At a glance: what to know about your Bordeaux wedding invitation

 

 

Why choose a Bordeaux wedding invitation?

 

Bordeaux is a colour full of character, wonderfully suited to a late-summer or autumn wedding, when nature itself glows in warm, rich tones.

A Bordeaux wedding invitation sets the tone for a celebration full of warmth and refinement well before the ceremony begins. It suits couples looking for an intense yet never overpowering colour.

Paired with gold or copper, Bordeaux takes on a particularly noble, almost regal quality, beautifully suited to a stately venue or an autumnal decor.

 

Which colours pair best with Bordeaux?

 

Bordeaux and gold

 

The classic combination: gold enhances the opulence of Bordeaux, perfect for a stately venue or an elegant evening wedding.

 

Bordeaux and copper

 

Warmer and less traditional than gold, copper suits an autumn wedding with a rustic or boho touch beautifully.

 

Bordeaux and champagne

 

A softer contrast that tempers the intensity of Bordeaux, suited to a more understated, romantic aesthetic.
