This wedding invitation features a beautiful, modern floral design with splashes of pastel colours. The invitation includes a simple yet classical font giving these wedding invitations an elegant style. This suite is a beautiful design for a modern bride.
The Madeline wedding invitations can be personalised in a number of ways. We offer two types of cardstock, linen or recycled matte. We have other cardstock options available but these two options are what we recommend for wedding invitations. The wording on any wedding stationery item can be changed and of course all your own personal details will be included. All of our wedding invitations include white envelopes. We also offer envelope upgrades. It is possible to order a custom envelope liner with the Madeline wedding invitation, while we also stock a range of coloured envelopes.
The wedding program card is printed front and back. This card is also often referred to as the order of service card.
The front usually features the details of the ceremony, while the back includes details of the wedding party and the guests taking part in the ceremony. This card can be edited to include your own personal ceremony details and design.
This is the second part of a two part series. In the first part of Wedding Trends 2019 we discussed the fabulous Wedding Ideas that are trending this year:
Opulent cakes with personalised monograms, metallic touches and regal piping
How to scent your Wedding with a custom scent and scented favours
In this second part of the Wedding Trends series we are going to look at:
Floral Circular Arches and Installations
Simple Dresses, and
Banquet and Grazing Tables
Floral Circular Arches
This trend is huge and we expect it to continue into 2020. Floral circular arches, made from various materials, are making an appearance at many Weddings this year, from Summer to Winter.
Irish Wedding
Summer in Ireland is often unpredictable but in recent years we’ve had an improvement in weather and with the long bright summer evenings, what better a place to plan a summer Wedding, than at a beautiful location somewhere in Ireland.
Summer is a likely time to see beautiful circular arches featuring an abundance of flowers. The Caroline Wedding Stationery Collection was designed with a summer Wedding in mind. This Wedding stationery collection features a stunning floral circular arch on almost every element of the collection. You can carry the theme through your Wedding and match your stationery to your decor. Imagine, your Wedding invitations can match the backdrop of your Wedding photographs.
A Winter Wedding is more likely to feature a grass or wooden style arch. There are so many options and styles that you could spend all day dreaming about floral circular arches!
Another Wedding Trend for 2019 is floral installations. You will see them hanging over tables, in the drinks reception area and outside. They can be included in your Wedding in so many ways. They make a real statement and are a great way to make an impression.
As mentioned in our previous post “Wedding Trends Part 1”, Wedding Wire have put together a wonderful list of Wedding Tips and I love how they included a section on Wedding Table Flowers. Of course they included the trend we mentioned of floral installations but some other additions that I love are:
Florals in teapots and teacups
Birdcages and lanterns overflowing with flowers and
Single blooms in tiny jars – I put together a range of these for the reception before my sister’s wedding and for my sister in laws wedding. They are so simple to do but make a beautiful addition to any table.
Simple Wedding Dresses – Wedding Trends
Simple dresses are on trend this year for Weddings. You will see many Irish brides wearing understated dresses. Simple Wedding dresses don’t have to mean boring though. A bride can wear a simple design that makes a beautiful impression. Check out some of these simple dress styles and start dreaming about your Wedding dress style today.
What better way to complement a simple Wedding dress than with simple Wedding Stationery. Our Petite Fleur Wedding Collection is the perfect addition to a classic style Wedding. This Wedding Invitation range is beautiful, simple and chic. Check out the full Petite Fleur stationery collection and match your Wedding dress style to your Wedding Stationery.
Wedding Grazing Tables
The Wedding menu is one of the most important aspects of your Wedding Day. The guests want to know, what they will eat and when. You know what it’s like at an Irish Wedding, sometimes you hang around waiting for dinner, having a few glasses of wine and wishing there was some food to eat beforehand. Depending on the timing of your day will depend on whether or not you need to provide food during the drinks reception.
A trending idea, instead of canapes, is a grazing table. In this way you can provide such a wide array of food that you hope to be able to cater for every guest at your Wedding, including children. To cater for guests with allergies you can provide a separate grazing table with appropriate dietary signs.
What about a dessert grazing table? Oh wow, who wouldn’t love to be able to graze through dessert, instead of receiving just one option?! My sister in law had a dessert grazing table at her Wedding and it was such a treat for all the guests.
When we talk about Wedding Trends for 2019, we have to mention Wedding banquet tables. They are so popular this year and we expect to see them at many Irish Weddings in 2020 too. The idea of having long tables at a Wedding is fantastic. People can speak to more than just those that are beside them. They also have the option to talk to the guests on the opposite side of the table too. We have attended quite a few formal and casual Weddings that had banquet tables and think it works fantastically.
Whether you are a straight or a same-sex couple, who says you have to have individual parties before your big day? Why not think about a joint Couple’s Wedding Shower to celebrate together with all of your family and friends?
Bubbles
Guys, just as much as girls love an afternoon of sipping bubbles, mixing cocktails and enjoying a fabulous spread of food. Check out our four ideas below for a Couple’s Wedding Shower.
Afternoon BBQ
Summertime screams – BBQ! We all love a good BBQ, sitting around chatting, enjoying the smell of food cooking on the BBQ, having a firepit and even toasting marshmallows. Throw in a few beers and some wine and you have a fantastic evening with all your friends. Check out the BBQ, Friends, Drinks Couples Wedding Shower invitations that we have designed. Perfect for the modern couple who are looking for a fun party.
Grab some rugs, some buckets of ice, some bubbles and beers and of course some grazing platters of finger food. Invite your friends and family and enjoy an afternoon outside in the sunshine. This idea is perfect if your friends have kids because they are welcome to come too.
We all know Gin is now the alcohol of choice when it comes to cocktails. What better way to celebrate your upcoming nuptials than with a big goblet of gin and some friends, top it off with a slice of beautiful cake and voila, a fabulous afternoon can be had by all. This also gives you a chance to have a practice wedding cake made and you can taste each flavour on the day.
This idea is suitable for a smaller group of close friends. There are two variations here. Grab some tents and some camp food and head off for a night away, or else pop up some tents in your garden and spend an evening by the campfire/firepit with some warm blankets. What a way to make special memories with all your friends before your big day.
