From the style of dress to the decoration of the event, all aspects of the grand Indian wedding seem to have evolved over the years to reach the current stage. These days, the event is a wonderful blend of modern and traditional. Innovation starts from Indian wedding invitations, where the soon-to-be-married focus on communicating their feelings about the ceremony through words and style.
The days of plain old rectangular wedding cards are long gone. Designers now have a huge variety to offer couples, from elaborate to simple. Let’s take a look at the latest trends in this segment:
Intricately designed and die cut –
If couples want to stick to the old cardboard invitations, the designers have worked to make this unique as well. The traditional style of gold and silver stamping is combined with intricate or origami cuts. So you can have cards that are all different shapes and work around a theme of your choice. The wide range of designs includes intricate paper folding designs, custom cutouts that reflect wedding themes, and more.
Gift boxes/sneakers –
A popular trend that is emerging these days is to give a box or basket along with the invitation. This is the choice of couples who prefer an elaborate wedding. The box contains not only the wedding invitation, but also a small gift as a token of goodwill. Gifts that can be given include handmade chocolates, scented candles, dried fruits, etc.
ornate cards –
Add embellishments such as stones, crystals, pearls in pearl tones, etc. to the wedding invitation can make a lasting impression on your guests. Designers include elements of different designs on the card that stand out with these embellishments. These could be a lasso, a tassel, or even a deity. However the designer decides to include this style, his card will look rich and classy.
invitation cards with parchment
The scroll style of the cards gives your wedding a royal theme. There are several options couples can choose from, such as ornate boxes lined with satin velvet, intricately carved wooden boxes, or even beautifully patterned metal cylinders to hold the scroll. The couple can choose one that fits their budget.
Handmade personalized invitations
Taking personalization to another level in Indian wedding cards, designers present the option of personalized handmade invitations. They create new designs for your wedding based on your instructions and handcraft them to perfection. You can use handmade paper of your choice or even eco-friendly material to make a statement. Sure, this type of invitation will be a bit expensive, but the impression it makes is a lasting one.
