We’re falling for these fall wedding invitations
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.
Color Combinations:
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. Beryl from Alee and Press; $2,765 for 100 invitations set (includes invite booklet, RSVP + printed envelopes)

Haute Embellishments: Invitations are no longer limited to paper.

As fancy as it may look, this style is perfect for the DIYers. Vienna from Carciofi Designs; $20-$40 per set (includes printed outer envelopes, reply cards, printed reply envelopes, and enclosure cards)
