Ideas For Themes: Frangipani Wedding Invitations
Frangipani flowers, sometimes known as Plumeria, are elegant, beautiful and a colorful addition to any wedding ceremony, reception or luncheon. The color variations with the Frangipani flowers make them ideal in all types of themed weddings from the very formal, traditional white weddings through the casual summer garden and backyard weddings. These popular and very hardy flowers are easy to design with plus they add a touch of romance or color to the front of Frangipani wedding invitations to set the tone.
Plumeria come in a wide range of colors so are very easy to integrate into any theme or style of wedding. White and pale yellow flowers can be used in traditional weddings and they are absolutely gorgeous in candlelight. This romantic theme can even be carried out on the Frangipani wedding invitations with a pale colored yellow or white cluster of flowers featured both on the front of the invitation as well as one the inside. Dramatic black font in a traditional or calligraphy style will draw attention to the invitation and make a one of a kind presentation. Black can also be used to highlight the background where the flowers are located on the card, or they can form a stylized or embossed border around the card.
The Frangipani flower is actually used to make leis in Hawaii and it can also be incorporated into wreaths, garlands and other types of decorations on the head table, guest’s tables and during the ceremony. If you are planning a Hawaiian or garden party for the reception, adding Frangipani flowers is a must, plus they can be used on the wedding invitation to add that perfect additional touch. For these invitations a central Frangipani design on the invitation can’t help but stir up visions of a tropical wedding complete with this popular flower.
Unlike many types of invitations, Frangipani wedding invitations are not too feminine or flowery to be seen as a couple’s invitation. Perhaps because the flowers are so vibrant and festive, they avoid appearing too much like the bride picked the invitations without consulting the groom. As with any type of wedding invitation it is important to consider how to incorporate the theme of the card with the rest of the wedding party, and the Plumeria flower definitely lends itself to this. Grooms and groomsmen’s boutonnieres as well as the arrangements carried by the bride, bridesmaids and even the parents of the groom and bride can all tie in with the Frangipani flowers on the wedding invitations. They can also blend in with other more traditional wedding floral choices so you don’t have to worry about staying exclusively with the specific species of flower.
Selecting the style of the invitation also includes the actual shape of the invitation. Longer rectangular shaped cards are becoming more popular and allow you to highlight the visual aspect of the card. Square Frangipani cards are more traditional, however it is really a choice of the bride and groom which shape fits their style.
Don’t forget that along with the theme of Frangipani on the wedding invitations the same theme can be used in place cards, RSVP cards, envelops, wedding announcements and thank you cards. If you do want to have this full range of options for all the stationary you will need for your wedding, be sure to check in with your supplier to ensure these options are provided. Typically those stationary companies providing wedding stationary will be able to work with you on pricing of each item if you buy all the stationary at one time, rather than just buying a bit at a time. Talk with the representative and try out different options to get the best possible price for the cards and style that you want.
