WEDDING INVITATIONS BY COLOUR
BLUE WEDDINGS CAN BRING VIBRANCY AND DRAMA TO YOUR BIG DAY
The notion of having something blue at a wedding has been with us for centuries. Yet, we don't always take full advantage of blue in our colour schemes.
This has changed over the last 18 months or so. Brides have gone from adding a touch of blue in an accessory to fully embracing the colour in their palettes and themes. Iif you like the idea of a blue wedding, you need to start by finding the right tone of blue.

WHAT SHADE OF BLUE IS BEST FOR YOUR WEDDING?
Finding the right blue can be a tough choice as there are so many gorgeous schemes available. The tone of blue can make all the difference when choosing your theme for the wedding. We can see a lot of options out there in turquoise and similar vibrant shades of blue. However, many brides have leaned towards a dustier blue in recent years. Let's take a look at the potential of each style so you can choose the perfect option for your wedding day.
TURQUOISE BLUE, AQUA BLUE AND TEAL WEDDINGS ARE A GREAT CHOICE FOR SUMMER AND BEACH WEDDINGS
When you look at turquoise, what do you see? Like many brides-to-be, you might be transported to a tropical beach, a romantic coast honeymoon somewhere besides an inviting sea. That is why turquoise, aqua and teal shades are timeless at beach weddings. They work perfectly in contrast to the sand or against coral and pink tones in your flowers and decoration. Even if you want to capture the vibe of a summer destination wedding closer to home, turquoise is the winner.
Or, you might look at turquoise and see Tiffany Blue. We have been influenced over the decades to associate that lovely green aqua blue colour with one of the most luxurious brands in the world. The smallest Tiffany blue box can hold valuable treasures. So, it makes sense that your guests would get a sense of opulence when they see Tiffany Blue on your wedding invitations or the reception at your wedding.

DUSTY BLUE & ICE BLUE WEDDINGS: ADD STYLE & EMOTION TO A WINTER WEDDING.
Dusty blue may be associated for some, to a more dramatic option. Yes, there is a stormy ethereal look to this more natural tone but all comes to the overall style. There is a power on this colour that takes the theme away from anything too overtly feminine.
But, you can also bring in dusty pinks, golds and silver to complement and balance the scene.
Ice blue can be just as dramatic while taking your wedding theme into a more wintery territory. This colour is perfect if you prefer the idea of a cosier celebration in the colder months than a beach wedding in the height of summer. You can play with the winter wonderland idea as much or as little as you like with silver accents and snow-white furnishings. Use these blue tones whichever way you choose when planning your wedding.
The amount of blue you use is entirely up to you. You can be accent with a turquoise blue ribbon and other little details against pink or purple floral arrangements and place settings. Alternatively you could make blue the protagonist and use ivory as the complementary tone. The same is true for your dresses. You might decide that blue accents are enough on your bridesmaid dresses or you could go for something completely turquoise or dusty blue.
Or, if you aren't looking to wear white or ivory, you could wear the colour yourself.
You can also use blue in your wedding invitations as the main feature or paper, or just touches of this colour.
The great thing about custom wedding invitations is that you can play around with colours and styles for the best look. The turquoise or dusty tone can embellish the paper or add some intrigue via a ribbon. This little detail gives your guests a taste of what to expect on the big day.
With that in mind, you can make the invitation design as lavish or as simple as you like. If you favour the winter wonderland approach, one option is to use a little ice blue and silver lettering (silver foil printing).
You might not have considered a blue wedding before as it doesn't seem traditional.
However, this doesn't mean that you can't embrace the colour and create something stunning.
