Neutral Modern Themed Wedding
The colour scheme for a modern neutral wedding is typically centred on fresh whites matched with neutral shades; think mint, rose gold, blush pink, grey and teal. With that in mind, your save-the-dates and invitations are the perfect way to introduce everyone to your theme!
We love the acrylic trend! You can use your Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Maker to add personalised vinyl lettering and motifs to clear acrylic. The Cricut machines are also perfect for creating detailed, intricate card designs if you want to go a more traditional route.

Another big trend that's perfect for incorporating into your stylish stationery (and beyond!) is marble.

You can create your own marble patterns, or choose patterned papers to personalise!
