Vintage Deco Wedding Invitation

zenadiadesign — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:00:30 +0000

As soon as I met with Sarah I knew we were going to have an amazing time working together. Not only is she a super fun person, her wedding style was right up my alley! Vintage 1920′s, minus the flapper. Sarah said she didn’t want her guests to think they had to show up wearing derby hats, which I loved. In essence, capture the era, minus the fashion. Sarah’s colors were cream, dark eggplant and shades of grey with hints of silver…

Sarah’s invitation goes on the list of my favorites from 2011. With foil stamping, laser cutting, a custom map and vintage photograph from Santa Barbara, it was truly a sight to behold.

The invitation itself was silver foiled, which looked so amazing on the charcoal paper we used. The map was hand drawn by Sarah’s aunt! Stunning with such amazing details!

The image on Sarah’s reply card, was an actual vintage photo taken at one of Santa Barbara’s beautiful beaches.

Custom stamps completed the look of this glamorous invitation suite. In addition to the invitation, I also designed table numbers, menus, thank you notes, and bridesmaid invitations for Sarah.

Inviting red with hints of green, cream and gold make for an elegant garden wedding. Love the idea of mixing fabric patterns to achieve an eclectic look.

Love this rustic chic meets high glamour color palette. I can envision a totally glamorous wedding complete with candle light and chandeliers in an old barn or building on a farmstead.

Dark brown and red get a new look for fall. Throw in a little cream to lighten the palette…

Not being partial to pink and blue together, I do have to say this color palette isn’t bad. When paired with gold, pink and blue has a more elegant and formal look that’s perfect for a spring or winter celebration.
