  • Blush pinks and muted corals for a romantic touch

  • Sage greens and dusty blues for an organic, nature-inspired feel

2. Delicate Floral Watercolor Illustrations

Floral elements have always been a wedding favorite, but in 2025, they’re becoming more artistic and refined. Hand-painted watercolor florals bring a romantic, organic feel to invitations without overpowering the design.

Popular floral trends include:

  • Minimalist floral borders that frame your invitation with soft brushstrokes

  • Subtle botanical accents that add a touch of nature without feeling too bold

  • Custom venue illustrations with florals woven into the design, making each invitation unique to your wedding setting

💡 Tip: If you’re incorporating floral elements, choose flowers that align with your wedding bouquet or theme for a cohesive look.

  • Sleek sans-serif fonts for a contemporary, minimalist touch

  • Custom monograms featuring the couple’s initials in an elegant, understated way

Typography plays a huge role in defining the overall look of your stationery. A mix of classic and modern fonts creates a balance that feels both refined and inviting.
