Ask us what one of the biggest wedding stationery trend of recent years is and our answer would have to be vellum wedding invitations. Vellum is a semi-translucent paper which provides a delightfully delicate and ethereal appearance. The trend is a beautiful, luxe addition to wedding stationery. Vellum can work as a versatile accent to traditional card stock - especially if you're looking for different ways to make your wedding stationery stand out. It can be slick and minimal or ornate and luxurious. To show you just how dreamy it can be, today we're sharing 21 of our favourite modern vellum wedding invitations to inspire you.
