Most people start on their wedding planning as soon as they get engaged and if you have just recently become engaged, then ‘Congratulations’ to you and your fiancé. The essence of the initial stages of planning for the wedding involves figuring out a date, where some couple opt to send out Save the Date Cards, the venue and the guest list. Now, even for you to send out the Save the Date cards for the wedding, you should have a good idea on who you are going to invite, via wedding invitation, so that you don’t face any embarrassment later on when reviewing the guests you sent out your save the date cards and the list that you want to send out your wedding invitations to.
Regardless, some couples opt to not send out save the date cards, maybe due budget constraints, or purely to make their wedding invitations a hit, and one way that you can do so is with illustrated wedding invitations that are the talk of the industry. There are many reasons why you a couple would choose to go with illustrations for your wedding invitations, based on their inspiration or even because they just like the look of it all. If you are inspired by your venue, for example, if it’s at the beach, in your backyard or a garden or even at a hall, you can draw your inspiration from the details, from the seashells, to the flowers, to the birds and scenery and even design elements such as structures and so forth, to make your illustrated wedding invitations a true hit with the invitees.
Based on the inspirations and maybe even the theme of the wedding, you can plan out how the wedding invite masterpiece will come to be. You have several options, you can choose a professional invitations retailer, such as DreamDay Invitations and rifle through their collections to find the right one for you, or you could opt for the DIY wedding invitations route and have the illustrations either drawn separately and printed on or have them hand painted on each and every wedding invitation. Whichever way you choose, you are assured of a wonderful result.
There are numerous ways in which the illustration can be done, either professionally or DIY, and those would involve the usual printing route to screen printing, and of course painting with watercolours or your choice of material. What you are striving for with these illustrated wedding invitations is creativity mingled with uniqueness, and I believe you’ve hit the mark.
