4. Outside of Paper, what material

are we going to see more?

Acrylic or wood or Leather or

Velvet or any other?

We’re big champions of paper here at Gee Brothers, so this is a hard one
for us! Paper will always be a very popular option, particularly nowadays
for its recyclability. We’ve found that more people are adding embellishments
to their paper invitations. Decorative elements like ribbons or bow tying in

satins, velvet and chiffon are all beautiful options. However most popular
this year is ribboning into two complementary colours, bright stranded
cotton or two-tone string. These can be used to bind the different elements
of stationery together or tied to the cards as extra embellishments. We’ve
also had some inventive designs that use layered papers, for example,
layering tracing paper or thin, translucent vellum-like papers
over textured cards.
