The best 20 vintage wedding invites on the web!

It really makes me smile to see how cre­ative you can all be– from your blog com­ments, emails and when I see which Eng­lish Wed­ding fea­tures are most pop­u­lar… it’s clear you love cre­ative wed­ding inspi­ra­tion — so today I have a treat for you! (and me!)

As a wed­ding cal­lig­ra­pher I have a bit of a thing for paper and type — noth­ing pleases me more than a nice font on warm paper with a bit of a twist to it. And the trend for vin­tage wed­dings has inspired a gen­er­a­tion of wed­ding sta­tion­ers and brides to cre­ate some really beau­ti­ful vin­tage wed­ding invites.

These are my favourite 20 vin­tage wed­ding invites

(in no par­tic­u­lar order!)

1. Vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions by PrettyWild

Come Fly With Me!… beau­ti­ful vin­tage inspired wed­ding invi­ta­tions by Pret­ty­Wild set the scene for this fea­ture — aren’t these just the most beau­ti­ful idea and per­fect match for a del­i­cate, girly vin­tage wed­ding theme?

2. Glam­orous New York vin­tage invitations

Vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions with a fab­u­lously glam­orous and sexy fin­ish — these vin­tage lace let­ter­press invites are stun­ning: they were cre­ated for a bride and inspired by the lace on her vin­tage gown. (more on the Lela New York Wed­ding Blog)

3. Sophis­ti­cated and pretty blue vin­tage invitations

These chan­de­liers and swirly cor­ner designs really stand out from the crowd, and with envelopes in pas­tel blue they’re ever so pretty. From Ruf­fled wed­ding blog.

4. Lux­u­ri­ous flo­ral vin­tage wed­ding invitations

If you’re hav­ing a vin­tage wed­ding you can chose sta­tionery that’s as pretty as pretty can be — and that’s exactly what I see in these exquis­ite vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions from Ally Hay which I found on Before The Big Day wed­ding blog.

5. Ally Hay’s strik­ing vin­tage wed­ding invitations

More from Ally Hay — these are strik­ing, dif­fer­ent and beau­ti­fully fit­ting for a vin­tage wedding.…

6. Cal­lig­ra­phy invi­ta­tions — vin­tage modern

I love these cal­lig­ra­phy invi­ta­tions I saw on Oh So Beau­ti­ful Paper — let­ter­pressed from hand­writ­ten orig­i­nals, the cal­lig­ra­phy itself gives a vin­tage feel but the mod­ern let­ter­ing adds a gor­geous twist to a vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tion design. Love it!

7. Fab­u­lously cre­ative illus­trated vin­tage invites

These invi­ta­tions were designed by a very tal­ented bride for a vin­tage gar­den wed­ding theme — I love the fairy­tale feel, the shapes of the invi­ta­tions and the illus­tra­tion of the bride and groom! I found these on Green Wed­ding Shoes blog.

8. Unique vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions with a twist

I found this unique vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tion by Blue Tulip on Stiled blog — it’s from a great col­lec­tion of printed wed­ding sta­tionery on Etsy.

9. Utterly ele­gant vin­tage wed­ding invitations

Vin­tage invi­ta­tions can be elab­o­rate or oh so ele­gant, and these vin­tage invites from Project Wed­ding are the absolute height of ele­gance and sophis­ti­ca­tion. A softly swirling mono­gram, a sim­ple satin rib­bon… for high soci­ety vin­tage brides!

10. Vin­tage wed­ding sta­tionery with cal­lig­ra­phy by Laura Hooper

I’m a huge fan of Laura Hooper’s cal­lig­ra­phy and these vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions from Laura’s col­lec­tion are so beautiful!

11. Strik­ing vin­tage wed­ding invites with red

These vin­tage inspired wed­ding invi­ta­tions use splashes of red to give a play­ful look to the design — the soft back­grounds and vin­tage fonts keep the design very charm­ing and olde-worldy! These vin­tage invi­ta­tions are from Oh So Beau­ti­ful Paper.

12. Blue vin­tage wed­ding invitations

I love the colours in this rus­tic blue vin­tage invi­ta­tion design. The beau­ti­ful design is by Jes­sica Bishop Paperie — this was rec­om­mended by a bride to be on the Wed­ding Bee blog forum. http://www.jessicabishoppaperie.com

13. Cou­ture vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions from Scotland

I’ve always loved invi­ta­tions from Wan­der­lust Cards in Scot­land — Audrey’s cre­ations are spec­tac­u­lar and these beau­ti­fully adorned vin­tage cou­ture wed­ding invi­ta­tions are out of this world.

14. Cherry Gor­geous vin­tage rose wed­ding invitations

Go big and bold in vibrant blues with this pretty wed­ding invi­ta­tion from Cherry Gor­geous. The blue rose and pas­tel polka dots com­bine to make a strik­ing and unusual vin­tage wed­ding invite design.

15. Illus­trated and fun vin­tage wed­ding stationery

This vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tion from Momen­tal Designs is pretty and full of fun — I love the lit­tle rhyme on the front! (The blog post is full of gor­geous wed­ding invi­ta­tion designs — pop over and read the whole thing, if you like this you’ll love it!)

16. Let­ter­press invi­ta­tions for vin­tage brides from Cardlab

I love Cardlab’s let­ter­press sta­tionery, and these clas­sic and ele­gant invi­ta­tions fit a sophis­ti­cated vin­tage wed­ding theme. I can per­son­ally rec­om­mend Card­lab, hav­ing writ­ten cal­lig­ra­phy on their invi­ta­tions many times — it’s beau­ti­ful qual­ity and they’re a great team to work with.

17. Let­ter­press vin­tage invi­ta­tions by Emma-Jo

I’ve just dis­cov­ered Emma Jo, who cre­ates beau­ti­ful let­ter­press wed­ding invi­ta­tions in the UK. This vin­tage wed­ding sta­tionery col­lec­tion has swirly and car­ni­val fonts, beau­ti­ful let­ter­press print­ing and gor­geous colour com­bi­na­tions — worth check­ing out!

18. Vin­tage invi­ta­tions — Made With Love!

Clare from Made With Love has cre­ated the most colour­ful vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions I’ve seen — they’re like a sum­mer gar­den all tied up with lace. I love these! (found on the Wed­ding Invi­ta­tion Shop blog)

19. A quirkier vin­tage — invi­ta­tions by Hello! Lucky

For the alter­na­tive brides and grooms out there, these quirky vin­tage wed­ding invi­ta­tions by Hello! Lucky could be right up your street!

20. Navy blue vin­tage invi­ta­tion by Sarah Drake

This wed­ding invi­ta­tion suite from Style Me Pretty blog is by Sarah Drake, and inspired by wed­ding inspi­ra­tion board on the blog. I love the rich colours, and the dark styling is very sophis­ti­cated. Gorgeous!
