Looking for a unique and modern invitation? We love the organic look of these hand marbled fine paper sashes, in luxe hues of green, pink, orange and metallic gold (no two are alike), wrapped around a rich heavyweight ivy green card and crisp white overlay ($1.18 from Formal-Invitations.com). The modern sash is a great contrast to the vintage monogram, which could also be printed on favors, menus and programs. Order at http://www.formal-invitations.com/AS-IVY-MARBLE.html.
We also love these one-of-a-kind birthstone necklaces from Prismera.com, with the same mod-organic vibe, perfect for bridesmaids or holiday gifts ($75-$160). The collection took the concept of birthstone jewelry and gave it a stylish update. They are delicate clusters of aquamarine and pyrite, keishi pearl and rock crystal, ruby and lapis lazuli. Mini gem collages that are eclectic, edgier, and much more suited to your sophisticated, grown up self.
