Wedding Vendors Who Secretly Admire Your Stationery

Some of the biggest decisions you make for your wedding have to do with your wedding professionals and ensuring you choose the right vendors for your big day and will mesh well with your overall hired pros. Thus creating your “Dream Team”.

As a stationery designer who has worked with many couples in the past, I want to share with you 3 wedding vendors you’ll hire who will secretly want to gush over your wedding invitations and share them with the world. These vendors will do everything possible to make sure to add that extra layer of unique service if you have a beautifully designed invitation set.

Your Wedding Photographer

Your photographer's primary role is to capture moments and history so you’ll be constantly reminded throughout the years as you start your new chapter. The wedding invitation is one of their favorite details to photograph on a wedding day. They love how a wedding invitation introduces guests to the style and color palette of a wedding long before the big day.

Your wedding invitation suite is one element they will want to incorporate as a starting point to tell the story of your day if it’s been beautifully designed and has a beautiful impression of lettering with your name and wedding date. A detailed photographer loves to capture your wedding invitations. For your photographer, you can request single-stem flowers directly from your florist to include in your wedding invitation flat lay. It may cost a little extra, but it won’t break the bank, and it’ll absolutely be worth it; the flowers will match those in your bouquet or your bridesmaid's bouquets! This brings us to our next vendor, who secretly LOVES your wedding invitations.

Your Wedding Florist

Your florists naturally have a love for paper; most will also have quite a bit in their shop. The stationery can be a representation of the creative showpiece. Stunning blooms with coordinating stationery suites put the personality in your party. Fresh florals and paper always go hand in hand and create a stunning backdrop to wedding photos to cherish forever; most florists find wedding invitations to be a perfect representation of your wedding day in such a delicate way. It helps with creative interpretation, and most would love to partner with you and your stationery on coming up with some grand ideas. Not necessarily for the purposes of having the same florals illustrated on your cards (that still works, too) but instead of a direct match, you may see the invitation as more of a creative representation of the final flower arrangement. Stationers and Florists will help by looking at the shape and size of the flowers in the illustration and see what flowers your florist suggests that are similar. They absolutely fall in love with those gorgeous designs and can’t wait to see them!

Your Wedding Planner (or Venue Coordinator), Wedding Venue

Planners secretly admire your invitations because they tell the story of your day, and there are elements involved that help communicate to your guests effectively, from wedding invitations to your day of paper goods. Your stationery is essentially a big help for them beautifully and creatively, and they understand the importance and impact they can provide; they will always love to have these around, plus they are gorgeous.

There you have it, your 3 top wedding vendors who will literally partner and work together to make your stationery absolutely stunning! They are truly a fan, and you’ll find most will go above and beyond to ensure your stationery is shown in the best light possible.
