Fuchsia Wedding Invitations

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Fuchsia is the name of colour that most people recognise as a hot dark pink, but actually it’s a shade that originates from the flower also known as Fuchsia. The flower is actually a tiered flower, with petals and their colours ranging from a soft red to a hot pink and gradually purple in colour. The flower alone can be used for your wedding theme, or even the wedding invitation theme with the colours in mind.

When you think of a fuchsia for wedding, it does not mean that everything will a shade of pink, but actually could be that the focal colour, apart from white reserved for the bride, will be so. It could be from the wedding invitations in pink or even purple or a pinkish red with white text or vice versa. But, for those who want a fuchsia floral wedding, then you could feature the flower in the decor and the bouquets and also use an illustration or photographic element in your wedding invitations, bringing it in full circle.

Fuchsia Wedding Invitations

The wedding decor in itself may play a big role in deciding what you are going to do and which colours you will pick to complement your colour of choice, being fuchsia. The colour themes for the decorations at your wedding can be anything from complementary colours that go well with fuchsia, or monochromatic with varying shades of fuchsia, pink, purple and red. The easiest way to make a statement of your fuchsia wedding theme would be to feature a Fuchsia flower for effect. However, that does not mean you cannot include other flowers of the same hue.  From the likes of Peony, Nerine Lily, Anemone, a Rose, Hyacinth, Sweet Pea, Ranunculus, Spray Rose and a French Tulip, all in the pink variety, you have yourself some lovely Fuchsia flowers for your wedding decor, and some inspiration for your wedding invites.

Fuchsia goes well with many colours, but as it is a bold colour, the colour that goes with it needs to be somewhat calming to create an elegant look for your big day.  Sage, lime, orange, ivory, to white and black and even cyan would be colours that would go well when you choose fuchsia as your main colour. Whether it is the decor, to the floral accents to the bridesmaid’s dresses, this colour is a great choice. Indulge; it is your wedding day.

Violets are Blue Wedding Invitations

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Another spin off the romantic poem, “ Roses are Red, Violets are blue, Sugar is Sweet, and So are YOU!”, we bring to you in this instalment, a range of wedding invitations offered by DreamDay Invitations that relate to how you can keep to the theme of ‘violets are blue’.  We will look at how shades of blue and violet can be used for your wedding invitation designs, and which items off the DreamDay Invitations collection are ideal choices that suit this wedding theme. Let’s find out.

When it comes to wedding decor and invitations, a common design element flows and unites them together. Therefore, when in search of such an element, draw inspiration from the likes of your venue, the flowers you are using, and even a picture from an inspiration board. From patterns that are modern to Romanesque, with polka dots or stripes and damask and filigree, or floral accents that feature flowers or flowing line drawings.  Since Violets range from blue and purple, we will use them as a theme for the wedding invitations featured in this instalment.

Blue Wedding Invitations

For those who like the colour and want to make it the highlight of the wedding invite, then you can use a shade of blue which is perfect for you, and add an accent such as a lace trim design on the edges for a classic touch of elegance, like in Bridal Lace. For a rather ornate yet prominent design display, you could also opt for Grand Caress, which features your colour with the design in white. If you would like a modern feel to your wedding invitation, stripes are very in right now, so Candy Stripe would be a good option.  If you also like intricate designs of damask, and you would like a good mash-up, then Silk Cascade would be ideal.

However, for floral accents and designs, the ideal choices of wedding invitations from DreamDay Invitations would be the likes of Island Fantasy, Jewel Mist and Tapestry.

Violet and Purple Wedding Invitations

Much like the blue wedding invitations, the violet and purple wedding invitations you will want similar design elements and accents. Therefore, when it comes to them, the choice of inspiration from garden to beach, floral or rather a period from the ages might be what you want for your wedding theme. Like so, you have floral or garden inspired wedding invitations such as Enchanted Garden, cute little flowers such as Forget Me Not, to a striking display of photographs in your wedding invite with Orchid Obsession to a beautiful floral illustration such as English Rose would be ideal. An adorable lovebird illustration for a garden wedding with Lovebirds Landing would a nice touch too.

Other designs that are classy and elegant include the likes of Autumn Garden, New Dawn and Crest of Love, which feature intricate designs and are beautiful at the same time.  If you would like a vintage chic effect on your wedding invitations, take a look at the likes of Heirloom Chandelier, Moonlight Silhouette and Timeless Tulle.

These sweet wedding invitations are just as sweet as the poem, “roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you…”

Unique Wedding Invitations for a Great Wedding

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

Your wedding date will arrive before you know it. This is one of the most inspiring and memorable days in the life of you and your fiancé. This is one of the reasons that choosing the right wedding invitation to send to your guests.

Unique Wedding Invitations are the first glimpse your family and friends will have as to how the wedding ceremony and reception will be.

