Pastel Wedding Invitation Inspiration
Romantic, soft, delicate – no wonder pastel colours are so popular for weddings.
Think baby pink, sky blue and pale lilac. Add in pastel greens and yellows and you have a look that works beautifully across many different styles.
The Card Gallery have pulled together some of our favourites to inspire you with invitations for a pastel themed wedding and styling tips to go with them.
Watercolour Roses
The pink version of this design (it’s also available in orange or purple) features a painted rose in the palest possible shade brought to life with subtle foliage in blues and greens. The translucent look of watercolours is perfect for pastels.
Styling Tip:
These fab prosecco cocktails are sophisticated enough for the fussiest guest while still retaining their rustic charm.

Love Tree
If your style is more quirky, pastels can still work for you.
Love Tree is a contemporary design with heart shaped leaves in delicate pastel shades.
Styling Tip:
Instead of a guest book, carry the tree theme through with a Wedding Wishes Tree. Provide matching Love Tree favour tags for your guests to write their messages.
Lace Butterflies
We just love these lace-winged butterflies – so romantic in pastel pinks, blues and lilacs. Butterflies are always a popular wedding theme and matched with lace they make a great combination.
Styling Tip:
Ask your florist to add a butterfly or two into your bouquet to take the theme right through your wedding.
Shabby Chic Polka Dot & Roses
Country style floral prints are so popular and this shabby chic design in blues and pinks matched with rustic polka dots really sets the scene.
Styling Tip:
Create a fabulous afternoon tea style dessert buffet with mismatched vintage china. Use pale pastels colours for cake pops and macarons and finish with a scrumptious tiered cake iced in pale blue and finished with pink ribbon and sugar roses.
Birdcage with Lovebirds
Go for modern charm with this adorable pair of lovebirds with a vintage birdcage. The birdcage, birds and branch are delicately line drawn and then highlighted with hints of pastel colours.
Styling Tip:
Carry the birdcage theme through to your reception and use them as centrepieces. Choose a darker colour birdcage and fill with flowers to match your colours (or ask your florist to create them). To match the style of the invitations, keep it really simple with a just a few flowers and a little foliage. Alternatively place a couple of different sized candles inside the cage for a really romantic effect.
