Incorporating Metallics and Foil to Add a Touch of Glamour to Your Wedding Invitations

When it comes to creating memorable wedding stationery (the kind your guests will talk about for years to come), it’s all about the details—and nothing says “elegance” quite like incorporating metallic elements.

From foil wedding invitations that dazzle your guests the moment they open the envelope, to gold mirror welcome signs that create a show-stopping first impression, metallic finishes can instantly elevate the look and feel of your wedding day.

Choosing Your Metallic Hue

At Lily & Roe Co., we offer four stunning foil color options to suit any wedding style.

• Gold Foil: Timeless and versatile, gold pairs beautifully with just about any color palette—from soft blush tones to deep, dramatic hues. It’s a perfect choice for couples who want that extra hint of luxury without overthinking their palette.
• Silver Foil: With its cool, reflective surface, silver shines best alongside cooler shades like navy, dark green, or black. If your wedding aesthetic skews modern or minimalist, silver foil wedding invitations can give your suite a sleek, chic finish.
• Rose Gold Foil: Soft and romantic, rose gold’s warm glow stands out against subtle neutrals and pastel shades, bringing a hint of on-trend sophistication. It’s an ideal option if you’re aiming for a modern-classic style with just a touch of contemporary flair.
• Copper Foil: Earthy yet refined, copper foil looks stunning paired with green tones—making it a dream choice for fall weddings or nature-inspired celebrations. Consider pairing it with terracotta envelopes or deep emerald accents to highlight that rich, organic feel.

Where to Incorporate Metallic Foil in Your Stationery Suite

We believe in a cohesive wedding aesthetic from start to finish. That’s why we offer foil options on our invitations, save-the-dates, and guest books, allowing you to weave a consistent metallic thread throughout your paper suite.

And if you really want to go all-in on that luxe look, consider our gold mirror welcome signs or seating charts. These statement pieces catch the light beautifully and instantly set a glamorous tone as guests arrive.

While it’s tempting to layer multiple metallic hues, like gold chargers, silver flatware, copper place cards, mixing metals can be tricky if you’re not working with a professional wedding planner or designer. Unless you have a strong design background or the guidance of an experienced planner, it’s best to stick with one metallic palette. By selecting a single foil color, you’ll ensure a streamlined, sophisticated look rather than a messy jumble of competing finishes.

How Foil Stamping Works

Wondering how your invitations achieve that radiant, light-catching finish? Foil stamping is similar to letterpress printing, except instead of ink, a sheet of metallic foil is pressed into the paper using a custom plate. This process creates a beautiful raised effect that not only looks luxurious but also feels exceptional to the touch. The result is stationery with depth, dimension, and a bit of sparkle!
