Wedding invitation

Finding new ways of creating beautiful wedding invitations is what Cotton Bird does best. And adding lustrous, metallic foil embossments is one of the many fantastic ideas our designers have come up with.

These shimmering, attention-grabbing foil wedding invitation designs appear to jump straight off the card, giving your invite a distinctive look that won’t easily be forgotten. If you’re looking for a simple but effective way to make your wedding stationery stand out, foil embossments are a great choice.

What exactly are foil wedding invitations?

Foil wedding invitations are wedding invitation designs that incorporate copper or gold foil embossments for added creativity and visual attraction.

Using high quality foil, Cotton Bird’s designers have found a way to emboss this unique material into wedding invitations, giving each design an evocative, lustrous sparkle.

These foils change their luminosity depending on the light in the room, giving it a wide range of golden, ochre, pink, and silver hues when looked at from different angles. This makes it a multi-faceted design element that sets your invitations apart from more traditional themes.

Different Ways To Incorporate Foil To Your Wedding Invitations

Foil embossments are best used in moderation. Too much of this scintillating material can be overwhelming to the eye, which is why Cotton Bird’s designers have found creative ways of incorporating it for maximum effect using minimal foil. Some popular options include:

• In the illustrations – Shimmering foil accents around floral motifs or illustrations create a playful visual effect.
• As a creative border – A dazzling copper or gold foil border looks great as a design element on any wedding invitation, whether the shape is circular or rectangular.
• In the typography – This soft, warm metallic material looks beautiful in bold lettering.

As you can see, there’s a lot of flexibility around how and where to incorporate these foils into your wedding stationery. It’s an unusual, captivating, and highly distinctive way to make your invitations more memorable – and can even be used for scrapbooking once the wedding is over.

Bring Out A Unique Wedding Sheen With Other Metallic Accents

A bold creative decision like foil wedding invitations should be met with some continuation in other aspects of your big day’s theme. Fortunately, shimmery foil is a gorgeous, warming material that can be applied to many other components of wedding décor and other stationery, such as:

1. Cutlery and crockery

Copper dining utensils are beautiful and make great additions to any wedding reception. They do tend to be a bit pricey, but even incorporating little accents such as a lustrous table vase or a selection of copper cutlery can tie your shimmering wedding theme together.

2. Gold leaf patisserie

Who doesn’t love patisserie – and what better place to eat it than at a wedding? If you’re looking for a unique, stand-out way to celebrate your wedding, edible gold leaf pastries could be your solution.

There are so many delicious and delicate forms of patisserie, from elegant French macarons to chocolate eclairs. Asking your baker to add some edible gold leaf to the patisserie décor can bring together the radiant aesthetic of your wedding.

3. Subtle makeup

Another way to bring glimmer and shine into your wedding theme is to integrate it into your makeup. If you or your partner (or both of you) plan on wearing makeup, this could be a great way to reflect the shimmering glow of your gold or copper foil invitations.

4. Foil save the date or RSVP cards

Cotton Bird offers metallic foil decorations across a broad array of wedding stationery options. Beyond just invitations, you can add beautiful foil to your wedding RSVP cards, save the date cards, and more.

When it comes to wedding stationery, aesthetic consistency is important for developing a theme. This helps guests know what to expect from the wedding and piques their interest in the atmosphere.

Make Your Wedding Invitations Stand Out With Lustrous Foil

Despite being such an attractive and creative decoration choice, foil wedding invitations are still a fairly underutilised choice. This can make your invitations stand out more and present a more unique side of your wedding celebration.

With all these different options, you can select a foil wedding invitation that meets your creative vision – whether that includes classic gold or warming copper.
