Introducing a new Jean M paper color: Eggplant!
Brides have been asking us for a richer paper color. One that’s deeper than our light, fresh, springtime orchid. Richer than our bright, vibrant, purple shimmer. One that’s perfect for weddings all year long.
Our answer? New eggplant paper wedding invitations! You’ll love the elegance and the versatility of this color. It looks equally beautiful with…
Eggplant Invitation Card with Pocket
…shades of silver and grey, as we show with our Eggplant Invitation Card with Pocket. We chose silver ink, clear rhinestones and a silver shimmer pocket. Glamorous!
Eggplant Layered Invitation with Pocket
…shades of shimmering gold, as featured in our Eggplant Layered Invitation with Pocket. We chose a champagne shimmer back layer and added champagne shimmer enclosure cards. The gold ink makes the entire look gleam!
Eggplant Invitation Card
…a pop of color, like a bright fuchsia envelope and a fuchsia rhinestone! The Eggplant Invitation Card is printed in white for a fresh look.
Eggplant Layered Invitation
…a bold accent like an unexpected layer of margarita paper and a margarita ooh la color envelope. The Eggplant Layered Invitation is printed with a modern monogram and white imprint for a look that tops the trends.
How will you incorporate the new eggplant paper into your wedding? We’d love to hear your ideas!
Enjoy the new color!

Look of the Week from Jean M
We’re coming into that time of year when we start to see spring on the horizon. Just the thought of spring lifts the spirits after the gloom of winter!
So to lift your spirit, this week we’re featuring a fun and fresh scheme for a spring wedding – spring green and soft blush pink.
Look of the Week - Dramatic Damask
Starting with the save the date photo card, called Colorful Band. A great way to announce your wedding plans with color and style.
Our Dramatic Damask invitation is shown in fresh green. This invitation comes in a variety of inspiring colors to match any wedding theme. We added a blush pink ribbon and envelope for contrast. The additional pieces you’ll need for your response, reception and thank you cards are available to match.
At the ceremony, this Vintage Damask wedding program will coordinate beautifully, giving a cohesive look to carry through the color scheme.
At the reception, the splashes of blush pink on the napkins and favor boxes pull the whole concept together.

Color Inspiration
Choosing your wedding colors is an important step in setting the style for your celebration. Are you wondering where to start when selecting the colors of your big day? Consider these factors.
Your Season
Some seasons have “built-in” colors, like browns and spice tones in autumn, pastel pink or purple in spring, red for Valentine’s Day, icy blue and silver in winter, and bold floral shades in summer. Take advantage of those seasonal colors at the time of your celebration and build your wedding around them.
Your Location
Wedding in the tropics? Go with exotic colors and bright tones to make a splash. Beach wedding? The colors of the sand, sea and sky are your natural choices. Formal wedding in a traditional church? Choose rich cream, pure white and touches of silver or gold for elegance.
Your Attire
If you’ve fallen in love with the color of your bridesmaids’ dresses, there’s no reason you can’t choose stationery and other elements to coordinate! Even if you’re dressed in formal black and white, remember to choose a color to add a fresh “pop” (like red, green, yellow or blue) and bring style to your event.
Your Heritage
Show your pride in your heritage by choosing wedding colors that symbolize it. Couples of Irish descent could choose shades of green. Certain Asian couples may add in red for good luck.
Your Personality
What’s YOUR favorite color? Choose it for your wedding, no matter what time of year you’re married, no matter what your wedding location. And there’s nothing at all wrong with combining many different shades of the same color (fuchsia, light pink, coral, red, etc.) for a look that’s lush and elegant.
Once you have chosen your wedding colors, bring it into every element of your wedding! Start with invitations that introduce your color scheme and set the tone for your event. Then accent with accessories that will flow your color from the ceremony to the reception, like programs, napkins, place cards, favors and decorations. And don’t forget the finishing touches, like ribbons, rhinestones, pearls and seals.
Take a look at our Color Inspiration collage below to give you ideas for mixing, matching and coordinating colors. Then get creative and start building your colorful wedding!
We love the look of a bright color paired with black. It’s dramatic and modern! Choose Retro Posies Invitation in bubble gum pink, Mod Medallion Invitation in black and fuchsia, Elegant Filigree in black with a fuchsia pocket, Garden Trellis Invitation in fuchsia or Jean M Fuchsia Invitation Card — all will set a pretty in pink tone perfectly. Accent with satin and chiffon ribbon and pink rhinestones for elegance and just a touch of sparkling glamour!
So many color choices — so much flexibility in creating your look!
Experience Jean M’s beautiful color options and start exploring the combinations that are perfect for your wedding!
