Gold and Copper Foil letterpress Invitations have been popular this year. With metallic tones of taking centre stage in wedding stationery design and reception styling, here are some ideas to help you continue the colour theme through to the reception styling on your special day. From bronze cutlery to Copper Wire Chairs, handpainted gold painted leaves and geometric copper centrepieces, find out what’s been hot with our brides in 2016!

1. Reception Stationery

Bring in some Bronze typography and detail to your menus, placecards and table numbers. Letterpress and Foil are beautiful ideas, however digitally printed metallic gold or bronze ink is a much more cost effective option. We can digitally print individual guest names onto the top of menus too!

Or opt for simple placecards and menus, but what about those hand painted gold leaves from Anita and Nathan’s recent wedding! Totally loving their reception styling right now, great idea for an Autumn / Winter weddings!

2. Copper Geometric Centrepieces

They make a great styling piece when grouped with flowers. We have been loving using them in our stationery photo styling too! By the way, we found our geometric planters at Kmart for only $10, see one of our unedited shots of Jade and Andy’s copper foiled wedding invitations below, more on this gorgeous newly-wed couple to come later!
