One of the nice things about designing your own wedding invitations is that you can decide how you’d like to embellish them. Adding embellishments is a way for you to truly personalize your invitations, making them unique and exceptional. But exactly what is an embellishment?
According to the dictionary, an embellishment is an adornment, ornament, or decoration. Okay, so it’s something you add to your invitation to pretty it up. That’s easy enough, but for a bride in the midst of planning a wedding, coming up with creative embellishment ideas just might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Never fear, that’s why LCI is here! Our job is to make your job easier. We supply you with ideas and resources to help you craft the perfect invitation. And often, the perfect finishing touch to an invitation is an embellishment. So, what embellishment options can we provide you? Take a look at the following list.
Brads. Brads are small, thin nails which you can use to fasten pieces of an invitation together, such as an overlay to cardstock, or simply add interest or decoration. LCI offers several different decorative metal brads from silver sand dollars to silver daisies. Our brads attach by an included punch-through fastener or hot glue. Make your wedding invitations sparkle like your diamond!
Bows and ribbons. Bows and ribbons are another way to dress up your invitations. Punch holes in your overlay and cardstock, thread some satin ribbon through, and tie up both ends in a pretty bow. Or attach a delicate, pre-tied chiffon bow to the cardstock. You could also tie ribbon around the contents of your invitation ensemble to keep them together. Take a look at LCI’s assortment of bows and ribbons.
Clips. Clips are fancy and functional invitation fasteners. They’ll keep your invitation pieces neatly together and look smart while doing it. Their sturdy design easily holds several pieces of specialty paper and cardstock together. Choose from our heart-shaped or spiral clips to complete your invitations’ look.
Bands. Invitation bands are great for keeping your invitation ensemble intact. They’re also wonderful used with certain invitation styles such as pocket folds or Pochettes.
