While wedding traditions do not typically change, each season unveils the latest trends that many
couples will incorporate into their event. Many brides-to-be discover unique creations embrace
romantic inspirations while providing a dash of modern flair reflected in today's most popular
trends. According to Wedding Paper Divas , the top trends in 2008 include:
Non-traditional shapes: Many couples are opting for wedding invitations in non-traditional shapes. Gone are the days
choosing between 5" x 7" rectangles - now couples can select square and tea length cards.
Bright Colors & Unique Color Combinations: Couples are incorporating vibrant colors and unique color combinations
into their weddings like yellow. Brides are also creating unique color combinations such as turquoise and lime. These
colors are not only seen on invitations, but also on wedding place cards and programs, and incorporated throughout the
reception.
Time-Honored Monograms: Every year the bridal industry wonders if monograms will go out of style, but they remain
as popular as ever. Whether on save the date cards, wedding invitations or wedding thank you cards, classic monograms
are still au courant.
Mother Nature's Finest: Wedding ensembles inspired by natural elements, such as simple leaf and flower motifs, are in
vogue and suit weddings of any season.
Modern Toile: Toile inspiration has leapt off of our upholstery and curtains and is making a contemporary comeback on
many top-selling stationery designs. These classic and highly intricate scenes designed with unusual colors are more chic
than ever before.
Something Old, Something New: Brides love options and many combine modern designs with traditional stationery
elements like ecru paper and letterpress printing.
Get Cultured: More couples are adding a little ethnic flavor to their stationery, whether through cultural motifs,
meaningful quotes or relevant color combinations.
Wedding Websites: Wedding websites are continuing to grow in popularity and are becoming more elaborate than
ever. These pages include details about the couple, their courtship, and their wedding. Couples are encouraging their
guests to read more about their event or even RSVP online by adding the URL to their wedding website directly onto
bridal shower invitations and wedding invites. Check out my sample on MyWedding.com
