Red wedding invitations shine your day
Wedding invites are always the first impression people get about your wedding and they speak a lot about the wedding and even about the personalities of the couples. Hence, you should take full use of the chance and try your best to make the invites charming and fabulous.
Red
Red wedding invitations aren’t just for Christmas nuptials or Valentine’s Day ceremonies. In fact, this color can say so much about a bride. What will it say about you?
You’re elegant – Metallic, ivory or white invites trimmed in a shade of red or printed with red text evoke timeless style, making it a perfect choice for vintage weddings or formal ceremonies. Use red-hued wedding stationery and your guests will know to expect a classy and dignified affair.
You’re passionate – Whether it’s the excitement of finding your one true soul mate after years of searching, or the ardor of a first love, red wedding invitations will convey the passion you and your spouse feel towards each other. A solid-colored paper is perfect for giving guests a glimpse of your love’s intensity. If solid red stationery is too heavy for your taste, consider adding the outline of a red heart to classic ivory or white invitation paper.
You’re bold – No color says “look at me!” quite like red. Even if you don’t typically have a “me” personality, this is your wedding day, so don’t be bashful about calling attention to yourself. Invites that incorporate bold shades make an unmistakable statement that this is your day.
You’re happy – Red has long been the color of joy in China. It’s no surprise, then, that Chinese families typically use the vibrant color in wedding ceremonies. You don’t need to be of Chinese descent, though, to shout your happiness to the world.
Pink
This combination of the innocence of white and the passion of red is an ideal wedding day color. Use pink wedding invitations and your guests are likely to get these impressions:
You’re romantic – Lush pink wedding invitations can pull guests into the romance of your relationship. While pink is suited for any love relationship, soft shades of the color are especially appropriate for nuptials uniting childhood sweethearts or first loves.
You’re feminine – As women, we often want–and are frequently expected–to do it all, from shattering glass ceilings to raising kids to be productive members of society. Sometimes, though a girl just wants to be a girl. Wedding stationery that uses this girly color are the perfect way to start off one of the most feminine and formal events of your life. Go all out with pink stationery or be more subtle by incorporating delicate pink borders or ribbons into a neutral paper.
You’re bold – While baby doll pinks are fine for some, other brides prefer to make a statement with their pink invites. Yes, pink wedding invitations can say “look at me!” too. Use bright fuchsia borders or hot pink ribbons to get your guests’ attention. You can also make invites pop by combining these stronger shades with more subtle pink tones.
Get the best of both worlds
Don’t let yourself get boxed into picking entirely red wedding invitations or pure pink wedding invitations. Choose to incorporate both colors and, in a single stroke, you’ll come across as passionate, bold, feminine and romantic.
