Minimalist elegance
"Simplicity adorns," Bart begins. "Minimalism is an enduring trend. Simple, clean designs with timeless typography or minimalist illustration are particularly popular." Couples are opting for subtle, elegant details. These ads emphasise the beauty of simplicity and exude a modern, sophisticated aesthetic.
"In addition to the minimalist design and colour palette, couples today prefer a fold-free card. All the important information is clear at a glance and, again, we find that simplicity prevails."
The playful charm of printing techniques
"Playing with different printing techniques adds character to a wedding invitation," explains Bart. The printing process, in which the design is printed into the paper, creates a palpable depth and sophistication.
"Foil printing is a popular choice," Bart continues. Glossy accents are applied to the paper, instantly creating a luxurious look. "As well as the classic silver and copper foil, at Anderz we also experiment with coloured foil to personalise the product a little more. In addition, blind embossing is becoming increasingly popular for weddings. By embossing the paper without ink, we create very elegant relief patterns". Each technique offers an extra artistic dimension to your wedding invitations.
Exclusive wedding announcements
Bart: "At Anderz, it's important to establish a bond with the customer. We listen to couples' stories and explore their preferred style. Does the couple have a specifictheme in mind for their wedding? We start with a blank sheet of paper and work with personalised illustrations to integrate the theme into the wedding announcement. We then use the same style for the menus, mass booklets and other items for the wedding party. In this way, all the printed material for your wedding forms a beautiful whole.
