rends come and go. The art is to be
creative and make it your own. Here are
some ideas of what’s in at the moment
and what’s to come.
Vintage will still be big next year, but
not the current ‘rustic vintage’ as much
as ‘luxury vintage’. Lean towards the Art
Deco (1950) era and include more glitz,
glamour, ‘sparklies’ and bling. Lace is still
the classic and most popular element.
Lazercut designs are in high demand;
they create a lace look. Combine with
pearls, diamante, hints of silver, bronze
or copper foil, pearlescent card and
paper, with satin sheen ribbon.
Letterpress printing is extremely
popular due to the beautiful textured
finish created by the old-fashioned
printing method. Paper choices range
from thick boards (450gm) to 90gm
cotton rich papers in a variety of colours
and shades however cream or white
remain the ,most practical.
Florals - big blooms, softer country
styles and Shabby Chic – with colours
like blues, lavenders and rose, or deeper
