Say It With Words
| Q | What are popular wedding stationery designs this year? |
| A | Amy says: I would say the main trends would be uplifting pastel shades and maximalist décor. Dusty blue tones, soft pinks, delicate lilacs and pops of yellow and fuchsia look fantastic mixed with a foundation of multi-dimensional greenery. The Pantone Colour of the Year for 2023, Peach Fuzz will still be a popular addition to any summer wedding colour palette. The bold and maximalist decor is making a comeback with whimsical and playful designs - think colour blocking, hand-painted pieces and organic lines as well as personalised stationery. The monochromatic minimalist look is timeless and elegant yet modern. Monochromatic themes are still incredibly popular, but feel more elevated and chic, embodying a less is more aesthetic. Ribbons and Bows are a popular trend emerging from almost all areas of the wedding industry, from bridalwear, stationery, styling and floral design. Butterflies are also a playful way to add personality to a summer wedding with bespoke butterfly name cards that are guaranteed to delight your wedding guests |

| Q | We want to design our wedding stationery, can you help? |
| A | Lauren Daisy says: Going bespoke and telling a story through your wedding stationery is something I strive for in my business. I believe that your wedding should represent you both as an individual and as a couple. A great way to do this is to set the tone with your stationery showing your bespoke design and hinting to your guests about what's to come. This isn't a process that can happen overnight, I recommended that once you have booked your venue and secured the date, you should then book your stationery supplier. I work with my couples more than four to eight weeks in advance to complete a bespoke stationery suite. This includes: - A zoom call or a meet-up to discuss ideas and thoughts and create a mood board. - My designing time as I hand-draw all my illustrations on my iPad. - Couples will then have the opportunity to make any changes to the text, font or even the design itself. - Once the couple is happy, their design will go to print. - I'll receive the print items back and add finishing touches to them, this may be a wax seal, ribbon or simply assembling them |
