Colour Block Wedding Stationery: Bold is Beautiful
The short answer: Colour block wedding stationery swaps the traditional pastels and ivory for vibrant, contrasting hues across your save the dates, invitations, RSVPs, menus, place cards and signage. Pick a palette that genuinely feels like you- think tangerine paired with magenta and sage, or burnt orange with aubergine and emerald- and let it run consistently from the first save the date to the last thank you card.

Colour Block Wedding Stationery: Powerful AND Pretty
When it comes to trends… colour blocking is alive and well and not going anywhere. And it's more popular than ever in the wedding world! Think bold wedding party outfits, striking tablescapes, and eye-catching decor. Now, this daring trend has made its way into wedding stationery….
I'm talking about save the dates, invitation suites, menus, place cards, and table numbers... all in contrasting colours that jump off the page. This trend isn't just powerful; it's the ultimate way to add personality to your wedding.
Making a Statement with Your Stationery
When it comes to wedding planning, everyone knows that your invitations set the tone. Why not give your guests a sneak peek of the bold design elements they'll see on your big day?
Colour blocked wedding stationery is just the ticket for this! Picture vibrant invitation cards with high contrast typography and pops of colour- it's a visual feast that will have your guests eagerly marking their calendars. Let's make your big day as unique and colourful as you are!
On your wedding day itself, colour block stationery can go a long way to tie everything together... Consider using boldly coloured place cards, menus, and wedding signage. These elements will not only guide your guests but also add a cohesive look to your wedding decor.
Photography lovers will appreciate the vibrant pops of colour in their photos, creating lasting memories of a beautifully coordinated day.
Level up the trend with personalisation
Colour blocking is more than just a trend; it's a way to express your individuality.
We can showcase a whole palette of your favourite colours through the different parts of your invitation suite. From the main invitation card to the details card, RSVP cards, envelope liners, and belly bands... each piece can highlight a unique shade that complements and adds to the overall theme.
For instance this set… we started with The Sophisticated Curves Collection and spiced things up with bold tangerine orange arched invitation and a vivid magenta details card. This suite mirrored the florals the couple had planned for the day, and we added sage green envelopes for a nod to the greenery touches in those arrangements.
Or something like this gorgeous suite... The Colour Block Collection got a semi-custom glow up. The main invitation and RSVP cards featured a striking shade of burnt orange, while the details card shone in a lush aubergine purple. The envelopes popped in a deep emerald green to fully show off the couple's stunning dark autumnal colour palette.
Or another more watercolour focused design with bold colour AND bold typography... The Black Brushstrokes Collection had a semi-custom makeover which meant that it felt oh so fresh, juicy, and vibrant with the splashes of orange, hot pink, and blue on each individual card in the invitation suite.
