120 With This Ring Inviting guests to your wedding usually generates plenty of excitement and gives everyone a first hint of the style and theme you have chosen. Many wedding dates are set months, even a year to 18months in advance, so “save the date” stationery has become a new pre-invitation phase of announcing the event. CONTEMPORARY The digital age is part of everyday life for most modern couples, so chances are they, or their stationery designer will be using it to plan their wedding and invite their tech-savvy friends. There are no etiquette rules for style, words or format, so the invitation may be as formal or colloquial as you desire. It may also be creative and interactive. ELECTRONIC Some couples will choose to go completely online with website information, paper-less invitations and RSVP’s by email, saving both time and money on print and post. BUT for those older guests who may not be familiar with apps and social media, create a few conventional invitations to send to them. OTHER ALTERNATIVES • For a vintage wedding, order a custom-made stamp for use on your cards or paper. • Press flowers for an eco- designed invitation on recycled paper. • Use the exceptional selection of scrapbooking products to decorate and personalise your stationery or choose the range of pretty scrapbooking papers and coordinating cards. Depending on your requirements and your budget, your stationery may include a range of products: • Save the Date Cards • Wedding Invitation & RSVP • Hens or Bucks Night Notification • Bridal Shower Invitations • Order of Service • Reception Place Cards • Thank You Cards There are many options available for creating memorable stationery whether they are traditional or contemporary or electronic. These days, anything on paper is considered traditional, but while technology has taken over much of the modern world, curiously there’s never been a greater selection of decorative stationery! Allow several months to choose your design and ensure the invitations are printed and available to send to your guests 6 weeks before the big day. Invitations are available from specialist designers, stationers, department stores, craft outlets, card shops, bridal boutiques, printers, artists and on the internet. Depending on your budget you can have your wedding stationery completely custom designed, printed onto pre-purchased cards or created from templates online. There is a stunning variety of paper products in many shades, grades and textures plus overlays, inserts and embellishments to customise your selection. Most ready-made invitations come with matching envelopes, while custom-designs may require special envelopes. Your invitations can be almost any size and shape, flat, scrolled or an open card style, but remember that it may cost more to post envelopes that are non-standard in format. For small numbers of invitations the most cost-effective method is digital printing. Letterpress printing is popular again, as well as foil-stamping which provides a metallic finish. Choose your font size and style carefully so that it is easily read and looks attractive. Invitations are usually sent by the hosts of the wedding – traditionally the bride’s parents. Proof read your stationery samples before going to print. Ensure all details are correct – names, spelling, date, time, location, dress code and how to RSVP! Order a few extra invitations as spares in case of last minute changes or mistakes and if you want additional stationery such as order of service, place cards, RSVP’s or thank you cards, order them all at the same time to avoid delays or extra costs.
With This Ring 121 Flowers are the ultimate bridal accessory combining visual impact with fragrance and romance. But even the simplest bouquet needs to be chosen with care and created with skill so that it complements your gown, stands out in the photos and reflects your taste whether traditional, classic, bold or innovative. Consider the style of your gown when you are choosing the shape of your bouquet. The popularity of particular flowers depends on fashions and seasons and the vast variety of blooms, colours and effects means every bouquet is individual. However there are five main shapes that florists use to develop bouquet arrangements. THE POSY is traditionally round in shape and uses flowers of equal size to maintain the shape. Alternatively modern posies feature flowers grouped in a structured bunched effect. The original posies contained sweet smelling flowers and herbs to ward off germs and diseases! Modern posies can be made small enough for a little flower girl and are ideal for shorter stemmed spring flowers and popular miniature roses. THE TEARDROP bouquet is a floral classic. Essentially a posy at the top, the addition of a trail replicates the teardrop shape. A variety of flowers and greenery can be used, with blooms being wired to hold them in place. Teardrops can be large or small to suit the individual bride and the style of her gown and a combination of different flowers and colours can be used effectively. THE SHEAF or arm spray uses long stemmed blooms bound together with ribbon or natural fibres like flax or greenery. Held along the forearm or hanging downwards from the hand, roses, lilies, gladioli, gerberas and orchids are popular flowers for a sheaf arrangement. THE HAND TIED bouquet with a “just picked” look is extremely popular for both modern and vintage weddings. The flowers are not wired and look natural, the stems are visible and the gathered flowers are loosely tied with ribbon. Popular versions include roses, peonies, sweet peas, freesias and ranunculas.
