Wedding stationery trends

Your wedding stationery gives your guests the first little hint of what to expect on your big day.

Obviously they’re most excited about seeing you get married, but there’s nothing quite like the little flutter of joy when that gloriously luxurious invitation slides through the door and the anticipation of opening it up and seeing how your best friends have chosen to invite you to their wedding.

Stationery often sets the theme or colour palette, so whether you choose to go with metallic splashes, geometric shapes or pretty lace papercut, these choices will filter through to your décor, colour scheme and even florals. So it’s quite a big decision! Here are some of our favourite trends when it comes to stationery.

Metallics

Every colour palette needs a metallic accent to add some sparkle to the day! Start with your invites and give your guests some glam through their letterbox.

Geometric shapes

Simple shapes on a single coloured background can be really striking, adding detail to stationery without getting too busy or frilly!

Papercut

The sweetest detail can be added to your stationery with an intricate papercut design. Whether you want to incorporate florals, patterns or a beautiful picture, it can all cleverly be done for you – it means you can truly have any design you wish!

Moody floral

Perfect for an autumnal or winter wedding, placing big, bright florals on a moody, dusky background colour is so effective. White backgrounds scream fresh spring and summer, navy or burgundy feel warm and comforting, a perfect way to fill your stationery with those florals you adore.

Calligraphy

Keep it simple with the minimum. Beautiful calligraphy is so striking, it needs nothing else! Match it with your colour palette, or keep your guests guessing.
