Take a cue from the locale of your wedding and tie in natural elements from the location into the design. We love the buffalo illustrated in the liner and the local florals in the insert from this Montana wedding.

Include a Wax Seal

Wax seals might have been a regular addition to postage in the past but the addition of one today lends a unique vintage touch to an invitation. We love how this invitation uses a turquoise one to channel the western feel of the Utah wedding.

Think Transparent

A transparent acrylic invitation with simple white lettering achieves contemporary minimalism. The "less is more" aesthetic uses a visual hierarchy of text to highlight only the most important details.

Channel a Vineyard

For this Napa Valley wedding, the couple decided to channel the vineyards of their venue for their invitation suite. A stunning illustration and floral touches throughout add a lovely elegance to the design.

Use a Rustic Palette

A violet and copper palette is rustic and elegant when combined with wax seals and silk ribbon. Deckle-edge invitations and calligraphy wedding envelopes really make this suite stand out.

Channel a Work of Art

Couple Annie and Spencer channeled Vincent Van Gogh's "A Starry Night" throughout the design of their wedding with a unique floral wall and coordinating palette. Naturally, they decided to give a preview of the theme with their invitation suite. A recreation of the painting in the envelope liner, as well as star motifs, perfectly bring the theme together.

Personalize it With Your Portraits

For a creative modern couple, you can really have fun with the personalization of your invitations. DeYandré and Vishal had friends create their line-drawing caricatures for their suite. DeYandré says, “The style is often depicted inminimalistblack and white, but our friends knew the importance ofcolorfor us. They grounded a deep plum line with bright abstract shapes in the background.”

Make an Illustration the Focal Point

At this Colorado wedding, a large foldable illustration of the venue served a cover for a number of small inserts with all the details of the event and weekend festivities.

Embrace Warm Tones

Burnt tones add a splash of color in this Indian-inspired invitation complete with gilded lettering and patterned corners. For a traditional Hindu wedding, we'd expect nothing less.

Stick With Patterns

Choose Fun Stamps

No need to select the basic stamps you can grab at the post office. This couple chose western-inspired designs to add to the aesthetic of their Jackson Hole wedding suite.

Include a Ribbon

One charming touch you can add to your invitation suite is to add a loose ribbon to tie together your suite in a romantic package.

Allude To Your Destination

Destination wedding? A watercolor map drawing will give your invitations some local color in more ways than one. Even the tile patterned liner found inside the envelope hints to a Positano wedding.
