FMP: Wedding Ideas Magazine


After taking a look at Wedding magazine I picked up another magazine, this time a much smaller one that mainly focuses on wedding ideas. After flicking through a few pages I noticed that although their main focus is on the bride’s appearance, the majority of the articles were about the decorations included in a wedding. For example, on one of the articles they’ve listed budget-friendly decoration ideas.

The first signs of stationary designs was on the 20 fab finds:



Then there is a whole section on stationary that covers 20 pages, although the amount of stationary designs displayed were minimal and for each page there was a page for adverts so in reality there were only 9 pages of designs. This disappointed me a bit as I expected more designs.

However they have displayed current trends in wedding stationary: glamorous, monochrome, bows, silver, 1920s and sparkle. After that they had a chic theme with the other stationary such as R.S.V.P and Save the Date cards, and another page on pocket fold invites.






The one that I found most eye-catching was the monochrome trend because it displayed an elegant appearance and reminded me of very expensive weddings where the women would wear beautiful gowns for the occasion. It is also quite unusual, as it didn’t go by the usual pastel colours that are normally worn at a wedding, and several designs used silhouettes.

I then decided to take another flick through the whole magazine to see what other designs included this monochrome trend.



Conclusion:

All of these themes had one consistent aspect, floral patterns, and this was reflected in the other wedding magazine as well. The silhouettes in the monochrome theme displayed an art-deco influence as well.
