Wedding invitation trends 2010

The fashion runways provide fresh ideas and trends for upcoming wedding and event invitations including graphic prints in black & white, creamy neutrals, rich teal and dramatic red, plus plenty of romance for the upcoming season.

Bold, hot colors are giving way to neutral wedding invitations in shades of champagne, pale meadow green, frost blue, creamy vanilla or soft magnolia pink, bringing their sophisticated elegance to this seasons announcements. Adorn invitations with beautiful metal charms for a romantic feel or sparkling crystal brads for a modem touch.

Modern black & white designs are hot on the runway and the graphic designs make a contemporary, yet classic statement. We love the invitations featuring elegant black and white fine paper sashes, available in modern and classic patterns from Formal-Invitations.com. The 100% recycled fine paper sashes pair beautifully with neutrals, tropical brights or rich traditional colors and create luxurious layers that are wrapped like a beautiful gift.

Teal blue wedding invitations are also of-the-moment, a color both cool and rich, showing up in the latest fashions. Teal is gorgeous paired with crisp white and sparkling silver embellishments.

Dramatic red wedding invitations in shades of bright poppy and rich scarlet are a growing trend and the gorgeous hue is fabulous paired with gold and black adornments.

Romance is back in a big way with lovely, beautiful patterns delicately layered with translucent vellum. Fabulous lace wraps or intricate charm embellishments would also make enchanting romantic wedding invitations.

Earth-friendly wedding invitations will always be the smart choice in invitations and hopefully the trend will continue. Look for tree-free and fine papers and envelopes made from 100% post consumer fibers.
