I love colors. I try to surround myself in a variety of contrasting and complementing colors. At home, at work and even with the clothes I wear, I am enthralled by unique and spirited colors. Colors with names like floral white or Alice blue make me laugh and I even have this design book where you can flip through different home scenes and move different color swatches back and fourth to see what it could look like with a different combination. Suffice to say, I think the more color the better.
In the world of letterpress printing, color combinations are limitless. This bride and groom decided to go with two different color schemes for their invitation set.
The original looked good, but there was so much potential. By adding a second color this piece moved from a delightful presentation to a beautiful and welcoming invitation set.
This version contrasts the blue of the palm tree and names with the rest of the text. It is a well rounded design that can only be achieved with two colors.
Likewise it is possible to print your RSVP card in the contrasting color of the invitation. By altering these small details you can easily expand your realm of possibilities.
Adding color is an easy way to spice up your invitation set. Think about complimentary and contrasting ideas. Also how and where you include the second colors makes a big difference, find whatever works for you.
