the latest look in invitations

The National Stationery Show just kicked off the latest releases in wedding invitations! It is "the" show for the industry where designers display their best work and gab with retailers from all across the country. Cielo Blu Studios was there for the 5th year! We saw beautiful work from many designers. The printing techniques varied depending on the budget - but quality of design was present at any price point. The main trend we saw - COLOR in invitations. Solid colors of paper - either sparkling with a metallic finish or a matte cotton paper. The inks were contrasting to the paper colors. Chocolate still remains to be a favorite in paper and ink - combined with robin's egg blue. Plum paper and ink seems to be making a strong play for second! And classic black paper is always modern favorite for weddings. Here are a few of our latest favorites shot by Jasmine Photography!
