Elegant Wedding Inspiration

What makes a wedding elegant?  When surveying many of you bride to be's - most of you say you will be having an elegant wedding.  You might be having a Western Themed wedding or a Destination wedding...but it will still be elegant!  There's many ways to tie in elegance to any event. 

1. Carefully consider the wedding party attire & of course your own!  The attire will be a main event in setting the tone for your wedding pictures!  Think solid colors for your wedding party...perhaps an elegant hair updo...and the subtle simplicity of a remarkable necklace or bracelet.  A shawl or wrap will add that next level of elegance to the bridal attire - and will be sensible in those cold weather months.

2. Simplicity is key.  When in doubt - scale back.  A beautiful wedding favor box will look quite remarkable with a simple personalized ribbon accent matching your wedding colors.  The favor will double as a gift and reception decor!  Or choose the latest fabulous trend - the elegant candy buffet!

3. Remember the details. Stylish accents & embellishments. A beautiful reception hall with decor so beautiful - you don't need to add decor! Shimmer menu cards, tea light candles, music planned for the night - be sure to review the song list & approve before the "Chicken Dance" gets started!

Below is one of my favorite elegant wedding invitations & elegant wedding accessory ensembles.  The beautiful cream color with the satin ribbon & your monogram personalized on the front of the invitation tells guests your wedding will be spectacular!  It sets the tone for your wedding - indicating your wedding will be elegant, simple, stylish and every detail will be thought out. Your guests will come prepared in elegant attire and ready for a remarkable event!

Cake Toppers - so many choices!

What will you be putting on top of your wedding cake? You could add a unique personal touch to your wedding cake by spelling out your initals or monogram on a cake topper! Or choose one of our heart cake tops symbolizing your two live joining - very romatically - as one!  Will you be the princess at your wedding? If so, top off your wedding cake regally with a crown-shaped cake top!

Wedding Cake Top Tip:  Pick out your cake topper before you visit the cake baker.  Work with your baker to incorporate your cake topper into the design of the cake & be sure to bring it along to your meeting.

Pink Wedding Theme Ideas

Brides are choosing pretty shades of pink to accent their weddings no matter what the season or venue. Some are going for all-out pink affairs, and some are choosing pink accents here and there for a little touch of romance. From invitations to centerpieces, from bouquets to cakes, it’s always time to “think pink!”

Thank You Etiquette

Saying "thanks" is a MUST! Etiquette experts say a lot of things that don't apply to "real" people. For instance, not many of us will ever need to know whether to bow or curtsy when we're introduced to a reigning queen - nor do many of us have the problem of wearing too many heirloom diamonds at once!

But writing notes of thanks is an etiquette MUST for queens, heiresses and newlyweds alike! Rexcraft has matching thank you notes and informal cards to match every invitation style. Or - you can choose from some of our brand new Photo Thank you notes or photo thank you postcards -to help save on cost! Just a note Need to send notes to important people in your wedding but don't want to use plain paper? Choose informal cards designed to coordinate with every invitation style. Your names or monogram are printed on the front, allowing space inside for handwritten notes. Blank mailing envelopes are included. When printed with the bride's name or monogram… informal cards are perfect to use before the wedding as thank you notes for shower gifts, or for wedding-related correspondence with the bridal party, caterer, vendors and others. When printed with the couple's names or monogram… the informal cards make wonderful thank you notes for wedding gifts and services. Order plenty for using long after the wedding! Monograms add a touch of class! For a sophisticated look, choose to have your monogram printed on your informal notes. The notes make elegant thank you notes and are perfect for correspondence long after the wedding. View more monogram designs.   Printed (or not) to suit your needs Thank you notes are available printed with a "Thank You" design on the front and are left blank inside for writing personal, handwritten notes of thanks. Prices for blank thank you notes that match your invitation ensemble are listed with each invitation's price. For $30.00 extra, you may print a special thank you verse inside the notes - perfect for acknowledging gifts and services quickly. Do be sure to follow up with a handwritten note after the wedding.

Wedding Etiquette - Inviting only a few guests to the ceremony

Q. How do I invite only a few guests to the ceremony and everyone to the reception?
A. Send everyone an invitation printed with such wording as:

Mr. and Mrs. Brian Jacobson
request the pleasure of your company
at a reception in honour
of the marriage of their daughter Angela
to Mr. Shawn Hall
date, time, place...

For those few you'd like to invite to the ceremony, include an enclosure card printed with the ceremony information:

The honour of your presence
is requested at the ceremony
date, time, place...

Rexcraft is Eco-Friendly and Beautifully YOU!

So many couples are “going green” and showing their concern for the environment as they celebrate their weddings. With Earth Day coming up, it’s the perfect time to share our eco-friendly products and eco-friendly wedding ideas with you! Start with your invitations. We have a beautiful selection of wedding invitations made from recycled paper and printed with environmentally friendly inks and methods. Our “Grace” Invitation  is made from quality, recycled paper containing 100% post-consumer fibers. It proves that eco-friendly CAN be beautiful!

  

You can send a colorful, eye-catching invitation and still be easy on the environment! Our Posies Photo Invitation  is produced through a digital printing process eliminating the waste inherent in traditional printing methods.   

 Save paper and money when you send one of our economical, eco-friendly seal-n-send invitations, like this beautiful “Flutter” Seal-n-Send Invitation. The one-piece invitations include perforated response cards, eliminating the need for response envelopes. And since they’re self-mailers, outer envelopes aren’t necessary, either!

Go green with your favors, too, and let guests know how much you appreciate them while showing your concern for the earth.

Give a favor that’s a symbol of your blossoming love! These Seeded Heart Favors and Cards  include little cards imbedded with flower seeds that guests can plant when they get home to beautify their own yards.

In lieu of giving favors, make a donation to your favorite charity in guests’ names. Let guests know how you have honored them by giving each one a printed Donation Card.You’ll eliminate the expense and the waste of elaborate favors while giving to a good cause!

Add a fun and fashionable touch to your reception while being easy on the environment with our ThemeNaps™ Wedding Napkins!  The napkins are proudly made in the USA from eco-friendly, 100% recycled tissue and FDS-approved, food-grade inks. They’re available in the fun Groom Wedding Napkin – Blue Flower design we show PLUS eight other styles!

And don’t forget to think eco-friendly when you give wedding party gifts! This can often be accomplished by giving gifts that serve two purposes, like our great totes. Our natural canvas Tote Bags are perfect for toting wedding-day gear AND for using long after the wedding! Encourage recipients to use the bags for shopping instead of the plastic bags available from stores.

 

Other tips for making your wedding an eco-friendly affair:

• Plant a tree together to symbolize your commitment to each other AND to the earth! You can even include the planting as part of your ceremony if it is held outdoors or at your home.

• Donate leftover food from your reception to a local homeless shelter.

• Donate floral arrangements to a nursing home or retirement home to spread the cheer to others.
