Tiger lily wedding invitations are very striking and can be used in several different wedding themes and styles. The tiger lily itself is a striking flower, grown from the west coast of British Columbia in Canada through to the southern parts of the United States. In addition the Tiger Lily is often grown in China, Japan, Guam and Korea. The flower is often seen in beautiful Asian paintings, murals and scrolls and continues to be a favorite flower of artists from around the world.
Wedding invitations that include the tiger lily can be used for a wide range of invitation styles and types. One of the more popular tiger lily wedding invitations includes a larger picture of one of the deep orange to pink blossoms on the front of the invitation and smaller tiger lilies decorating the inside. Since the flower is so striking in appearance it is not at all overly feminine, plus it is ideal for using in boutonnieres, bouquets and even in floral centerpieces at the wedding. This use of the durable yet gorgeous flower is a great way to tie together the colors in the wedding party, the invitation as well as the floral arrangements. Keep in mind that different varieties or species of tiger lilies have different colors from a light pinky-red right through to a vibrant yellow and orange, so there is a wonderful opportunity for using the flowers as the center focus of the arrangements.
A spring or garden theme is also ideally suited to the Tiger Lily wedding invitations. The colors again make it a good match, plus the yellows and oranges are going to naturally match with other flowers such as daffodils, tulips, chrysanthemums and even lovely white, yellow or orange to salmon colored roses. As mentioned above these are also ideal cut flowers and will stand up well to outdoor centerpieces. Bringing in the theme of the Tiger Lily invitation to the place settings, linens, place cards and even the thank you cards is a terrific way to continue the theme throughout the whole ceremony and reception. Since the colors are so basic yet varied, it does make choosing complimentary colors much easier and gives you a wide range of options.
One thing to consider when selecting a particular floral arrangement on a wedding invitation is to coordinate the color of the font to highlight both the font and the decorations. Since the Tiger Lily is so vivid in color, selecting a bright font or even a very rich dark font will accomplish this goal. Even a gold font will shine and add depth to the invitation, giving a rich and luxurious look. Different font colors and styles will also either make the invitation look more casual, as for a garden or outdoor wedding, or more formal for a traditional wedding style.
Consider having all your invitations, be they tiger lily or another style, custom printed to include the guests’ names and all relevant information. While this may be slightly more expensive, it really does add to the polished and elegant appearance of the invitations. Choose a font that is easy to read, not one that is so stylized that there is a possibility the information may not be clearly understood. A good way to test this is to have someone read the information typed out that is not aware of what the invitation says. If he or she can read it with no difficulties, it is a good choice. If they have to ask you what something says you may need to adjust the size or the font type. Sometimes darkening or lightening the color can also help, just be sure to test this out before ordering the full number of invitations.
