Elegant. An adjective meaning graceful, pleasing to look at, stylish in manner or appearance.
Elegant wedding invitations are tasteful and refined. No bold graphics or wacky colors here. These designs epitomize timeless sophistication and polish, setting the scene for a ceremony and a reception that are guaranteed to be instant classics.
1. Natural Floral
Two shades of blushing pink and sloping script come together to make this elegant wedding program shine. Rather than featuring drawings or photographs of flowers, Natural Floral evokes pretty blossoms using colors you’d normally find in a garden or special bouquet. It’s elegant, it’s romantic, and it’s just right for a spring or summer wedding.
2. Floral Bliss
Fan-style programs may not seem like an elegant choice at first glance but think of all those tres chic people at lawn parties strolling the grounds at Kensington Palace with naught but a fan to keep them cool and comfy. Sold? Good, because Floral Bliss is so pretty it deserves time to shine. You’ll love how the dainty flowers play off the vintage-meets-modern geometric frame outlining your names.
3. Formal Statement
Elegance with a side of modernity? Yes, please! Formal Statement brings together the hallmarks of two seemingly disparate styles to create a unified whole — kind of apropos, don’t you think? From the expertly blended block text and twirling cursive to petite polka dots that help your wedding-day details stand out, everything about Formal Statement is well thought out and ready to charm.
4. Blooming Rose
Bring your spring or summer wedding to life with a program decorated in the graceful outline of lush flowers and springs of not-so-green greenery. Sticking to just the outline of floral elements keeps this design pristine, while the wash of dusty rose on the back of the program contributes a bit of color (customize with your preferred shade to keep things in line with your overall color scheme).
5. Simply Elegant
Simply Elegant reads like a program at the theater or opera. With you and your sweetheart’s name front and center like the title of a love story followed by wedding details and the order of events in delicate typeface, this is wedding stationery that whispers instead of yells. It’s just what you want for a sophisticated brunch or black-tie sit-down dinner.
6. Classic Allure
If William and Kate weren’t bound by royal tradition, they might have fallen in love with Classic Allure. Intricate flourishes provide an elegant backdrop for your names and create an eye-catching border around the list of your attendants. Add in gorgeous cursive lettering and you have a program that’s class incarnate.
7. Greenery Crown
Greenery Crown is proof that you can create an entire vibe using just a single sprig of greenery. The rest of this suite is more generous in its use of natural elements, including arches of frothy ferns and evergreen branches across everything from your invitations to the RSVP postcards. But the subtlety of this program is everything you want when minimalist elegance is what you need.
8. Love Letters
Love Letters infuses elegance with a bit of vintage flair thanks to decorative flourishes that wouldn’t look out of place on antique furniture or royal letterhead. The single-page flat wedding program version of this suite is particularly refined, with space for thank you on the bottom of the program’s front. And honestly, few things are more elegant than saying thanks to those who have shown you love and support.
9. Forever Exquisite
Forever Exquisite is elegance with a little pep in its step. The tea-length program has some modern elements (the order of events in all-capital block text) but it’s the beautifully damask background on the reverse that really commands attention. Switch from the default plum shade to platinum or lilac for a tone-on-tone design that’s less bold but no less opulent.
10. Whispering Feather
It’s clear from the name of Whispering Feather that the delicate wisps dancing across this program are meant to be feathers, but they’re just abstract enough to suit a variety of intents. Call them flourishes. Call them a visual representation of wind. They might even be the shadows of an exotic flower. Whatever you see when you look at these elegant embellishments, they’re definitely sophisticated enough to impress even the most judgmental guests.
11. Damask Elegance
Damask is a type of woven fabric often used for high-end textiles like luxury upholstery and fancy tablecloths. Here, it’s the heart of Damask Elegance, a wedding program design that’s so ornate you feel like you could reach out and actually feel the texture. This program would quickly bring a sense of refinement to an otherwise simply decorated venue, or you can pair it with other damask elements like embellished seat covers or tapestries for an exponentially more impactful result.
12. Darling Type
Darling Type starts with a playful bit of feminine versus masculine design thanks to separate fonts representing the bride and groom’s names. Lots of white space and a streamlined layout contribute to the suite’s modern elegance with just a touch of color in the form of strategic accents that tell guests' eyes where to go.
13. Modern Lace
Falling in love with the casual elegance of Modern Lace means appreciating how a flower swatch can feel both home and high end at the same time. Add your names in cursive and the ceremony details on the back, which features an extra border of colored lace for effect.
14. Etched Elegance
Vintage elements and romance abound with Etched Elegance, a wedding program that uses a deco-floral border to frame your names and wedding-day details. We love the use of flaxen gold on the back (or the inside, depending on the style of program you choose), but it’s the little rose “etched” into the very bottom that will leave guests feeling extra sweet and sentimental.
15. Naturally Leaves
Outdoor weddings can be elegant, too! Naturally Leaves is tastefully artistic, with trailing script meandering across the page and a few simple sprigs of would-be greenery (monotone coloring keeps things extra classy) sketched alongside. The order of events and wedding party introductions are similarly elegant, with the same script used as headlines and block text below.
Elegance is in the eye of the beholder, but these stunning wedding program templates should be more than enough to help you plan what promises to be a very dignified day.
