For the bride who loves it all, whether its glam, fashion, vintage, style, boho chic, florals or much more from the design world, eclectic styles for your budget wedding invites are definitely for you. Eclectic is known as a style that pulls from an array of different styles and designs. As you plan your budget wedding, you can choose from some great budget eclectic styles for wedding invites.
Mix and Match
Choosing an eclectic style for your budget wedding invites means that you can use a number of different styles that complement one another. Many times brides have more than one style that they absolutely love. You can mix and match styles to create an eclectic wedding with style favourites like vintage and romantic, rustic and country, Victorian and classic or modern and vintage. These are all styles that mesh together well—each keeping their different, unique characteristics but blending well together.
Budget Inspiration
Just because you’re on a budget doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice quality or your dream wedding. Weddings on a budget are easier than ever to plan these days; as many blogs, video tutorials, and sites offer plenty of inspiration for a budget wedding.

Weddings on a Budget
Now that you have your eclectic wedding invitations you created and printed on a budget, you can easily work the rest of your wedding on this budget too. Speak with each vendor that’s a part of your wedding first, then discuss your budget and set out how to allocate finances to each area of your wedding day.

It’s amazing how just because the word “wedding” is put in front of a product it instantly costs more: choose alternatives and you’ll save.

Flamboyant Weddings and Invites
Some brides are quiet and shy, while others are loud and bold. For the bold and outgoing bride, one should look into a flamboyant wedding and invitation theme. A wedding is meant to be expressive of the couple’s unique style. Many times though, the loving groom has a “hands off” approach thus allowing the bride to style and design the wedding her way. A flamboyant wedding is typically loud, fun and full of colour.
Choosing Flamboyant Wedding Invitations
Your first move in designing a flamboyant wedding is to choose some invitations that match this theme accordingly. You should ideally use vibrant colours that POP to draw attention to your wedding theme as well as the key wedding information. Bold, neon colours are a big hit; along with loud block fonts and lettering to capture the flamboyant look. Add pizzazz to your wedding invitations with things like glitter, busy patterns or sparkles.
Designing your Flamboyant Wedding Decor
Designing a wedding with flamboyant style is going to be a blast, but the best part would probably be by choosing your decorations. This includes all of the little touches added to the wedding day as well as what’s on the tables for centrepieces, guest favours, gift and cake table decor and all the extra bits. The phrase to remember is “go big or go home” when planning this wedding. Choose bright coloured decorations and accessories to make each table stand out. Utilise feathers, bold flowers, glitter, sparkles, beading, rich colours and lights if your budget allows it. This wedding is destined to be deemed as “over the top” and all of these glamorous touches help keep this wedding fun and flamboyant.
A Flamboyant Wedding Menu
When someone is looking to design a wedding menu for the reception at a flamboyant styled wedding, they may think it is difficult. This is entirely untrue. Continue your theme as you did with your invitations and decorations, keeping it loud, fun, and eye catching. This can be done on your menu using bold flavours and tastes; from other cultures or within your own. If you do not want this to be a “culturally based” menu, search with your caterer for trendy food styles and eclectic flavours to spice up the menu and keep it new and unique. Your guest’s taste buds will go crazy!
Planning a fun and exciting wedding like this will be a ton of fun for you. From the flamboyant wedding invitations to the wedding decorations and the bold menu, it’s sure to be a memorable occasion.

The eco-friendly style is becoming very popular in nearly every avenue of design, fashion, and wedding planning. More and more people have started realising that the more they help the planet, environment and community, the better off everyone will be.

Food and Drink
This is where you can have a lot of fun with an eco-friendly wedding.

Retro Style Wedding Invites
Many times when we hear the word “retro” we think of a kick back to the days of the 50s and 60s, days of poodle skirts, record players and sweet cars. Is this really what retro is in the wedding world? Not according to the bridal experts. Retro is just another word for “throwback” or vintage style. It usually represents the rustic elements of the 50s, 60s, and 70s but truly anything from the past can be considered retro. If you are looking for such a wedding, start with some awesome retro styled wedding invitations.
The Retro Themed Wedding
Your wedding doesn’t have to look low budget to have the retro throwback theme. Your location can be anywhere you want it to be, but an element of the past and simplicity that decades ago held for us is a great venue for your wedding. Maybe it’s by a stream, in a 1950s diner car, or in a large backyard with shade and comfort. Outdoor settings are very popular in retro wedding themes. There’s usually more space and customisable areas to add decorations, lights, fabric and the like without the rules and regulations many reception halls have.
Get Inspired
When planning a retro, throwback themed wedding it’s important to get the right inspiration that will help your creative juices flow. Search online for simplistic, retro inspiration. Look at photos from decades prior and focus on your favourite elements of each of their photos. Turn to your grandparents or parents to hear ideas and parts of their wedding that they loved. While that was ‘modern’ to them at the time, it is now considered retro to you. Add little details throughout the wedding day that keep the guests’ minds trailed back to the good ‘ol days. Things like old-fashioned coke or orange soda bottles, ‘milk ‘n cookie bars’, or using tin plates and ball jars. Don’t go for the expensive bouquets of ridiculously elaborate roses. Choose something simple and retro like gerbera daisies or wildflowers.
Finding Your Invites
You can easily find the styles and designs for rustic and romantic invitations on the Internet. Search for themes, fonts and colour schemes that were popular in the past years and decades. A wood looking background with your names in the middle, a picture of a tree with your initials carved inside a heart or maybe a photograph of the two of you standing where you met, where you first kissed, or under that apple tree where he proposed are great examples of rustic and romance. Use a design or photo editing software to add a vintage filter over the design or photo to continue with this theme.
Choosing a retro style theme for your wedding invitations is a great and creative wedding to have your wedding. This sort of wedding is affordable, trendy and reflects on the love that couples have seen in years past. Happy Planning!

Many brides wish to acknowledge their heritage and nationalities on their wedding day. We call these “heritage weddings” and they embellish the bride’s entire heritage that she holds close and dear. There is a way to have a beautiful heritage themed wedding with unique culture-rich wedding invites on a budget.
A beautiful quote that always rings true is, “As you age naturally, your family shows more and more on your face. If you deny that, you deny your heritage.” The great Frances Conroy said this. Moreover, while we may not want to always look like our mothers or fathers, something we can always agree on is the importance of culture and family. It is the makeup of who we are and is a part of us from the moment we are born till we create our own families.
A Piece of the Past
One of the beautiful things about a heritage themed wedding is that it embraces your family’s past; the culture and history, while also embellishing how it has made you the woman you are. It is important to include family members who hold your heritage near and dear to their hearts as well. Talk to grandparents, great aunts and other relatives to understand your family’s heritage and traditions better, then try to implement all these personal touches to create a truly unique wedding experience. Things like antique heirlooms such as a brooch, a family crest or vintage photos are a great way to include all eras and aspects of your family’s tradition and history.
Invites on a Budget
Invitations can get extremely pricey, and more often than not, the bride is on a very strict budget. Just because you’re on a budget, it doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your on good quality wedding stationary, such as your wedding invitations. By choosing more simple, but elegant design you can save money but still have invites that your guests are sure to talk about.
If you’ve decided on a heritage themed wedding, be sure to choose more classic and elegant wedding invitation design that embodies and captures the vintage and antique look you’re after.In addition to choosing a classic elegant theme, be sure to also choose a font that will reflect a heritage themed wedding- scripted font or old English themed fonts are great for achieving a historic and vintage look.
As you plan your special day with your family history and heritage themed aspects to it; be sure to have fun and enjoy every step of the planning process. It’s a fun time and one to be remembered for generations to come.
