Here are some suggestions for the perfect summer wedding stationery. For vibrant colour contrasts to summery flowery designs.

Mixing and matching bright contrasting colours creates a vibrant feel to your wedding stationery. Think hot pinks and bright orange flowers or contrasting stripes. For zing and zest add touches of lime greens and bright lemon yellows. Candy stripes are an excellent way to use contrasting colours against each other. They also add a modern touch to your wedding theme. To create a light feel use the stripes in moderation, for example, have the stripes only half way up the wedding invites. The top half can be white with the names of the Bride and Groom in the centre.

Brightly coloured flowers add a summer feel to any wedding, even if it is in the middle of winter. Use invites that are decorated with Gerberas or coloured Roses. Sunflowers also make a great embellishment to your wedding stationery. The deep yellow petals contrast with the dark brown centre.

Fruit is an excellent inspiration for summer colours. Lots of bright reds, yellows, greens, oranges and pinks all complimenting and clashing at the same time. Green can create a calm feel to your wedding theme, green symbolises plants and nature.

Beach themed wedding stationery adds a tropical feel to your wedding. This style of stationery is great for weddings abroad. Some designs are decorated with actual sea shells or 3D flip-flop embellishments. If you are wanting a more subdued feel choose a design that uses sea blue as it’s main colour. Perhaps with a delicate flower or starfish pattern running through the design.

Cute wedding stationery is for those couples who are romantic at heart. Couples who probably want to create a warm and friendly feel to their wedding celebrations.

Don’t worry about matching stationery, most designs are supplied as everything from wedding invitations to place cards.

Guess Who? Cards – Quite a common choice of the cute wedding stationery front. These designs incorporate pictures of the Bride and Groom when they were younger. Usually these cards feature the phrase “Guess Who’s Getting Married?” on the front of the design.

An illustration of a Bride and Groom together give a soft informal feel to your stationery. Choose simple, relaxed illustrations as they will create that “cute” feel.

There is a wide range of Scottish wedding invitations available. From simple thistle decorated handmade cards to elegant boxed printed scrolls. I have listed below a few common wedding themes for Scottish wedding stationery. Hopefull this will help you choose the perfect design.

Thistles are a popular choice. Some designs use thistle embellishments as the central point of the invitations. The thistle is sometimes complimented with tartan ribbon or bows to add to the theme. For a marriage between a Scot and an English person the thistle can be combined with a red rose to symbolise England.

Celtic and Scottish themed wedding stationery go hand in hand. Elaborate Celtic knots in bright colours can decorate the cards. Or choose a more subtle design with Celtic knots printed in silver or gold foil with delicate embossing detail.

Tartan is an obvious choice for Scottish wedding invitations. Some wedding stationers provide family tartan or alternatives such as Modern Pride of Scotland. Some designs can also be decorated with family crests.

Scroll wedding invitations make a great traditional wedding invitation. The scroll design can be fastened with a tartan ribbon to complete the design. Many scroll designs come with presentation boxes to protect the invitation. Although remember when posting these that you will need to consider the extra postage costs involved. Scrolls can be classed as large letters or packets depending on their size.

If you are unsure about what style of Scottish wedding invite that you want why not order samples? Many online companies provide free samples. This way you can see the true quality of the design and print finishing. Plus get a feel for the paper and card used.

Originally only the main anniversaries had a material representation such as the 1st, 10th, 20th and 30th year. The American National Retail Jeweller Association changed that in the 1930s. They added materials for each year up until the 15th anniversary and after that each fifth year.

The American and UK wedding anniversary lists vary from each other, although they have many similarities. There is also a modern list which substitutes some of the traditional material, for example clocks for the first year instead of paper. From searching online I am unable to find any two lists that match exactly so their must still be some dispute over this. Below is list of the most commonly accepted gifts.
