Three Ingredients for one-of-a-kind wedding stationery 💌
So you want unique wedding stationery that tells your love story, and feels like it could only belong to you, your partner, and the beautiful journey you’ve gone on together. But sorting through the sea of inspiration on Pinterest can make it seem impossible to get there - so I am going to break down the three ingredients of truly one-of-a-kind stationery.
💌 Infusing elements from your love story
This is what takes a design from “pretty” to “personal, meaningful and deeply ours.” A portrait of your wedding venue could belong to any couple getting married there; a tower of Espresso martinis might not mean much to you - but illustrations of you and your partner interwoven with those things? Language you use when talking to each other, or from favorite love songs? A color palette that pulls from your favorite places and flowers? An overall design concept that carries threads from your story, things that inspire you, and memories you share? These are the things that take your invites beyond the trendy and towards the heart of the matter - you and your partner.
💌 Pulling original inspiration beyond the realm of weddings
Let’s come back to the sea of inspiration on Pinterest. First of all, I love Pinterest and use it for inspiration all the time - that is not the problem. The problem is pulling inspiration solely from other weddings on Pinterest. This leads to copying, or keeping the creativity of your talented vendors constricted into one specific vision. But you? You’re wildly unique, and you want your invitations to reflect that. So let’s gather inspiration beyond the world of weddings! Think album artwork, restaurant menus, interior design, architecture, fashion, artwork you love - the options are truly endless! The idea is to pull inspiration from things you already love - not reach for something that feels inauthentic - and use it to create something that feels like it already belongs to you.
💌 Working with an actual person - who you actually connect with!
The most important way to tie the first two pieces together? Working with a real, human designer who you have a real, human connection with. Because that person just getting you, is what leads to those intuitive insights and design ideas that go outside of the box and bring your love story together for you. And, it makes the design process that much more enjoyable. Having a compassionate creative on your team who genuinely cares about you and wants to celebrate your story, means they are going to go that much further in bringing it to life in the best way possible. Weddings are, at their core, about relationships, so investing in the relationship with a designer is going to be your best bet in a design that really reflects your relationship.
