Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Wedding Invitations

We've seen our fair share of picture-perfect wedding invitations. From floral motifs and watercolor accents to bold metallic prints and endless loops of calligraphy, there are so many ways to make your paper suite stand out from the rest. Lately, we've been drawn to one stationery element in particular: envelopes. More specifically, statement envelope liners. What's an envelope liner, you ask? You'll find it on the inside of your casing's triangular top (it's the part the folds down to seal everything together!). Turns out, it's the perfect place to make a didn't-see-it-coming statement.

Just take the following gorgeous invitation suites—all complete with pretty envelope liners!—from real life celebrations, for example. They represent the very best of the statement liner trend, albeit in different ways. Looking for something bold and decidedly retro? Make like one bride and hand-line your envelopes with a flower-power print. If you're looking for a way to make a colorful statement on an otherwise neutral invitation suite, consider going splashy in the envelope department—a burgundy, peach, and pink color combination is always a bright idea. This particular stationery detail is also a great place to pay homage to your future wedding venue. Several of our favorite liners involved hand-drawn renditions of a ceremony or reception space—just make sure you hire adequate talent to bring this creative vision to life!

Ready to discover all of these pretty, eye-grabbing options yourself? Click through to see the newest wedding invitation accent we can't get enough of. It's the finishing touch you never knew your stationery needed.
