Local Weddings with Honeymoon Flair:

• Couples might be forgoing pricey destination weddings due to the less-than-stellar economy, but they are still indulging in a love of exotic locations by jetting off to tropical locales for their honeymoons. This summer we'll see more and more couples infusing their local weddings with honeymoon destination themes so they do not have to sacrifice style for the sake of their wallets. From blissful beach themes to wine country getaways and more, Wedding Paper Divas offers a variety of destination themed invitations to set the stage of this type of recessionista celebration.

Fruit and Paper DIY Decor

Wedding decor can make up a majority of the wedding budget, especially when it comes to flowers. With more and more brides turning to DIY solutions, we are thrilled to offer our customers some popular DIY decor ideas for their summer weddings:

• Use paper as a stylish money saver. With Wedding Paper Divas personalization tools and customer service, it is easy for couples to transform their invitation design into more than just stationery. A blank set of invitations handed over to the calligrapher can become perfectly matching table number cards, or a personalized set of invitations can be placed on the tables with fun facts about the bride and groom. We have even seen brides glue or stitch together the edges of three cards to create unique centerpieces with multiple functions as menus, programs and more.
• Another low cost way to add color and a touch of tropical style to a summer wedding is to incorporate fruit into centerpieces and decor. Oranges, lemons and limes provide perfect dash of color for flower arrangements and table decor.

Haute Color Trends

• Speaking of citrus, hot colors like mandarin orange and lemon yellows are bold ways to brighten up your invitations. In addition, luxe turquoise paired with sand or marigold accents also remains popular this season. And for brides who want to be pretty in pink, summer is the perfect season to opt for fuchsia and magenta hues over pale pastels!

Bold Typography

• We will also see the rise of bold typography along with vibrant colors. Using the art of arranging text as a design element adds a new twist to traditional monograms, whether they include the couple's names or initials. Either way, this timeless tradition will get a fresh new look this summer!
