Incorporating Paper and Card into Weddings
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?
