Ultra Violet is a fun color to incorporate into your wedding. This blue-based purple has many dimensions, allowing brides and grooms to play with the various light and dark hues that fall into the Ultra Violet spectrum. Whether your wedding is an intimate garden wedding or a luxurious wedding at an estate, this color can accentuate the perfect vibe that you want for your special day.

Metallics, are still in! To make it more updated we mix & match metallics. Smaller metallic decor pieces, such as votives, flatware and charger plates, are as popular as ever because they are small enough to be understated, yet still manage to pack a huge punch overall. Metallics are a great way to help make everything look and feel more luxurious.

The use of watercolor for wedding invitations is in for 2018. This style is perfect for brides and grooms who want a subtle and elegant background for their wedding invitations. Watercolor also works perfectly with Pantone’s Color of the Year, Ultra Violet. This technique allows for the mesmerizing mixture of blues and purples to be displayed in a unique design.

 For brides and grooms who prefer a bold statement for their wedding invitations, we see a trend of dark card paper with metallic print. This trend makes your invitations pop and makes a strong statement with your guests. This year, we also see a mixture of fonts - big, funky calligraphy mixed with a tradition, clean font.

Bows are back in a big way! Rather than the stiff, starched bows of the ‘80’s, in 2018 we are seeing large, waist-accentuating. This is a great look for an elegant bride who wants to add a touch of whimsy to their look.

Rings, hoops, and wreaths will be a very popular design feature of 2018. Wedding designers are foregoing the traditional wedding arches and are replacing them with floral accented rings. We are even seeing bridesmaids’ carrying hoops decorated with flowers and ribbons rather than the traditional bouquet.
