Vintage Garden Wedding Invitation

zenadiadesign — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:00:54 +0000

When my sister-in-law got engaged last year, I was so excited to be able to help her with some of her wedding planning, and mainly, her wedding invitations! Our first order of business was to come up with a color palette that we could use for the invitations and carry onto the wedding celebration. I came up with several palettes for Angela, and after looking them over, she decided on this one…

Next I went to work designing her invitations. Angela loves books, so my main inspiration was vintage books. I love how old hardcover books have the book cloth on the spine so I decided to incorporate that look into her pocket folder invitation.

I also designed a monogram for her and Jack, her fiance.

To complete the invitation, I created custom stamps for their mailing and reply envelopes.

Tip: Custom stamps are a great way to tie the invitation suite together. You can create a look all your own and really make your envelopes pop!

I absolutely loved how this invitation turned out. Definitely one of my favorites from the year so far! Angela and Jack were married a couple weekends ago, and I am so honored to have been able to work with them on their wedding day papers. Congrats you two!

Speaking of Magpies Cakes (from our Wednesday post), how about the absolutely incredible stained glass cake featured top left? When I saw this picture I immediately saved it because I mean really, how stunning is this cake! I decided to make a color palette around the cake and came up with a beautiful, soft, Spring time feeling color palette using soft blue, green and a toned down rosy pink/red.

Color Palette: Formal Garden

Green, gold and cream make up this formal color palette. I envision an event in a formal garden with incredible elegant details. Perhaps gold velvet chairs at the head table and luxurious linens on the tables.

A few weeks ago I received my new issue of Pointe Magazine and fell in love with the color on the cover. Maria Riccetto’s dress, along with the background color is just about as fun and spring-y as you can get. This color palette was inspired by the cover of Pointe, located in the top center of the color palette. As I was making this palette, I decided to throw little hints of gray into the mix just to see how I liked it, and I think that would be a definite option for an added color to this palette. What do you think?
