Last fall’s neutral trend is still holding strong this spring 2011, but you don’t have to limit your style-savvy color scheme to bridesmaid dresses and table linens. If we learned one thing this season, it’s that neutral colors are anything but staid and simple (see: Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein for examples). You can carry that idea into your wedding invitations too with our selection of neutral-colored suites to fit every style of bride. Their colors may be muted, but they speak volumes.

For the Romantic Bride:

We love Sanskripts’ ‘Emma’ for its old-world calligraphy style and thoroughly modern floral details. What sets this suite apart? Rather than opting for traditional roses and lilies, the background art features reeds and wheat, providing the perfect folksy touch to a sweetly lettered invitation.

For the Vintage Bride:

Getting letters from vacationing friends can be a bit of a downer when you’re stuck in the cold, but rest assured: This postcard save-the-date from Lucky Luxe will excite your guests way more than the news from your latest envy-inducing trip abroad. Old-school flourishes and vintage-style calligraphy are a fun and unexpected way to let your nearest and dearest know it’s time to block out a few days on the calendar for a fête to remember.

For the Outdoorsy Bride:

Hosting your wedding atop a mountain, by the lake or in your backyard? Make sure the invitations match the atmosphere with a woodland-inspired suite by Lion in the Sun. Don’t worry, this invite isn’t Disney-cartoon-cutesy though. Modern lettering along with a minimalist design balance your great outdoors vibe with forward-thinking style for an invitation they won’t soon forget.

For the Traditional Bride:

You’ve dreamt about this day for decades, right down to the impeccable invitation suite. But instead of opting for your run-of-the-mill classic invitation, why not jump on board the neutral trend? You won’t sacrifice an ounce of your picture-perfect vision with East Six’s gray and ivory invitation suite.
