Paper orchid invitations can be as formal or informal as you would like. You can create some of the most beautiful wedding invitations by using the beauty of an orchid. In nature, orchids come in a variety of colors and shapes so as you design your own unique paper orchid invitations.

You can start out with purchasing silk orchids and tracing them onto a beautiful background paper for your paper orchid invitations. You can use any color you desire. Just an outline of a few silk orchids in purple will give your invitations an elegant design. You can find all different kinds of cards for your background such as dove gray marble, metallic champagne, snow with silk embedded with silk fibers, or any other color you might prefer. Now, take one of your silk orchids, flatten it so you can trace around it. Using translucent vellum or even plastic wrap, trace the orchid. Once you have done the tracing, you can lay the traced outline on your chosen background and once again trace around your own design. You may even wish to use the translucent vellum or plastic wrap on the background. You can paint the traced orchid in any color you desire and kind of crinkle it, to create an awesome design.

Once you have the background completed for your paper orchid invitations, you can use another slightly smaller background card for placing your information such as time, place, and date.

Now, for the overlay, you can use the translucent vellum and once again place one outline of an orchid on the vellum. You are creating a very stylish paper orchid invitation that will be unlike any other.

You are not quite finished, now you can add other items to your paper orchid invitations such as small silk orchids along the top to hold the announcement in place against the background. Ribbon and lace can also be used to create a fancier paper orchid invitation.

Paper orchid invitations are as creative as you will allow yourself to be. Try using plain typing paper until you find the exact color coordination that you like. This way you can test different colors without rushing out and purchasing the background and the rest of the accessories only to learn you do not like the outcome.

Enjoy creating lasting memories with your own unique paper orchid invitations.
