Modern Wedding Invitation Spotlight: 5 Examples for the Contemporary Minded Bride

Your eye for design is on point and always has been. Now that it’s time to plan your wedding, only a sleek, contemporary look that says you’re “here and now” will do.

As unique as the brides and grooms of today, modern weddings range from formal extravagant affairs to casual celebrations. However, all contemporary-style events usually have one feature in common: a minimalist look that’s apparent in everything from the bride’s dress to the wedding invitations.

“A modern wedding reflects a couple’s personal aesthetic and style,” says event designer and stylist Jessica Sloane.  “It is a minimalistic look with a clean aesthetic, one that focuses on ‘less is more.’”

Jessica’s idea of a modern wedding theme includes mixed metals such as gold and silver and clean textures such as marble. Her modern wedding invitations often feature clean lines in the design and fonts. She also recommends creating a contemporary look using a marble background or adding metallic ink.

Below you can find a selection of five of our most up-to-date contemporary and minimalist wedding invitations, from custom photo templates to simple and chic designs.
