Styles that never go out of fashion

Trends come, trends go.  That's what makes them trends.  There are two styles however that are never not 'on trend' and so are always popular.  Part of this popularity stems from their versatility.  Fashion proof stationery can suit any wedding, regardless of budget or scheme, whether it be traditional, contemporary or somewhere in between.

The simplest of this timeless stationery is the flat printed invitation.  Usually rectangular or square in shape and printed in an elegant font on white or ivory card, this style of invitation is a cool classic whilst being completely modern at the same time.  Whatever your colour scheme, or wedding theme, the venue or the scale of the event, this style of invitation will suit because it simply goes with everything.   There is still an endless number of variations that can make the invitations unique, from adding monograms or embellishments to font and colour options.  If you look at the invitation for the most recent royal wedding you probably won't be surprised that this is the style of invitation used.  Simple, understated, elegance.

The second trend proof type of invitation is the wallet fold.  This is a larger invitation which unfolds to reveal the invitation text and usually an rsvp card.  These days this style of invitation has so many variations that it can turn out to be a product of it's time, however if you again keep it simple, stick to white or ivory card and a minimum of embellishment it's a style that can enhance any wedding.  These invitations are particularly good if you have more information to give to your guests as additional cards can be made to fit perfectly inside. Done well, the wallet fold oozes grace and charm and will impress any guest whilst also being a practical option.

For both these styles of invitation you can have matching on the day stationery made but the beauty of this style of invitation is that you don't have to.  These invitation styles, kept simple and clean, will complement an entirely different on the day stationery design.  This is great for those couples who haven't pinned down the exact details of their event at the time they are sending their invitations out.  By sticking to the timeless elegance of these invitation
, and keeping your colour palette limited, you also keep your options open when it comes to the design of your other stationery items.
