Though you can most often find us in the digital world, creating boards on the Loverly Pinterest and interacting with friends on social media, we have to admit we have an undeniable penchant for stationery. There is beauty in the simplicity of receiving a hand-lettered invitation in the mail to what is sure to be a gorgeously orchestrated wedding. Beyond classic calligraphy, there is one other stationery element that always makes our eyes pop and conversation flow even more: patterns.
We love receiving invitations complete with patterns, whether it's a floral motif for a garden party bash or a tiled beauty that makes us think of modern art deco style. Patterns are a way to make your invitation that much more memorable, and it's also an inventive way to set the tone for the theme of your wedding.
The gallery is full of patterns -- stripes, chevron, tiles, and more -- for you to browse through. Take a look, and tell us which pattern will set the tone for your own wedding in the comments!
