We’re talking about hot trends in wedding invitations, and one of the hottest colors to use right now is an elegant chocolate brown. The netrual shade can work well as a grounding tone, and it has led many couples to choose chocolate brown as a border or background color. It will look great in contrast with brighter colors you might want to use on your invitation, which might pop out a little too much without the chocolate brown to tone it down and ground it. And many people are even using Chocolate Brown as an alternative to black for their font color on their invitations, reply cards, and maps. It's a great color that is gaining in popularity because it just looks good with almost every other color, from subtle and classy chartreuse (shar-toose) to bright and popping candy apple red. And some couples have even started printing their invitations on chocolate brown paper, which is perfect because whatever color font you choose will look good on it. Just make sure you pick nice chocolate brown card stock when you go shopping for the invitations and you will surpise your guests with your tasteful yet unique choice.
