Match quality invitation stationery to the color of your wedding dress – white, ivory, cream or ecru. Formal weddings have a heavy, rich, elegant feel to them and the wedding invitations should reflect that. Expensive, extravagant touches such as embossing or engraving suit invitations for a formal, traditional wedding.

 

Destination Wedding

Wedding Invitations full of rose motifs just clash with images of palm trees. For a destination wedding in a tropical location, keep the invitation design simple and choose exotic colors such as shell pink rather than rose and turquoise rather than burgundy. Of course, if your wedding destination is Disney World and the tone for the ceremony is whimsical, by all means go for Mickey and Minnie and red and black, or Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty in dreamy storybook colors.
