Incorporating Paper and Card into Weddings

wedding marriage certificate

 

Whether you are a Wedding Planner whose job it is to give the special couple everything they ever dreamed of, a Printer who has been allocated the task of producing the most beautiful wedding stationery on the market or the Bride and Groom to be, who wish to do it all for themselves for a more personalised wedding, the paper, card and envelopes that you choose for your creations are very important. Depending on the theme and colour scheme of the wedding will limit colour and style choices but there's still an awful lot of choice out there. Invitations, guest lists, name places, order of service booklets, thank you cards, favors and guest books to name a few are just a selection of the paper and card crafted items required for a wedding. So here's our pick of favourite products for weddings.

Classic White Wedding

White is the most traditional wedding colour there is. Used to symbolise purity, particularly of the woman, white is the most common, formal choice of wedding stationery. White Invitations, Name Cards etc add a simple yet sophisticated feel to a wedding.

If you are wanting a high quality card that is smooth, silky to touch with great printing ability with inkjet and laser printers then maybe our Silky Smooth material would be the perfect choice.

Or perhaps our Swift white paper and card? It's smooth and soft surface gives an elegant and sophisticated appearance at reasonable prices.

Looking for something a little bit different? something that stands out from the plain white cards but still like the idea of white as the main colour. Well how about one of our textured materials? Our White Linen textured paper and card is a stunning material with a linear criss cross effect of woven linen. Suitable for many types of printing and looks very sophisticated. Also available in Ivory which is also a subtle yet traditional and popular wedding colour.

Feeling like you would rather have something a little bit edgier, but keeping in with the white style? The Hammer effect card with a subtle yet effective bumpy surface and crisp white colour could be perfect. Or perhaps the Cumulus Card with it's felt textured surface would be a preferred option for a traditional wedding with a subtle quirky element.

All our Apollo Envelopes are perfect for sealing invites, favours and thank you notes to guests. Made from great quality 100gsm white paper with a gummed flap these envelopes can be easily personalised and decorated however you wish or left plain for simplicity.

Shiny Weddings

What better excuse than a wedding do you need for a bit of shine, sparkle and glamour? Whether you want to stand out, remain understated or anything in between, these styles are all obtainable including a bit of sparkle.

Take our Stardream paper and card for example. Stunning shimmery pearlescent material in a selection of subtle and vibrant colours. The pearlescent effect suggests splendour and glamour that are often expected at weddings without looking tacky and cheap. There is a pearlescent white available in this range if you're intending to stick with traditional colours, however colour themed weddings are all the range at the moment so amongst to stardream range there are a selection of beautiful colours to choose from too. Coral is a favourite with Rose, Kunzite and Opal not far behind.

The Stargazer range of pearlescent card at first for paper is a lower priced alternative to the stardream however the number of colours is limited to white or ivory. Both of which are stunning contemporary colours for a wedding theme with a gorgeous pearl effect glistening surface.

Spectrum pearlescent envelopes are also a crowd favourite and look gorgeous for sealing invitations and thank you cards. Available in C6, C5 and 155 x 155mm and a choice of 4 colours these envelopes are top quality and will add effortless elegance and class without paying 'through the roof' prices. Whilst these envelopes are not an exact match to the stardream or stargazer, some are particularly close whilst other colours look great together.

Bright Weddings

If the theme for your wedding is something a little brighter, with bolder colours and eyecatching designs for a more fun and modern style wedding, the selection of colours from our Rapid Colour range is a vast one. With pastel tints through to bright, vibrant colours this range could add a burst of quirky colour into anybody's special day.

Coloured envelopes are available across a few ranges, including our Spectrum and Premium Colour envelopes, all available at affordable prices, in various quantities and sizes and are all great quality envelopes.
