What are some of the latest trends in regards to destination wedding invitations?
A. Your destination wedding is an expression of your personal style, and your invitations should reflect that. Nowadays couples are trading traditional papers for rich fabrics like suede, silk or linen. They’re also creating fabulous presentations in fabric boxes with favors and embellishments that represent their locale. For instance, for a moonlight ceremony on a beach, we recently adorned a midnight blue silk box invitation with a sapphire rhinestone-studded brooch; in another case, we placed confetti “snow” inside a sheer ivory pouch for a winter wedding. – Messler A big trend is incorporating images and motifs that represent the destination. When we worked with a couple who were marrying in a castle in Scotland, we used a photo of the castle as the background. – Van Sluytman Q. What can you expect to spend on invitations? Where do couples tend to splurge, and where can they save? A. We generally work with high-end weddings, so our range is anywhere from $35 to $135 per invitation
