Whats Trending In Invitations And Stationery?
In the world of wedding planning, the perfect invitation sets the tone for your special day. As a precursor to the celebration, it’s crucial to get this aspect right. Here’s what’s currently trending in modern wedding invitations and stationery, along with valuable insights from our esteemed suppliers at Wedded World.
Modern:
The rise in popularity of modern wedding invitations has been a notable trend in 2021. Characterized by bold fonts, minimal text, neutral and monochrome color schemes, and unique shapes such as rectangles or rounded edges, these contemporary designs have captured our imagination. One studio that embodies the essence of minimalist design is Studio Jorge, which masterfully uncovers the raw beauty within wedding and event stationery. Take a closer look at their stunning creations below!
Illustrations:
One notable trend among our couples in recent years has been the incorporation of custom illustrations into their wedding stationery. We’ve seen a range of creative expressions, from whimsical depictions of brides on bridal shower invites to tender portraits of couples on engagement and wedding invitations.
nThe Sydney-based Studio 62 stands out for its exceptional talent, not only crafting bespoke wedding stationery but also bringing those unique illustrations to life.

Colours and patterns:
The era of monochromatic wedding stationery is behind us. According to industry experts at Ooh Aah Invitations, tonal shades and shapes are taking centre stage. Gone are the days when couples were content with neutral tones like whites; instead, they’re opting for softer, more feminine hues like pinks, nudes, and almond tones. This shift in taste is reflected in the increasing popularity of unique shapes, too, with laser-cut designs featuring arches and diamonds becoming a hot commodity.
These unconventional shapes are departing from the traditional squares and rectangles that once dominated wedding stationery. At Ooh Aah Invitations, the team takes couples’ imaginative visions and transforms them into one-of-a-kind, bespoke invitations that leave a lasting impression on guests. Similarly, Vinas Invitations brings to life vibrant, visually stunning designs that perfectly capture the essence of each couple’s special day.
Impressions:
We’re fascinated by the thoughtful nuances that blind impressions bring to wedding invitations. These subtle touches can make your special day’s stationery truly unique and reflective of your personal style. For instance, a sketch of your ceremony location, your partner, or even the venue where you’ll be exchanging vows can add an extra layer of meaning to your invites.
Take a look at this stunning example from Xela Studio, which features a blind impression of their custom hand-drawn sketch of the couple’s special location – we’re smitten!
Custom card stock:
There’s something undeniably special about handcrafted wedding invitations that boast a personal touch. One such stunning example is this invitation designed by Edge House Design, which features handmade Indian cotton stock. The unique material adds an extra layer of sophistication and charm to the overall design. By opting for custom materials, couples can make their wedding stationery truly one-of-a-kind.
We hope these trends inspire you as you plan your big day and help set the tone for a memorable celebration. As a bonus, don’t forget to take advantage of the exclusive offers from our featured suppliers, all listed in our Little White Book.
