We have to admit it – we are style-obsessed over here at Hello!Lucky. We love seeking inspiration from all over world and from every medium imaginable, from vintage packaging to old spurs to haute couture in pursuit of creating the perfect custom invitations.
Plain and simple, style and good design give enjoyment and meaning to our lives. What we wear, how we decorate our homes, the objects we surround ourselves with, and what we write on (of course!) all contribute to the day-to-day experience of living. Our aesthetic environment shapes our psyche - great style and design can shift our outlook from stressed out to serene.
A wedding is a (sometimes daunting!) blank canvas for expressing your personal style and creating a joyful experience for your closest friends and family. The pleasure of that experience will be emotional, to be sure, but it will also be aesthetic – from the flowers, to the dress, to the invitations, and the photographs. As such, the wedding should have a design or a style to make it cohesive, positive, beautiful, and unforgettable.
Wedding invitations are the first step to creating the style of your wedding day. They are the first thing that guest will receive, and first impressions do matter. The invitation will indicate whether the event is formal or casual, what guests should wear (your guests, appropriately attired, will become immortalized in your wedding photos!), and what to generally expect from the experience. And, of course, they will showcase your fabulous taste!
Wedding invitations should be approached thoughtfully and imaginatively. Feel free to look far and wide for inspiration– from fashion to textiles to home décor. Reach beyond traditional wedding resources, and find something truly meaningful to guide your vision. Once you’ve decided on your style and theme, focus on quality design and craftsmanship, which is all in the materials and details. With wedding invitations, as with most things, great quality comes at a price or (if you are inspired to do-it-yourself) through a labor of love. The key is thoughtful consideration in creating a truly special experience for your guests.
One the wedding invitations are in the mail, you can turn your attention to styling the rest of the wedding day – it’s all in the special detailed touches, everything from flowers to food to favors. Keep these design elements in mind as you’re picking out our invitations and choosing vendors. Stay focused, organized, and seek help from experts if you’re feeling overwhelmed…it may sound clichéd but the wedding day you create truly could be the best day of your life!
