Vintage Washington DC Wedding Invitations

There are few cities as iconic as Washington DC. As the capital of the nation, the name itself speaks to the richness of our long heritage of democratic leadership. Weddings set in this historic city can tie into that rich sense of patriotic history with Vintage Washington DC letterpress wedding invitations. The vintage style letterpressed images of the Presidential monuments create a stately landscape of architectural elegance. The vintage Washington DC map printed on the interior envelope liner creates a double emphasis of the theme.

Color Can Change Everything

The understated charcoal gray used in this example adds to the vintage feel of this design. A simple change to the ink color of this print can totally transform the look of these vintage Washington DC wedding invitations. Sharp black on bright white would provide a classic but modern look, while brighter colors would connect with the energetic vibe of Washington DC. In the example above we’ve added a splash of color to the stationery set by printing the reception card on a contrasting stationery color. Color accents can be made with ink choices, stationery colors or subtly with color added to the edges of stationery pieces.

Fonts Make a Statement

Take note of the font used on the vintage DC wedding invitations above. The font is simple in form, but increasing the size and bolding the lettering provides prominence for the names of the bride and groom. Just like color, it is important to choose a font that fits with the style of your event. These choices can be greatly simplified when working with an experienced print designer who can make font and color recommendations based on a short consultation with the bride and groom.

The Importance of Paper

The paper you choose for your Washington DC wedding invitations can make a big difference on the final look that is achieved when the design and font type is applied. It is important to see how the fonts and colors you’ve chosen will appear on various types of letterpress paper. Does the paper truly complement the colors and font types? Should it be smoother or should it have more texture? What will it feel like in the hands of your guests when they open it and read it? Each of these individual choices combine together to create wedding invitations that artistically represent the lifetime commitment that will be honored on your wedding day.

City Skyline Graphics on Cotton Paper

Do you love your city? Or hometown? Do you stay connected to your Jewish community and get involved in your temple’s events? A Jewish community is a wonderful thing and for any little girl being called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah, it is this group of extended family and friends that will share in the joy and excitement of such a momentous time.

Selecting Invitations for Your Spring Wedding

Whether your wedding will be a formal affair with a classic, elegant style or something a bit more whimsical and light-hearted, tailoring the invitations to reflect the theme of the event can set the tone for your event long before it actually arrives. Remember, the invitations will give your guests their first impression of your big day weeks or even months before they witness it.

Springtime and weddings seem to go hand in hand. After all, what’s a wedding without flowers? Since these natural beauties make their first appearance of the year during the spring months, nature’s bounty can almost seem like an extension of the arrangements and bouquets that adorn your ceremony space.

Integrating natural elements like floral and botanical themes into your wedding invitation design is a great way to reflect both the season and your own personal style. Couples planning an elegant, black tie event may want to keep more formal invitation design in mind to reflect the tone of their event. Clean lines, understated colors, engraving and classic script or calligraphy are the hallmarks of a traditional wedding. Copperplate fonts are also a common choice for classic wedding invitations, as is a mixture of copperplate and script. When sophistication is the name of the game, let your crisp colors and iconic floral themes speak for themselves.

Some weddings are less formal, which gives you more leeway when it comes to appropriate invitation design. Vintage elements and bohemian touches can lend an incredibly romantic air to a spring wedding, while fun embellishments in preppy hues create a fresh finish for invitations to a relatively casual event. Whimsical splashes of riotous color and flower prints are also appropriate for springtime events. Weddings with a sleek, modern theme may not typically include floral elements, but you can still bring in spring-like elements with your color choices. Typography will generally take center stage on modern invitations, with fewer illustrative touches.  ,  , erotik film izle , gaziantep rus escort

Remember that your wedding is a day that celebrates the beginning of your life as a married couple, and should be a reflection of your personalities. Your wedding invitations will set the stage for your big day and the expectations that your guests have regarding the type of ceremony to expect, so you’ll also want to keep the theme of those invitations in keeping with the theme of the ceremony itself. Whether you’re married to tradition or a couple of quirky free spirits taking the plunge into matrimony in your own unique way, make sure that your wedding invitations are both a preview of the event to come and a celebration of your personal tastes.
