Thistle DIY Wedding Invitation Ideas

The main flower of Scotland is called the Thistle. This would be a good choice to start with as an idea for your invites. As most people associate this flower with the Scottish Heritage.

A wonderful purple coloured head with a beautiful green stem. This can be an elegant flower for the front of your wedding invitation. Brides can choose to have the flower all by itself. By adding a little tartan you can give your invite a truly Scottish Theme.

If you wish to save some extra money, you can use a single sheet of card. The kits are relatively inexpensive to purchase.

You can practise drawing the flower first of all until you are happy with the results. Another option would be to take some photographs of the flower out in the countryside. This is a good idea if you change your mind and decide you don't want to draw. Both options would be great ideas for your invites. Try and keep the invite simple and let the flower do the talking.

A suggestion would be to begin by writing the words Wedding Invitation across the top of the invitation.
In the centre draw a Thistle.

Another option would be to intertwine the couples' first initials around the flower.

Brides can change the colour of the flower to suit the wedding theme or bridesmaids' dresses. The color choice is up to both of you.

Try painting some flowers in a line underneath the main thistle. You invitations will not only be unique. They will also be within budget and hand made by the bride and groom.

You can also collect and press Thistles onto the front of the wedding invitation to create a unique invitation.

Brides can choose a lilac background as their wedding invitation. A white thistle can be drawn over the top of the lilac background. This will show off the simple and elegant flower at its best.

Once you have decided on your Thistle flower. This can be used as your template and saved on your computer. Once you are happy with the results, you can purchase kits on line. You can print off as many or few invites as required.
