Inspired Ideas {Silhouettes}

Silhouettes are a fun and simple addition to any wedding. They can be featured in so many ways and complement a variety of styles from vintage to modern.

One of the easiest ways to get started with a theme like silhouettes is through your stationery. Save the Dates and invitations are the first things your guests will see, so choose a look that will help capture the wedding day you have planned. And don't forget about the packaging. Send them in envelopes with special touches like customized address labels or even stamps.
