One way to make an instant impression with your wedding invitation suite? Add a little extra shine with the help of a metallic color palette. These hues are instant classics, and they always bring an extra dose of elegance to wedding details for an all-around stunning celebration. Plus, they look especially gorgeous alongside a whole slew of popular wedding colors—gold, silver, copper, rose gold, and gunmetal complement practically any palette you already have in mind. And with foil pressing, engraving, and calligraphy, metallic accents are becoming more and more popular for celebrations of every style. It's no surprise we're seeing so many glittering invitation suites to match.

Use metallic colors in your wedding invites to set the tone for your wedding theme, whether that means a little bit of gold for vintage or modern weddings alike, or a bit of silver or copper to keep your metallic selections feeling fresh and on-trend. There's basically no paper detail that doesn't benefit from the addition of a touch of metallic color. And the color options are endless, so feel free to think beyond neutrals and consider fun options like metallic blue or green.

From copper details to golden brushstrokes, there's lots of inspiration to take away from these gilded, reflective, and metallic invitations. Whether you want something statement-making—like the Haute Papier invitation suite with a graphic copper pattern shown here—or something more subtle, there's a way to make metallics part of your big-day paper goods. Click through here for some of our favorite ideas.

Gold Is the New Black

24 Wedding Details with Gold Foil

Black ink on white card stock might be traditional, but it's far from your only option if you favor a classic look. For a unique twist on timeless style, Written Word pressed gold foil onto marbled paper, then mailed the invites off in an envelope calligraphed with matching ink and an elegant wax seal.

A Modern Marvel

Wedding Colors: Black, White, and Gold

Foil printing on clear acrylic is a modern idea for your invitations, as this Papered Wonders, Inc. suite goes to show. The weight of the card makes it feel significant, and the metallic shimmers even more. Go big with your monogram and put a matching one on the back of the envelope flap, as seen here.

Just a Little Gold

There's no rule that says your metallic details have to be on the invitation itself. The Idea Emporium dressed up these envelopes with a thick gold edge and kept the invitation itself entirely black-and-white.

An Elegant Shimmer

Design House of Moira

What's not to love about this nontraditional invitation? Pale gold foil (the color is actually somewhere in between gold and silver) added a fresh vibe to Design House of Moira's formal calligraphy, which was actually on an angle itself. The torn edges of the vellum mixed traditional and modern even more.

All Natural

Marcucci Photography

Laid-back designs can still feel meaningful. Just look at this Love Lettering invitation for proof. The pro calligraphed the information in a glowing gold ink onto a texture parchment, then added a piece of muslin behind it. If you're having a small wedding and can go the hand-written route, just imagine how special it would be to get this in the mail.
