written by Isabella - Monday, May 14, 2012

Every bride wants her wedding to be remembered by her guests who attend it, and some of them want to leave an impression from the first introduction of the special day, being the wedding invites. One way of leaving a great and lasting impression would be to make your invites truly elegant and grand, and one way of doing that would be to go ahead with silver wedding invitations.

Use of Silver and It’s Meaning

The age-old meaning of silver is said to be of ‘moon energy’, while it also represents connotations of intuition, imagination, and illusion, as well as female power, femininity and mystery. Silver has always been known to bring a life sense of life into attire, a room and whatever medium it is used on. A little touch of silver here or there makes up for a lot of sparkles and pizzazz that would take more effort in design and colour. Create an impact with use of silver, in the form of brocade, accessories and more.

How You Can Use Silver in Your Wedding Invitations

Colour

Silver is defined as a metallic shade that resembles gray, however in art form, unless it has a sheen in the paper itself, it is a shade of gray. However, use of a sheen derives it more to the actually colour.

Deep Silver on the other hand is as the name suggests a deeper shade of the original colour, with more darkness and solidity in the colour. The sheen in the colour itself is still present, if the paper being used holds a sheen.

Antique Silver represents the silver that has been made from the time 1890s, and the appeal and look to silver items which holds a darkened and aged touch to the silver colour base.

Classic Silver on the other hand is a fusion of silver and champagne tone being mixed together to a lighter effect to the colour.

Trimmings

These can be anything from a border, to a little silver ribbon or lace being used on your wedding invitations. Another way you could go about it, to apply silver glitter glue to a design element on your invite to add that sparkle.

Accessories and Embellishments

This usually means to say some form of buckle, diamante stud, beading, and more. Adding such forms of accessories and embellishments as a focal piece, you are bringing in attention with a sense of class to the entire ensemble. You can add a ribbon or lace in the other colours of your choosing, being the complementary colours, to smooth and blend things altogether.

Foil Printing

You can add a foil print in silver to a design element you wish, be it a small design, or a pattern. Make sure that you do not overcrowd the wedding invite with too much foil printing and keep it simple and elegant.
