Here come the trends…

For most girls, their wedding day is definitely one of those special events when they strive for everything to be perfect and memorable. If you’re one of them and you happen to be planning your wedding, then you’re probably wondering what you should be looking for, what’s hot, hip and trendy. These are the latest trends of the season:

• The hottest neutral is a shade of gray – whether it is slate, pewter or silver.

• Pocket invitations, which have slots to hold the extras like RSVP cards, direction cards, itineraries, etc., are very popular.

• Look for lavender, plum, raspberry and other shades of purple. Pair it with contrasting bold colors such as lime green or orange and everyone will be talking.

• Lace patterns printed in not-so-usual shades are making a big statement.

• Letterpress printing is hot. Letterpress combined with offset (flat) printing even hotter.

• Recycled materials, vegetable-based inks, and sustainable printing processes… Eco-chic is here to stay!

• Palm Beach “look” influence on design. This trend blends bright colors, preppy elements, and coastal motifs. Look out for tropical florals, palm trees, flamingos, and shells. So southern Florida!

• Affordable trends: chocolate-filled favor boxes, boxed imprintables, magnets, and stickers.

• Lattice patterns – from Moorish tile patterns to fancy trellises and basketweaves.

• Details, details, and more details! Sparkly crystals, patterned envelope liners, and custom envelope seals will add the final touch to a classic invitation or announcement.

Make sure to incorporate at least a couple of the latest trends, and your wedding day will surely be a special one!
