This elegant wedding palette emerges on the heels of the bold ombre trend. After featuring on fashion runways this year, it has become a bridal favourite. As more and more couples opt for the contemporary, a watercolor wedding invitation is the perfect fit for those who seek a classic yet modern, formal yet playful style.

The age-old painting method works on everything- wedding cakes, tapestries, dresses and most importantly invites. Whether you want to have a theme that is ultra-romantic, classic or something edgier, watercolors can be customized to suit every couple’s needs.

If you prefer a formal look, you can use simple stripes or delicate vintage floral patterns that exude panache in a subtle way. For those with modern sensibilities, geometric patterns in washed out colours look very chic. For added dimension, one can use gold foiling, bright paper, and wax-resistant font to make the stationery stand out.
