1. Black and White Monochromatic Wedding Invitations
In 2023, the black and white monochromatic trend was everywhere. Couples have been loving the embrace of black and white designs featuring minimalistic typography. These high contrast designs create a sophisticated and timeless look that’s perfect for any wedding style. Unsurprisingly, the monochromatic trend is expected to continue into 2024 because it’s a classic and versatile look that never goes out of style! So, go ahead and rock that black and white aesthetic on your big day (but throw in some moody touches and a dramatic envelope liner to make it yours!).
2. Personalized Wedding Invitation Emblems
Creating a personalized wedding emblem was a major trend in 2023! Couples brought their unique love story to life by incorporating meaningful elements like initials and wedding dates. This emblem adorned their invitations, save the dates, menus, and seating charts, adding a personal touch to their special day. Get ready for more personalized emblems in 2024, as this trend continues to capture hearts and elevate wedding stationery!
3. Seating Charts, Escort Card Displays, and Place Cards
Couples these days are absolutely loving the idea of making their guests feel truly cherished and special by adding personalized and interactive decor to their wedding! Think seating charts, escort card displays, and place cards that not only help with organizing guests but also add to the overall wedding aesthetic. In 2023, these displays really took things up a notch, creating a stronger sense of belonging and appreciation for every guest at the wedding. I don’t see this trend going away any time soon and will definitely be continuing into 2024!
4. Envelope Liners
Envelope liners were a major hit in 2023! Couples got to showcase their style with personalized custom designs. Often created by an invitation designer (like me!) – it’s so fun to see your envelope liner take on a style of it’s own (think beautiful floral motifs or a unique emblem). Talk about making a statement! And guess what? In 2024, expect this trend to continue, brimming with heightened creativity and personalization. It’s something I’m increasingly recognized for and frequently asked about! What better way to wow your guests right from the start?!
5. Delicate Minimalistic Floral Designs
Delicate and minimalistic floral designs took the wedding scene by storm in 2023! Brides and grooms wholeheartedly embraced these small, delicate floral designs on their wedding cards, RSVPs, and other stationery. The floral touch added a lovely feminine vibe to the invitations, striking the perfect balance. Furthermore, in 2024, more couples will opt for infusing a touch of nature into their wedding stationery, continuing this trend.
6. Embellishments
In 2023, personalized envelope wax seals and invitation wraps crafted with fabric, ribbon, twine, and vellum were all the rage. These gorgeous embellishments give invitations a unique and glamorous touch, making them truly unforgettable. And guess what? This trend is here to stay in 2024! More couples than ever are looking for personalized ways to make their wedding invitations truly one-of-a-kind and create an unforgettable experience!
7. More Color
In 2023, couples started ditching neutrals and embracing vibrant colors in their invitations. Personally, I’m here for all the maximalist vibes I am seeing popping up. Moreover, I’m excited to declare that this vibrant trend will continue to thrive in 2024! Additionally, we expect pastel palettes will also shine with brighter pops of color. It’s all about personalization, as each couple has a unique color scheme that truly represents them.
8. Wedding Weekends
Wedding weekends are all the rage in 2023 and will continue to be in 2024! Couples are going the extra mile to create unforgettable experiences by planning multiple events. Picture this: rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks, post-wedding brunches, and more! Your wedding invitations and event-specific stationery should capture all these fabulous details and set the tone for an entire weekend of celebration. Don’t forget to have enough detail cards in your invitation (we’ve got you covered right here!) to explain all the exciting events that await!
