Use the Classic Fleur de Lis to Stylize Your Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin


Wouldn't it be great to have checks that are attractive and distinctive without being too overwhelming in design and color? These days, we do many things to demonstrate our individuality and style that expanding that to our bank check designs should be natural.

If you've been looking for something that really speaks to your sense of style but you haven't found anything that quite shows the classic and timeless side of you then you might want to consider the Fleur de Lis design. It's been considered a regal design for years and when paired with your finances, it can really say something about your individuality.

Stylish and elegant, the Fleur de Lis design is an everlasting sign of exquisiteness and flair. Recognized as the "French Flower" it has been around for many centuries and is now linked not only with refinement and grace, but was one time utilized on coats-of-arms as a sign of pride and aristocracy, also.

Throughout history, the Fleur de Lis has been used for a variety of reasons, from heraldry to architecture and even paintings and folktales. It is sometimes associated with the Virgin Mary and even has its place in the blockbuster book "The Da Vinci Code." Whether you believe in some of the legends surrounding it or not, there's no denying that this symbol, which stands for both lilies and irises, is beautiful and graceful.

If you're seeking something distinctive for your personal check designs then this is a wonderful design icon for any type of checks. Not just standard in approach, it's also been combined with current colors and patterns in order to give it a more up to date flair.

Don't forget, when you're buying your new checks, that you can often purchase coordinating accessories to go along with your checks. A matching checkbook cover or corresponding address labels can really make your new checks stand out and look different from the more ordinary variety. When you order your checks online you can save on these accessories, too.

As a matter of fact, when you purchase your new checks online from a reputable check printer you can save as much as 50% off the price of your checks. In today's economy everyone is doing their best to save a little bit of money so saving some hard earned cash on your checks is a real bonus.

The convenience of ordering your checks online can't be ignored. You no longer have to make a special trip to your bank to place your check order and can instead do it from the comfort of your own home and computer. Plus, you'll have loads of check designs to choose from which is also another big incentive.

When ordering your checks online just make sure that you have your routing number and checking account number on hand. It should only take about 5 days to receive your checks in the mail and that could even be faster than your local bank got them to you in the past.
