Whitespace is part of the design
Leave room around headings and short passages so the page feels calm. If a story grows too long, edit the wording or choose an edition with more space. Making every line smaller usually costs more in readability than it gains in detail.
Use plants to frame the story
Botanical illustrations create movement along the page edges. Photographs remain the main personal element. Choose clear couple pictures and simple portraits rather than trying to add floral detail to every image as well.
Choose the right amount of content
Four pages suit a concise welcome, story and day plan. Eight pages give separate moments to the people, the table and the thank-you. Compare the actual PDFs below; the first page alone cannot show how the whole issue will read.
Bring the same calm to the tables
Botanical menus and signs let practical information stand out against a familiar visual style. Keep the names and logistics aligned across pieces. Review the final printed green and the smallest text on the paper you plan to use.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things you might be wondering.
Does the botanical artwork mean the paper is sustainable?
No. A visual style makes no environmental claim. Ask your printer about the specific stock and its certifications if that matters to your order.
Can it work for an indoor wedding?
Yes. The botanical palette can complement an indoor celebration as well as a garden venue.
