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.

Summer is a great time for weddings. It’s sunny, it’s bright and it’s warm, and more importantly people relate happiness to this time of year, where the sun shines brightly and everyone finds cheer.  So, why not opt for a summer wedding, and in turn start up your fantastic summer theme with bright and cheerful summer wedding invitations.

With the warmth of the sun in summer many couples are drawn to a beach wedding. It’s a wonderful and romantic setting for a summer ceremony, with waves lapping the white sandy shores and cool breezes from the ocean creating the magical atmosphere for the blissful union of two people in love.

Summer weddings can be more colourful than any other time of the year, and with DreamDay Invitations you can choose from the hundreds of options available in our amazing range of summer inspired wedding invitations. They can be bright, vibrant and  distinctive and or course featuring imagery from the beautiful white sandy beaches of  Australia. Or choose flowers and blooms, or just go for something white and plain, just as long as you find them charming and graceful, and most importantly beautiful to the eye.

Some colours that couples have chosen in the past include various shades of turquoise, citrus green, sunset shades of oranges, pinks and magenta, or pretty pastels, or the colours of the rainbow all give a warm feeling of summer. With much to go with, these colours have the ability to lighten up a room and truly compliment the theme of the wedding, and can be used from the wedding invitations, for the ceremony and through the reception decor.

As mentioned before, summer weddings are very often held outdoors, at the beach or maybe out in the gardens alongside nature, and what better way to embed that summer wedding feeling into your wedding plans than with a glimpse of what’s to come with summer wedding invitation designs. Use flowers such as Roses, Cherry Blossoms, Chrysanthemums and more that would reflect the garden wedding theme, and the likes of tropical flowers such as Orchids, Frangipani, and Lilies, would blend wonderfully in a beach wedding. You can incorporate many varied themes, images and embellishments into your summer wedding invitations to make them your own.
