer apply to every bride, and the past few years have seen a surge of unconventional styles, colors, and designs. While many brides will continue to “push the envelope” with these unique styles in 2009, we will also see a return to the classics.
Elegant white and ecru wedding invitations in sleek, timeless styles will be seen for casual and formal affairs alike. Classic wedding invitations with traditional lettering are a welcome reminder of what weddings used to be. If jarring colors and cheeky designs are not for you, you’ll be happy to find a new collection of timelessly elegant styles to suit your classic taste.
