Something old, something new, something borrowed, something… classically timeless to unify the entire event, like beautiful save the date cards. Weddings are all about traditions, so why not extend that same principle to your wedding invitations?
If your Pinterest wedding board is filled with rose bouquets and chandeliered halls, then classic wedding invitations are right up your alley. And with Zola’s traditional save the dates, you’ll kick off your wedding year in timeless style.
Classic isn’t quite the same as “simple” or “neutral” styles, which can work with almost anything. Some weddings fit the traditional look more than others. You can easily pair classic save the dates with these traditional wedding details:
Season – The best part of classic style? Its versatility. Timeless and chic, classic wedding save the dates work across the calendar year. However, there’s also something magical about a traditional fall or winter wedding, with its extravagant decor, formal proceedings, and black-tie finery.
Location – Hallowed churches, lush gardens, splendid banquet halls—traditional wedding venues always have a feel of grandeur. If choosing a luxurious, upscale location, then a classic formal wedding invitation with a custom design will set the mood for guests.
Style & Theme – Prefer neutrals over bold colors? Carnations over baby’s breath and greenery? Ceremony and rituals over alternative programming? Then a traditional, softly romantic save the date card will fit your wedding perfectly.
You don’t have to be a world-class designer to create save the dates that both you and your wedding guests will love. Zola can help you find and personalize the perfect classic invite aesthetic. Here are a few classic wedding invitation ideas for you to explore:
Color – Classic save the dates often have a simple black and white color palette, but they don’t have to be fully monochromatic. Accent colors like rich blues, muted greens, and feminine pinks can all evoke the traditional wedding look.
Foil – Who says you can’t update the aesthetic of your classic cards? Give traditional wedding invitations a timeless but personalized feel with subtle touches, like small gold or silver foil embellishments.
Custom Photo – Traditionally, most wedding invites were minimal, text-only cards. But of course, a loving picture of you and your partner can still fit into a traditional theme. A simple, romantic shot surrounded by elegant text will beautifully capture your style.
With Zola, classic never means boring. With so many customization options, your traditional wedding invitations will still feel like you. And that’s just the start.
