RAW-Edge

We're all about this unexpected, boho border treatment. Chicer still? Dip that raw-edge trim in gold leaf. 

RETRO BOTANICALS

Romantic chintzes. Old-school botanical prints: Granny-chic florals have never looked so sophisticated. 

DAINTY GEOMETRY

Hot tip: Layer minimalist shapes atop simple script invitations for some clean and modern flair. 

TRIBAL PATTERNS

Psst: The boho wedding trend is still reigning supreme. And as a result, we've been seeing tons of fun and vibrant global patterning on paper goods. 

LETTER-PRESS

If you swoon for thick, creamy cards tock, you'll love this textural, minimalist and oh-so tasteful option. 

Ombré Suites

Love blue but can't commit to just one hue of it? Try a slow-fade color scheme, with different tones for your envelopes, invites and RSVP cards. 

GREENERY MOTIFS

This year saw tons of simple, unembellished greens across weddings. We love how this trend is manifesting itself in pops of watercolor greenery on invitations.  

MULTICOLOR LETTERING

Why pick one font color when you could pick a rainbow instead? We love this fun treatment for an elopement, city hall soiree or microwedding invitation. 

METALLIC EMBOSSED

Want a little glitz—but to still keep things classy? Consider a metallic embossed border (florals, constellations, geometry—they all look fitting and swoon-worthy).

RECYCLED PAPER

Organic, textural and earth-friendly, these gorgeous papers also happen to look great topped with watercolors.
