Oopsie! Wedding Stationery Mishaps That Slip Under the
Radar Way Too Often!
I have extensive experience collaborating with wedding planners and engaged couples to create exquisite wedding stationery. Throughout my years in this industry, I have witnessed numerous instances where couples’ dreams have been shattered in the pursuit of a “flawless wedding day ” only to be steered in the wrong direction.
Having had ample experience in designing wedding stationery, I’ve also encountered some rather unfortunate examples along the way. As your dedicated designer, it is my responsibility, my purpose, to enlighten you about certain stationery blunders I’ve observed in the past. Allow me to reveal five honest truths that your wedding planner may be too polite to mention when you initially share your “dream design”.
5 Hard Truths About Your Wedding Design
1. You’re Basic!:
Many brides often fixate on replicating what they see on social media or Pinterest. However, remember that your wedding is a celebration of your unique love story. Ensure that your stationery reflects the special qualities that make your love truly one-of-a-kind. For instance, if you have a fondness for the moon, consider incorporating some lunar vibes into your stationery.
2. Lame Paper Choice:
The choice of paper is often overlooked in the stationery planning process, yet it holds great potential to enhance your design. Consider the various textures and colors available, and be sure to request samples to appreciate the tactile differences. For a wedding with an elegant theme, a soft and thick card stock can elevate the overall feel, exuding a sense of luxury. Pay attention to these details to create a truly high-end experience.
3. Inconsistent Stationery with Your Theme:
Your wedding theme and chosen colors reflect your personal preferences and style. It’s important for your stationery to align with this theme to create a cohesive and visually pleasing experience. Mismatched stationery can be confusing and may give your wedding a disjointed look. For instance, if you have a fall-themed wedding with rustic elements, incorporate these elements into your stationery, such as using fall colors and rustic motifs like autumn flowers.
4. Lackluster Invitation:
Your wedding invitation holds immense significance as it sets the tone for your special day. It serves as the initial impression, so it is crucial to ensure that it reflects your desired theme and includes all the necessary information. If your wedding has unique elements, it is essential to convey them through your invitations.
5. Don't Delay:
Avoid procrastinating when it comes to starting your stationary process. It’s crucial to allocate ample time for initial design, revisions, and printing. This ensures that you have enough time to perfect your designs, account for any additional printing needs, and create a realistic timeline.
