Wedding Invitation Trends for a Spring Wedding
Spring is a time for rebirth, when the ground bursts into color and trees regain their leaves and blossom, scenting the air with fragrant flowers and sending people outdoors to enjoy the new season. Planning a spring wedding should be no less magnificent and should begin with your wedding invitations.
Buds and Blooms
Spring is most often associated with flowers, but you don’t have to choose a frilly, floral wedding invitation if this isn’t your style. There are more modern ways to incorporate flowers into your wedding invitation, such as an elegant silhouette of either your signature flower or several flowers. Silhouettes are a rising trend in wedding invitations because they can be chic and modern, flirty and fun, traditional, or denote a Japanese influence.
If you are going for a sleek, modern look, consider a bright white background with your silhouette outlined in a dark ink, like charcoal gray or navy blue. You could also invert this with a charcoal gray paper and a white silhouette. For a less modern look, you could easily incorporate a pastel paper such as light pink with a dark pink silhouette of a tulip bouquet for a flirty, more casual vibe.
You could also use flowers to symbolize your budding marriage, using this as a theme throughout your wedding. Choosing an invitation that features flowers just beginning to open will accentuate this theme. You could also have a die-cut flower punched out of the cover of a bi-fold wedding invitation to reveal a printed flower that appears inside the invitation, giving a playful, peek-a-boo feel.
Spring Critters
You don’t have to limit your love of spring to its beautiful flowers. If you love butterflies, ladybugs, or birds, which all symbolize spring, consider incorporating one into your wedding invitation. A butterfly symbolizes rebirth, since it emerges from a cocoon transformed from an ordinary caterpillar into a thing of beauty. Again, silhouettes are popular and could easily be applied to a butterfly theme to avoid looking too cutesy. If you want drama, you could choose a boldly colored butterfly motif with deep pinks, blues and greens instead of more common pastels. A series of butterflies could flit around the page in a colorful border, or could be transformed into a separate shape that forms the clasp of a tri-fold invitation.
Ladybugs are said to bring good luck, and if you have a particular affinity for these creatures, use it! Your wedding invitations could be printed on white paper with red lettering and an embossed ladybug centered over the wording. You could also create a tri-fold invitation with the telltale pattern and colors of a ladybug on the outside with a crisp white inside containing the invitation wording.
Finally, a pair of birds could represent the “love birds” getting married and appear in various ways throughout your wedding as a motif. Two birds could be perched on a branch extending across the invitation, signaling the journey the couple will embark upon together. You could choose a layered wedding invitation where each bird could appear to hold a corner of the vellum overlay that contains the wording against the background page.
A sense of renewal and the promise of spring will enliven your wedding invitations and remind your guests of the journey you are about to start.
