Black is back!

While in the process of the re-brand for Bride's Butler I've been looking at all kinds of designs, layouts, colours and fonts the past few months and let me just tell you, it's been hard to decide! There are so many beautiful designs out there, and waaaay too many fonts! But, it seemed that no matter how much I looked, and how much I saw that I liked, I always seemed to be drawn to the chalkboard style.

So then for fun, I started looking at invitation styles on Wedding Paper Divas and ta-da! Found some designed with the chalkboard style. Here is one of my favs..

And then I kept looking, and I saw so many beautiful invitations I just couldn't stop clicking through from one page to the next. I noticed that there were quite a few invites that were black and it got me thinking...I know that black has made a major come-back into weddings through the bridesmaid dresses, details and embellishments on the Bride, but I wasn't sure if it would make it's way to the stationery. But, why wouldn't it? Black is classic. Black makes a statement. Black is back!

What I love most about these invites is that you don't need a whole lot of colour, or any at all to show your style and get your message across in a beautiful, artistic and classy way.

What do you think? Do you think wedding invitations need colour? They are the first thing guests see from the wedding and help set the tone for the event...but from looking at these invites, I say go for it! Black is back, and I like it!
