Getting Inspiration

WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GREAT DRESS, FABULOUS EARRINGS + HOT SHOES?

Inspiration for your invitations and day of materials can come from anywhere... The season, favorite pair of shoes, flowers or your bridesmaid dress selection. I have fallen in love with the Marbella Lorelei Dress from J.Crew.

THE RESULT

The "Claremont" invitation suite from B.T. Elements is a seamless compliment. The floral design and vibrant colors capture the romantic feeling of the bridesmaid dress.

You can use the color palette from the dress for much more than invitations... how about place cards, coasters, gift tags and favor boxes! Motel Deluxe has some stunning coasters shown above. My favorites are the "Peony", "Goldfish" and "Meadowettes". They are also responsible for the amazingly colorful place cards and escort sets. Mix and match for a more eclectic feeling. B.T. Elements creates complimentary favor boxes for all invitations in their stationery albums. The orange and pink color is perfect for summer.

Summer 2009 Invitation Inspiration: Part I

SIZZLING SUMMER SELECTION: PART 1

Felicia & Luke

Felicia and Luke had Elum Designs print these Hawaii inspired invitations for their January Kauai wedding ceremony. The sunny color pallette already sends your mind on a vacation, especially when you are experiencing San Francisco's "Summer."

Reflecting the casual elegance of their Hawaiian nuptials took some serious browse time in our Bridal Bungalow. With Flip flops, florals and fillets this Hawaiian getaway is a sweet success.

The whimsical floral pattern adorning the place cards enhanced the tropical feeling of the invitations set. Mo, our inspirational in-house calligrapher, gave her hand touch to the escort sets and place cards for the day of.

Get inspired by your wedding location, colors or personality to create the perfect invitations for you!
