"Today, Brides are using color to stunning effect."

Not so long ago, any choice other than black ink on an ecru or white stock would have shocked some. A daring choice would have been a tasteful charcoal gray. Today, brides are using color to stunning effect. There is no such thing as "the wrong color." But you will certainly know it when the color is "just right."

Consider coordinating your wedding invitations with your flowers, bridesmaids' dresses, or family tartan. Perhaps you are getting married by the shore and want to select colors that will accent the setting. Or perhaps you want to pick up on the colors of falling leaves, ripening apples and the colorful garden harvest for a fall affair.

Once you have selected the palette of colors that are "just right" for paper stock and ink, you can begin to combine elegant typestyles with ribbons, motifs, hand-brushed borders and envelope linings that will further add distinction and complement your style. Your Crane Retailer will help you to coordinate all your wedding needs, from the invitations to place cards.
