Invitations are the first glimpse that guests have into your wedding day, so you want to be sure to set an unforgettable tone. Luckily, this season’s trends are fit to print with harvest color favorites, invite embellishments and dreamy designs.

Yellow & Gray: Fall often brings harvesting colors into the wedding day palette and this autumn we’re seeing pretty yellows being paired with grays, a romantic combo for rustic or beach weddings.
