Ok, so the past week or so we've gone a little velvet mad (I blame all the velvet shoes and clothes in the shops) but it is winter, and nothing says festive than a touch of the fuzzy stuff. Today we want to bring you something a little different - Velvet Wedding Stationery. Yes, you did read that correctly, there is such a thing as velvet stationery! A simple way to add an irresistible luxe feel to your celebration...
Lush Velvet Wedding Guest Books
The easiest way to add some velvet love to your wedding is with a velvet guestbook. Velvet guestbooks can be bought in all shapes and colours, our faves come from the guys at BHLDN, Blue Sky Papers and Velvet Raptor.

Velvet Wedding Invitations
Imagine getting one of these beauties in the post! Velvet invitations come in a range of forms from velvet envelope liners (swoon) to velvet invitation strips and simple velvet bow ties - which you could easily DIY. If you do choose this option be wary it will add a few extra pennies to postage.

3 Velvet Wedding Details to DIY
If you have time to spare add these 3 beautiful DIY velvet details to your wedding day...
1. Escort Cards/Table Plan Hung on Velvet Ribbon
Get crafty with a DIY velvet table plan like the one above from Martha Stewart Weddings.
2. Add Velvet Ribbon to each place setting
Something as simple as adding a strip of velvet ribbon to each guests' table setting can lift a table design. Use alternating colours to bring your colour palette to life.
3. Velvet Ribbon added to the Ceremony booklets
Thread a piece of velvet ribbon around each ceremony booklet to add a touch of luxe and tie in a simple booklet design with the overall colour palette.
