Invitation Ideas for your Spring Wedding

With Christmas right around the corner, it may seem a bit strange to be talking about spring already, but when you're planning your wedding you've definitely got to plan ahead.

Spring has always been my favourite season. There's just something in the air that hints to hopeful new beginnings. The beautiful florals and longer daylight hours certainly help too, so it's no wonder that so many of you choose to get married at that time of year.

Now's the time that I would normally be telling you to make sure you get your invitations ordered as early as possible to avoid the January rush, but this year has been a little different (to put it politely). If you are looking to order your invitations soon, I thought I'd share some inspiration for you from my house collection.

Beatrice

This design was originally created for a styled shoot, but I loved it too much not to include in the current collection. The watercolour florals are the main feature here with lots of white, cream and hints of peach too. The design features some of my favourite spring flowers too (ranunculus and white anemone). This suite pairs well with a pale peach envelope, but would also look lovely with sage green or even a more neutral colour like grey.

Hermia

This suite was inspired by Hermia and Lysander from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and features delicate watercolour botanicals to give an ethereal feel. The colour palette of this design has been kept simple, so can work with lots of different colour schemes. Like the Beatrice design, it can be paired with lots of different envelope colours but sage green and peach seem to work really well.

Rosalind

Another Shakespeare inspired suite but this time from one of my favourite comedies, 'As You Like It'. Rosalind was one of my first designs back in 2017, and was so popular that I've held onto it ever since (although it has since had a little update). The watercolour botanicals featured are perfect for anyone having a greenery-heavy wedding, or just for anyone that's not entirely sure on their colour scheme just yet.

Anne

Eucalyptus is generally popular all year round when it comes to weddings, but there's just something about the muted pastels tones in this design that says 'spring' to me. I love this design when paired with blush envelopes but it really does look lovely with grey too.

Hopefully this will have given you some inspiration for your spring wedding stationery! If you're a little unsure of what to do about ordering your invitations, given the current situation (and understandably so) – make sure you check out my last blog post that outlines the different options available to you. And if you'd like to see pricing or get in touch about any of the designs above, you can do so here.
