We love the relaxed, yet elegant vibe of rustic weddings and created these pretty invitations, inspired by this popular trend. Starting with the on trend gray-green Meadow card and layered with a white overlay for a luxurious heavyweight feel. The cards were then wrapped with a romantic lace wrap and satin moss green band ($1.34 for each invitation with envelope from Formal-Invitations.com, order at http://www.formal-invitations.com/ARY-MEAD-LAMO.html). The overlay was printed with a vintage flower illustration, that also could be used on place cards, menu cards, programs and favor labels ($14 for a book and cd of 417 images, also from Formal-Invitations.com at http://www.formal-invitations.com/OA-ART-PAIS.html).
I think this gorgeous silk Avalana bridal gown ($450 from Coast London) also lends the same, elegant-rustic look with a modern edge… love the high/low hemline!
If your wedding or event is in October, order your invitation in July so you will have plenty of time to diy or have printed, assemble, address and mail out your announcements… invitations should be mailed six to eight weeks before your event.
We put together this fall invitation idea for October weddings or events using a modern green heavyweight card and white overlay wrapped with floral lace and a chic blue plaid tartan wrap ($1.74 each from Formal-Invitations.com, order at http://www.formal-invitations.com/AR-ANJO-LABP.html). The overlay was printed with a simple monogram, using the typeface Century Gothic… the rest was set in Lichten Script for a nice contrast.
Continuing the lace theme, we found this gorgeous rhinestone and french chantilly headband from TwigsandHoney.com ($185). ultra pretty with a 100% silk ribbon self-tie, available in white lace (as pictured) or ivory lace.
Inspired by Pantone’s fall color report, we put together a fresh, modern palette using pear green, teal and royal purple. The designers secret to using these colors is to choose one dominant (60%), a secondary (30%) and an accent color (10%) throughout your event for a consistent look.
We used these hues to create this fabulous wedding invitation using a heavyweight Anjou background card and crisp white overlay wrapped in romantic lace and a contemporary royal purple satin belly bands ($1.26 each from Formal-Invitations.com). Teal would also look great with the lace and purple band. Order at http://www.formal-invitations.com/AYR-ANJO-LARO.html
