If you just got engaged and are now starting down the long road of wedding planning, then a black and white wedding invitation is a great way to show off the elegance of your wedding. But don’t think for a moment that your invitation will be boring just because you’re going with a traditional white wedding. Today there are dozens of different invitation designs and styles to choose from in the black and white realm, so don’t be afraid to add a twist to a classic invitation and make it uniquely yours.
Here is a list of the different styles you can choose from, as well as an example of each so you can make the best choice for your special day.
Traditional – There is nothing wrong with sticking to the classic beauty of a simple black and white invitation. A traditional style will have clean, crisp lines and elegant lettering.
tea length – A tea length wedding invitation allows for a slight twist on traditional by allowing for a long and narrow look, yet offers the same clean lines and elegant lettering that you would expect to see in the traditional style.
Vintage style – A vintage wedding invitation incorporates a vintage touch by adding a vintage pattern as a border or background for a unique style and design.
Photo – The fact that you have chosen black and white does not mean that you have to rule out the use of photos in your invitations. Adding a photo to an already elegant design can allow you to put a little more of your own style into the invitation. A fun idea that many brides do is to have their photo in black and white, but add just a touch of color by putting their names or wedding date in color to really make it stand out.
Dubbed – A folded design is not necessarily a style but has to do with the overall size of the invitations. Unlike a single-sided invitation, a folded invitation has 2 panels that fold over to create a perfect square. A folded style is a great option for anyone looking for extra space for extra photos.
So don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit no matter what style and design you choose, you will always turn heads with its timeless beauty and elegance and it’s the perfect way to announce your special day.
