Grotto, from the Regal collection, is a great example of an invitation being simple and eye catching at the same time. These days, the calligraphy fonts that are available are insanely gorgeous, and I wanted an invitation that really featured one. The couples' names really stand out, but balance perfectly with the rest of the clean text.
For this board, I got inspiration from cherries and apples and fall-ish colors. I love the feel of rich colors with clean white. Lovely.
Last week, Love and Lavender featured a photo shoot that I did with some local Dallas wedding vendors. Inspired by the 4th of July, I created some wedding announcements, signage and tags for little pie pops, made by the secretly talented baker/photographer, Catie Ronquillo. It was festive and fun, I love the vintage elements and gorgeous red flowers!
Thanks to Jen Rios Design, Catie Ronquillo Photography, Red Sole Events, Period Charm Rentals, Beauty and the Blush, and Sugar Bee Sweets!
I love participating in these because I love working with local vendors - meeting them or getting to know them better. Plus, it's just plain fun to be creative together.
Ruffled teamed up with Minted and chose a wedding invitation to inspire a photo shoot and promote a contest... and they chose my 'Twine' invitation! It was such a nice surprise and quite an honor.
If you've checked out Minted's wedding collection, then you would understand my surprise! So many gorgeous designs. It was a great end to a great week.
Check out the gorgeous shoot on Ruffled's blog. It was styled by The Stylish Soiree and photographed by Tinywater Photography. Thank you Ruffled!!!
The Vegas wedding invitation, from the Resort Collection, pairs the fun Vegas wedding theme with clean style. I wanted something really chic and Vegas inspired, but not cliché, and I think I got there. My favorite part of it is the transparent overlay of the icons. The flat printing is stunning but I think letterpress would create a really amazing effect as well.
I've been getting a lot great feedback on this invitation, which is a nice surprise. I added it at the last minute to round out my resort collection, and I think it was really meant to be. When I think of a Vegas wedding, all I think of is FUN - I mean, come on - it's Vegas! When you are having a destination wedding, it's fun to embrace the theme, because your interpretation of it is likely to be unlike anyone else's!
The Catalina invitation is the perfect balance of gorgeous vintage florals and clean type. Throw in the lovely color combo of pink and gold and this feminine invitation can't get any sweeter. The layout is one of my favorites as well.
This inspiration board was almost as fun to create as the invitation. It's such an elegant color combo. It's fresh and current but with a touch vintage at the same time! Love!
