Floral Wedding Invitations

Elegant and beautiful floral wedding invitations is the perfect wedding invite especially if the theme of the wedding is flower. What’s a wedding without flowers? Brides for centuries have been carrying their bridal bouquet down the aisle as they go to meet their future husband. Flowers are so much a part of wedding planning that they often carry forward into the design of the wedding invitations.

Floral wedding invites are appropriate in some form or another for every wedding; from the most formal to the wedding that would win the trophy on a CMT reality wedding show. Floral wedding announcement cards can be elegant and regal looking, artsy and modern, cute and folksy or simply classic. But whatever the look, floral wedding invitations are among the most popular with brides everywhere.

The ‘floral’ in floral wedding invitations can be in many forms:

• Embossed or stamped into the paper, making a raised impression on the invitation

• Drawings

• Photographs

• Die-cut edging or cut outs

• Floral shaped invitations

Most brides, for a number of reasons, tend to base their floral selection on the time of year the wedding takes place. Roses and ivy are appropriate year ‘round, but you won’t usually find a bride using sunflowers for a winter wedding. This naturally carries over into her selection of a floral wedding invitation, so in some ways they could be considered a seasonal item.

Some of the most popular choices when it comes to using flowers as a part of the design for wedding invitations includes:

• Daisies-symbolic of love, purity, innocence, loyalty and trust

• Red rose symbolize love and passion

• White roses symbolize truth and honor

• Combining red and white roses is done to convey love and harmony

• Ivy, so often used in bouquets and arrangements stands for eternal fidelity

• Red mums say ‘I love you’ while white ones say ‘I’ll always stand beside you’.

• Sunflowers symbolize warmth and longevity (faithfulness).

It’s no wonder with such hopeful symbolism that these flowers (and others) are so often used not only for decoration but for the invitations, too. Floral wedding invitations can ignite that symbolism in family and friends in anticipation for the wedding and in encouraging the newlyweds for years to come.
