BURGUNDY WEDDING INVITATIONS
Elegant Burgundy Wedding Invitation Ideas & Styling Inspiration
Many weddings ago, "marsala" was known as the wine or merlot colour. This year, marsala and burgundy have resurfaced and can be seen on wedding invitations, decorations, flowers, and bridesmaids' dresses. Other popular names include merlot and maroon. These rich tones are often paired with floral designs but can also be used simply with belly bands or printed text.
Burgundy works beautifully with navy blue, forest green, or for the bold, burgundy cardstock with gold foil script. Choosing the right wedding invitation design and balancing burgundy or marsala can feel challenging, but there are many elegant options. Simple wedding invitations—flat cards without layers, ribbons, or embellishments—can still look sophisticated and perfect. They can feature printed text, a border, or subtle design elements and can be digitally or foil printed depending on your budget.
