Today we’re sharing flat lay inspiration ideas! You may have seen on social media that we’ve been doing “Flat Lay Fridays” and sharing some of our favorite flat lays from past weddings. This has been such a fun series and sharing a part of weddings that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves! A lot of people think of stationery as just being paper and that it’s not important. We disagree! It’s the first thing people see when it comes to your wedding and the first sneak peek they have at what the day will be like.
Sure, some people may throw it away quickly, but others will have it on their fridge for months in anticipation of your big day! More importantly, it’s a way to set the scene for your wedding day and get your guests just as excited as you are! With all that goes into stationery and celebrating the talent of incredible stationers, we love how mainstream flat lay styling has become. It may seem like a waste of time to some, but for us it captures the beauty of the wedding you’ve planned and celebrates the art of your amazing wedding vendors.
1. Meredith and Alex
Fun Fact – Meredith and Alex’s two-year-old son, Mack, provided the design for their wedding paper goods – the invitations, the menus, and signage. With amazing guidance and creativity from The Flourishing Penguin, the invitation suite, in particular was gorgeous, as it was sentimental and meaningful.

One of Lynne and Ray’s “musts” for their 10-year vow renewal celebration was to have gorgeous invitations and stationery. Bridget Goldsmith hit their whole invitation suite and other paper goods out of the park. It was all so stunning and dramatic.
