Here are 10 essential elements to make sure your wedding stationery makes a beautiful and lasting impression on your special day.

1. Choosing the right colour. Choosing the right colour palette is key when it comes to beautiful wedding stationery. Think of your favourite colours and also consider incorporating shades of ivory, blush and rich greens and blues.

2. Incorporating subtle details. Using a favourite pattern or artfully illustrated details in your stationery gives it a personal touch. It reflects your personality and adds an extra special element to your stationery.

3. Get creative with fonts. There are a variety of beautiful fonts to choose from, so pick the one that best reflects the feeling you want your stationery to have. Playful and whimsical or serious and sophisticated, pick the font that suits your style.

4. Mind your margins. Perfectly proportioned margins can make or break the look of your stationery. Make sure you’re conscious of your margins when designing your stationery as this will make all the difference.

5. Consider different paper types. If you’re searching for something a little more special, why not experiment with different paper types such as shimmer, linen or metallic cardstock.

6. Quality printing. Print your stationery on high quality paper and use a professional printer for the best results. Professional printing on quality paper will give your stationery a professional finish.

7. Make it personal. Include personal touches to make it special for you. You can make your stationery unique with featuring quotes, photos, or printing a design with the names of the bride and groom.

8. Incorporate texture. Your stationery doesn’t have to be just paper. Think about introducing texture by using ribbons, embossing or delicate lace detailing.

9. Consider presentation. Presentation of your stationery matters as it’s often the first impression people will get of your big day. Use beautiful boxes or handmade paper envelopes with personalised wax seals to create a beautiful package.

10. Get the timing right. It’s a good idea to give your guests plenty of notice and send invitations two to three months before your wedding. This means you have enough time to follow up if necessary.

No matter what type of stationery you choose, getting it right is crucial for making that lasting impression. With these 10 essential elements for beautiful wedding stationery, you’ll be sure to make an unforgettable impression on your most special day.
