Lotus Flower from Debenhams Wedding Invitations

I like this rather novel design from Debenhams Wedding Invitations. It is called Lotus Flower and its design is akin to the real thing. In fact the lotus flower has quite a meaningful and symbolic status in some circles because it begins life at the bottom of muddy murky waters and reveals itself as an object of great beauty. You can attach your own meaning in relation to a wedding if you wish or you could forget the theory and take a look at the invitation for what it is.
The clever folds of this design interlock the petals together and conceal the personalised wording which is fixed inside the flower design on a hexagonal insert. You simply have to pull the petals apart and the whole card opens up in one swift motion. Because of the nature of the design the card lends itself perfectly to have some confetti inside which adds a little surprise when opened.
Debenhams wedding stationery like many high street stores is actually manufactured and personalised by CCA Occasions in Preston who are the market leader in personalised stationery and christmas cards. It is no surprise to learn that a very similar design is also available from other CCA distributors. Take a look at the two designs below and you will see what I mean. The interesting difference is the price. The debenhams Lotus Flower wedding invitation costs £110 for 50 cards whilst the Pretty Petals design can be picked up for £95.20 from Olivia Samuel. If you compare all the items in the set then similar savings can be made.
