5. How impotant is Font,


     syle & lettering in

     adding aesthetics?



 Incredibly important! The right choice of the typeface makes or

 breaks an invitation design. A typeface communicates so much
 about the type of wedding the guest should expect; the couple’s
 personality or even the time of year!


 Tradition plays a big part in so many weddings and of course,
 traditional script fonts are perennially popular - always bringing
 an elegant and sophisticated feel to any invitation. Over the last
 few years, we’ve seen a big focus on modern calligraphy fonts
 that combine well with the trend for floral watercolours, both of

 which reflect a more relaxed and laid-back wedding style.


 However, we’re seeing an increase in popularity for a more
 stripped-back look, placing a focus on just the text and the
 beauty and simplicity of the typeface used. Also popular are
 monograms, combined initials that can be designed almost like
 a logo or emblem to be used across all the wedding stationery.
