Carrying through your colour theme.

Are you organising your wedding to ensure that every single item continues your chosen theme, whether its continuing the image of a particular flower, or carrying through a colour? Don't forget to include your wedding stationary in the theme planning. Get everything right at the start and your day can't help but be a resounding success.

Take our 'Wedding Knot' stationary, with a choice of finish and ribbon you can tie this stationary in seamlessly with the other coordinated items in your scheme. This range of stationary is wonderfully romantic and looks sensational. Your invited guests can't fail to be impressed with your choice, especially when they see it is all part of a carefully considered theme or overall 'look'.

You could look at using the same colour ribbon to tie up bouquets and posies, or the floral decorations on the ends of church pews or even the floral arrangements in your chosen wedding venue. A simple consultation with your florist with perhaps a sample of the ribbon will ensure you are coordinated to the hilt.

Are you marrying your childhood sweetheart?

Are you one of those couples who have been in love since school? Was it a case of your eyes meeting across a crowded playground or dining hall? Or have you simply grown up together and now the thought of a life without one another is simply unthinkable?

Having been close since childhood, it is only natural that both families will have grown close. So why not make this shared history a part of your wedding celebration?

Our ‘When you were kids’ wedding invitation will remind everyone of how long you have been together and allow a flood of happy memories from years gone by to come to the fore.

The process of selecting the cutest and most endearing photographs you can find will allow you to forget the stress that accompanies organising your special day, and allow you to relax and cherish your time together even if its only for an evening!

Having your chosen photographs printed in full colour for all to see can't fail to turn out to be the most original wedding invitation your guests are ever likely to receive, so don't be surprised if they resurface on a special wedding anniversary are people are bound to keep them!

Adding Your Personality To Stationary

When it comes to inviting your guests to be a part of your celebrations, make sure they can see by your choice of stationary, that you have made a personal choice, rather than gone for an off the shelf packet of ready to use invitations.

Adding personalisation to your stationary shows that you have paid a lot of attention and invested a great deal of thought into your whole day, starting right at the point of inviting your guests. It also shows that you care enough about these people you have chosen to celebrate your day with to take the time to create your perfect stationary.

Why not create your own verse and have it printed inside each invitation? Sometimes having only the names, date and place of the event inside such a beautiful card can be a disappointment, make your invitations personal and sincere so that they make your guests feel included in the big day, rather than just that they have been requested to attend.

Selecting stationary like 'The Big Day' from our Romantique range, allows you to do just that, allowing you your own unique designer wedding stationary that will add to the overall effect of your big day upon your guests.

Contemporary Designs

So you've decided its time to get married, set a date and now the time comes to send out your invitations. What kind of impression do you want your invitations to make? Do you want to go for the hearts and flowers romantic image, or the more formal, classically entwined golden rings?

Why not consider a more contemporary or designer approach? Use the style of your invitations to set the tone of your whole event. Whether you chose to follow the colour scheme, imagery or include the a verse in your invite that can be read during your service, it is entirely your choice.

Choosing the correct invitation for your celebration can make a difference to the overall impact of your wedding on your guests, and ensure that they remember the day as well as you do.

Take for example our Traditional Roses wedding invitations. The colours of the roses could be carried through into the bride's bouquet, the table centres and any ribbons or favours used around the reception room. You could even use the colour scheme for table cloths, balloons and even the bridesmaids dresses.

From one simple, classic yet contemporary image you have been given a large number of design options to choose from that could really define your theme.

Medieval themed weddings

Many people these days look to recapture the romance of by gone days by holding a wedding with a medieval theme. Perhaps they want a Robin Hood themed wedding where he marries his Maid Marion, or they are simply harking back to the days of the damsel in distress being rescued by her knight in shining armour and being whisked away for a romantic wedding in a wooded glade?

With so much to think about in organising an event of this nature it would be understandable if the style of the wedding invitations was overlooked, or perhaps given thought to only as a last minute thing. After all where do you start looking for an invitation that fits in with the whole renaissance theme, when you are going to spend such a long time looking for the perfect dress and matching wardrobe from the groom and wedding party?

Well this is where we can help you. We have a selection of stationary in our store that caters to those looking for something different, something unusual, either as a reflection of their own quirky style, or to compliment a solid theme.

For example we have a 'Medieval Wedding Invitation' that could be just what you are looking for to compliment your renaissance theme.

Civil Partnerships

It has taken a while for polite society to warm to the idea, and even accept the concept of 'Civil Partnerships'. But, with thanks to a pioneering couple who were 'married' in the Netherlands in 2001, the idea has gradually spread and become accepted across the western world.

The United Kingdom legalised these civil ceremonies in 2006 and since then the number of couples opting to solidify their relationship in this 'official' manner has increased.

However, some couples have found it difficult to organise an event, or find suitable items to be included in such a ceremony, that do not in some way reflect the mixed sex relationships of a traditional marriage, ultimately depersonalising the whole event for the happy couple and taking away a little of its sparkle.

Tailored options are available however, and here we believe everything related to the big day should be a reflection of the couple involved. Take for example our 'Love is' range of invitations. These lovely invitations can be personalised to met your exact needs, allowing you to add a touch of the personal to what can sometimes be a bland, uninspiring card, especially when most invitations cater only to the traditional market.

If you are looking for something inspired, or simply want to make your invitations a piece of original creative work, we can assist you in finding a match to compliment your whole wedding theme.

Weddings Abroad

These days many people are choosing to marry abroad and who could blame them, sun, sea & sand perfect. And the chances of being rained on are very slim!

It sounds ideal doesn't it, but what about all the people you want to share your happy moment with? Most people choose to celebrate this romantic occasion with a reception back at home, this way they can share this special moment with everyone they are close to.

But of course you don't want them to miss out on your wedding day so why not invite them to the reception via a postcard from where you are getting married from!

Here at Wedding Invitation UK we have a fantastic range of getting married abroad cards, from location postcards to gorgeously themed Up and Away invitations.
