Black tie weddings tend to be a more formal wedding day, oozing sophistication and class. A black-tie dress code indicates a more formal occasion with men wearing tuxedo style suits and women in floor length gowns. Wedding stationery helps set the tone for your black-tie wedding day so your guests know what to expect and can start planning their outfits too!
At LouPaper I have a range of wedding stationery options available to suit a black-tie wedding. The Carmen stationery collection is the epitome of pure class combining handwritten calligraphy, luxury gold foil and refined typography on a monochrome colour palette. Perfect for a black-tie wedding because of its timeless yet contemporary feel.

Or the Emma stationery collection also in a monochrome colour palette with its layers of gold foiled vellum, subtle foliage details, a personalised monogram and a personalised bellyband on the wedding invitation.

I created the Emma stationery collection when working on Simon and Emma’s winter black- tie wedding held at Northbrook Park in Hampshire. A gorgeous style including fresh foliage, romantic white florals and frosted Perspex signage. The couple also chose his and her vow booklets with touches of my handwritten calligraphy on black card and secured with silk ribbon. A gorgeous keepsake from their wedding day.

A black-tie wedding doesn’t have to use a monochrome colour palette. I recommend using calligraphy in foil for a more formal look which many of the collections on my website feature, such as the Ella invitation which incorporates copper foil on a dark green watercolour background.

When we work together on your stationery I can help advise on the wording if you would like it to be more formal to suit the black-tie wedding or to take a more informal approach.
