Imagine:
The first glimpse your guests will have of your wedding. A carefully tied bundle arriving through the letterbox or resting on a sun-drenched windowsill. They peel it open, and just like that—they’re transported. They know it’s your wedding. Not anyone else’s.
This is your opportunity:
To set the tone. To tell your story before the ceremony begins. Your wedding invitation is so much more than a piece of paper—it's a whisper of what’s to come. It hints at candlelight or wildflowers, city skylines or starry skies. And the question that often arises: rustic or modern?
Let’s explore both.
Rustic Invitations: For the Wild at Heart
Think weathered textures, wild florals, handwritten script, and layered details that feel collected, not curated. Rustic invitations are rooted in nature, storytelling, and romance. They suit couples who dream of outdoor ceremonies, barefoot vows, long banquet tables lit with flickering candles, and a sense of grounded magic.
Our Litton Wedding Invitation Collection captures that perfectly. With its muted tones, botanical accents, and soft, tactile materials, it feels like a love letter found in a secret drawer. If your wedding is in a barn, garden, forest, or historic estate, this style might feel just right. It pairs beautifully with vintage details, earthy colour palettes, and floral installations that spill with movement and life.
Rustic doesn’t mean rough—it means real. Rooted. Romantic.
Modern Invitations: For the Style-Led Soul
Sleek lines. Bold typography. Unexpected materials. If your vision leans toward the contemporary—think warehouse venue, city chic styling, architectural florals—a modern wedding invitation might be your perfect fit. It’s the kind of design that feels effortless but considered. Minimal but intentional.
Our Highfield Wedding Invitation Collection is an ode to this aesthetic. With crisp layouts, refined finishes and space to breathe, it speaks to couples who love art galleries, clean design, and celebrations that blend form and feeling.
Modern invitations are a wonderful way to let your stationery feel like an extension of your style—stripped back yet full of impact.
Which One Is You?
Maybe you’re drawn to moonlight and wildflowers... or maybe your heart beats for structure and steel. Maybe—just maybe—you’re a little of both. And that’s okay. That’s where bespoke comes in.
Our Bespoke Wedding Stationery service lets you blur the lines. You can mix rustic textures with modern finishes. Pair clean layouts with natural, romantic motifs. The goal is never to box yourself into one category—it’s to create something that feels entirely your own.
Your Day, Your Story:
No matter the theme, your wedding invitations should feel like a piece of you. A beautiful beginning. Whether rustic, modern, or somewhere in between, your stationery is your first chance to say: this is who we are, and this is what we’re about to celebrate.
Whichever direction you choose, make it yours. And most of all—enjoy the unfolding. xx
