Wedding Jewelry and Jewelry Gifts

First of all, decide just how much pink you wish to include in your wedding stationery. Let’s say that you are having a traditional formal wedding, right down to the classic pearl bridal jewelry. Your invitations should reflect this, and the most formal invitations are very restrained with little to no color. This does not mean that you cannot add a hint or accent of pink to your suite of stationery, however.

One idea is to create a traditional engraved invitation using a deep gray ink, which is less harsh than black, and therefore more of a complement to pink. You can add your touch of pink color, as well as some character, to your invitations in the form of a custom envelope lining. Choose one that combines muted tones of gray and pink in an elegant scroll design for the most elegant effect.

Pink can also be used in a very cheerful manner. If you are a dyed-in-the-wool preppy bride, decked out in a classic dress with pearl bridal jewelry, you will surely want to have some pink in your stationery. A great look would be to have your thank you notes created from Bermuda or azalea pink cotton rag paper, embellished with a kelly green monogram. These notecards will look so great that you will want to have one box made up in your maiden name for all pre-wedding correspondence, and another set made with your married name, to make writing all of those post-wedding thank you notes a fun task.

If you are having a destination wedding, you can began by selecting a tropical motif to carry throughout your wedding stationery. An oversized letterpress hibiscus flower printed down the left side of the save-the-date cards and the invitations would be stunning. Use a bright pink or magenta ink on a rich ivory paper for a look that is both chic and tropical at the same time.

If you love modern design, pair a vivid shade of pink with a hot orange for unique contemporary wedding stationery. Square shaped invitations will look more modern than the traditional rectangular form, so that is a good place to start. Go with a bold orange ink in letterpress or flat printing on the bright pink paper. The lettering should be done in a clean sans-serif style, perhaps even in all capital letters. This is an invitation that will make a strong impression, and will definitely give your guests a peek at your wedding style.
