The Ultimate Top 10 Stylish Wedding Invites: Wedding Stationery

How are you my lovelies? Needing a bit of wedding eye candy to get you through to the mid week? Guest posting today are the über talented wedding stylists Knot & Pop and boy, do these lovely ladies have great taste. Here’s their Ultimate Top 10 Stylish Wedding Invites. Enjoy!!

At Knot & Pop we have a total obsession with invite design and wedding stationery. The invite is the first glimpse that guests get of your big day, so we love invitations that set the scene and begin to tell the story of what’s in store. With your wedding theme decided, reflect this in the invitation design so that all elements blend beautifully together. With a carefully considered design, the invitation can then spin off into a gorgeous set of wedding stationery where place names, table plans and table numbers team together to create a stationery suite to swoon over.

Just like deciding on your preferred fabric for your dress, there is an array on paper on offer that puts a different take on a design. Go for a weighted kraft paper if you’re opting for a country chic wedding, or play with print finishes with white-­‐on-­‐white embossing for a more minimal and modern wedding. Paper and print are major K&P crushes, so we’ve compiled our current Top Ten of wedding invitations to help get your inspiration underway. In no particular order, as whittling it down to ten was difficult enough!

1. The Effloresce Collection by Bliss & Bone mixes florals with ink blots to create a graphic grace that feels totally fresh and luxurious.

4. We think this is genius. Mash Design took the concept of ‘growing old together’ and produced a photographic invitation that is highly personal and highly hysterical.

5. We love photographer Edyta Szyszlo. She is one stylish lady and for her wedding Save the Date invitation she created a hidden surprise message, pressed in gold foil. We love a bespoke envelope liner, and Edyta created a whole family of them with gold foil and repeat scallop prints splashed across the insides of envelopes.

6. A beautiful poster of Hawaii, sealed with a wax heart stamp – yes please! A crazy amount of paper points are given for the calligraphy, the wave­‐printed envelope, the pull out concertina for the travel deets and the total sense of fun and adventure that this invitation creates.
