The most helpful site ever
We had no clue what we had to put on our invitations, and Zola answered even our craziest questions.
When you look at wedding paper and all the possible choices, it’s easy to see why “flower invitations” often come out as the favorite—they can work in lots of ways, and they also hold special meaning for you and your partner. Flower details fit right into a garden event, an old building, or even a modern area. Soft, painted roses make for a look that’s classic, while bright wild flower mixes give a more natural, relaxed energy. Some flowers, such as peony or sweet pea, have meaning (prosperity and love, or pleasure), so you might decide that’s important for your day.
Frequently, you want to know which invitation styles other couples pick, or what’s currently most popular. According to Zola data, today’s leading five flower invitation names are Laurelwood, Merryton, Spasso, Octavia, and Seraphine. Among couples who select these, about 8 out of 10 go with the vertical portrait form, which means very few choose them in a wide, landscape look.
If you wonder how to make your invitations just for you, it might help to notice what’s common in other couples’ selections. While you might imagine lots of extra details, real data from Zola shows just 2% add a wreath, and only 4% choose a frame. Adding a photo? Few want it—4% include just one, and none use more than that. Decorative touches like foil or old-style letterpress (which advice articles often talk about) aren’t used at all by couples who buy Zola flower invitations.
You likely think about tone, and also how your paper can help show what the day is supposed to feel like. Dark red flowers or lots of deep green leaves give a sign of a formal evening. Light, painted wild flowers, on the other hand, point to an easy, daytime feeling. Flower choice can show the season as well—cherry flowers say “spring,” garden roses highlight summer, and chrysanthemums fit into a fall event.
For your style to carry through the full wedding, you’ll want your flower idea to show up on more than just the invitation: add it to your save-the-date, answer card, or program as well. Using the same flower image on menu cards can also tie your table look to the wider plan. Table numbers with your chosen flower make the place feel even more connected.
Usually, it’s best to get invitations about four to six months before your date. That timing gives you enough space for review, edits, and delivery (plus any final changes you might also need). Make sure to allow around two weeks for addressing, and two or three more weeks for guests to get the invitation, especially if you’re having a travel wedding.
Zola stands out because it offers premium flower designs, and gives you free samples so you can check the paper and color as is. Free guest addressing is included, which helps make one hard task much easier, and the paper works directly with your Zola wedding site—so it’s all smooth, and your guests get a united feeling from first invite to the final celebration.
