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!!!
It's been a big week! My wedding collection was featured on Invitation Crush on Monday, Dallas Tidbits on Tuesday and today, these fun crawfish boil invitations were featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper!
I've been wanting to share these invitations for awhile. I had a really fun time designing them and you can read a little bit more about them over on Oh So Beautiful Paper!
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!
While everyone else is kicking off the official start of summer, all the photo card designers are busy trying to get in the holiday spirit. Why? Because the biggest challenge of the year is the Minted holiday card competition and it's been in full swing for the past couple of weeks. It's the biggest challenge with over 2,000 submissions. Luckily, they already had a round of voting to narrow them down a bit. Anyone who loves pretty paper, will love browsing through these designs, so if that's you, and you want to help Minted choose which designs they will sell, head on over and vote for a few (or all 1,170). Below are my submissions for this year's collection: Believe, Ombre, Merriest, Garland, Merry Merry, Bright and Holiday Classic.
Happy Holidays Voting!
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!