Matching the Theme

If you are using a special theme for your wedding, then picking cards that match will make it all the more special. It will get everyone in the mood for that theme, and may even inspire them to dress accordingly. For example, if it is a beach wedding, then you know you won’t be wearing a tux or heels, so choose invitations that reflect a beach setting.

If you have chosen to be married traditionally, in a church with the reception at a special place, then traditional or vintage invitations will reflect this atmosphere. With scroll work, lace and flowery designs, or designs that reflect an era you adore, like Victorian or the 1800’s style, then cards and invitations which emanate this theme are the best.

Consider DIY Invitations

If you want to send your family and friends a wedding invitation that they will always want to keep, try the DIY tool and design your own. Once you receive them, then you can add special notes and additions like bows, flowers, glitter, photographs and other small items to give them that personal touch. If you have time or help, you might consider doing each one differently. This will make them more personal and unique and each guest will feel that they hold a special place in your lives.

Consider the Texture and Color

There are thousands of different card designs available. Making them unique just requires your special touch. After all, you want them to say something about who you two are as a couple and as individuals. Choosing the right texture with the right design can make all the difference in how impressive your wedding invitations are. Order them in embossed, foil or embellished and see how impressed your guests are.

Even though it may sound shallow, some people actually make up their minds if they are going to attend a wedding by the impression they get from the invitation. If it is cheap looking, has spelling or printing errors, is printed on flimsy paper, they assume that the wedding and reception will follow suit.

Talk About It

Many grooms-to-be let the bride-to-be take care of the invitations. You both should still talk about them before a design is chosen. He may have preferences in the printing, colors and designs that are available. Ask for his input. This is one of the most precious events in both your lives so everything should be decided by the both of you.

Look around the website, choose some favorites, and then discuss it in a nice quiet atmosphere where it is just the two of you. Don’t let it become a stressful situation. Go out to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Pick a table or booth off in the corner where you can eat and talk in private, and make it one of the special decisions you two will make together in your new life together.

Classic and traditional wedding themes will vary with each culture and country. It will always be a widely popular choice for many brides and grooms with many cultures to follow the traditions and customs held dear to their own religions and countries.

One current trend at the moment seems to be leaning towards nature and the outdoors.

In the Spring and Summer months, many brides are opting to hold their wedding and reception outdoors in setting such as beaches or gardens, and incorporating a ‘Nature theme’ into their reception decorations, menus, bridal accessories and colours and using colourful seasonal and beautiful native flowers for floral bouquets and table centrepieces.

Wedding invitations in stunning florals, summery beach images, beautiful sunset photographs and garden themes are most definitely a very popular choice for any bride in Australia today.

For Autumn and Winter weddings, wedding invitations can feature rich, glorious darker colours or muted autumn tones using things such decorative grasses, autumn foliage in rich colours and wheat sheaths.

Reception venues can be decorated to match with co-ordinated wedding stationery and table decorations and centrepieces creating a wedding theme that will add warmth and romance to any chilly day.

Invitations can now much more diverse with style as each Bride and Groom try to show a part of their own personality in their invitation and arrangements.

Other areas of wedding planning and trends have changed in the modern day as well.

Wedding Menus are becoming more sophisticated as our access to quality produce, restaurants, gourmet food and talented chefs broadens. Brides are turning away from the established ‘roast chicken or roast beef dinner’ and choosing more stylishly prepared foods for their guests.

And as the modern bride and groom ventures outdoors into nature to recite their vows and love for each other, finger food menus have found their place into a more relaxed wedding reception and gardens parties becoming very popular, at less formal weddings.

Wedding cakes have evolved considerably from the traditional tiered, floral decorated cakes of yesteryear. Imagination is the only limit when it comes to wedding cakes, and all sorts of shapes, colours and styles have emerged to suit any wedding in any setting, whether it be fun and casual or formal and traditional. The conventional fruitcake is being replaced with other tastier options such as carrot cake, chocolate mud or lemon cake. Now cake makers are really showcasing their flair and skills with all sorts of creations and decorations to suit all modern brides. Cupcake towers filled with colourfully decorated individual cupcakes are really ‘IN’ at the moment.

Wedding dresses have become the icon of fashion with modern brides. Moving away from bulky, wide, tulle filled skirts and high neck bodices, to strapless designs, and romantic, ‘Off the shoulder’ styles that are soft and flowing. Also wedding dresses in other colours than white, or with highlight colours in the train and embroidery are becoming popular with Modern brides. Colours of creams and ivory, pinks, champagne, platinum and even red and purple have been seen at many modern weddings.

With wedding flowers, the fresh ‘just picked’ look, tied neatly around the stems with pretty ribbon is now more popular than the time-honoured tightly bound bouquets of the past. The humble romantic rose still remains the most popular wedding flower, however flowers such as lilies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids are leaving their mark at weddings today.
