Art Deco Wedding Invitation

zenadiadesign — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:00:01 +0000

Art deco, a period of streamlined simplicity and bold shapes and patterns, has always been by far one of my favorite time periods in art history. One of our newest ready made collection invitations, Deco, is inspired by all things from the art deco era. Below is our inspiration for the piece and the invitation.

Simple or ornate, rusty or polished, vintage keys can lend a charming addition to any type of decor. Attach escort cards to them, use one as a charm on your bouquet; the possibilities are endless.

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.

Pushing The Envelope

A while back I contributed to the online magazine Nonpareil. It was a fun experience for me, and really got me thinking outside the box for invitation and save the date possibilities. Below is a sampling of what Zenadia Design created for the magazine, all shot by the fabulous Gena Susan.

The first invitation we created was a save the date, using a vintage perfume bottle. We made a vintage perfume bottle box for the save the date to be delivered in. This was my favorite piece to create, and I just love the bottle!

The second invitation we created was a plate invitation with a napkin reply card. Vintage tea party of picnic was my inspiration for this piece.

Last but not least, we created a love letter invitation, with a letter reply card. Sweet and personal.

With dessert bars still as popular as ever, brides are finding new goodies to add to their line up of already delectable desserts. On the list: ice cream. One of my all time favorite treats, ice cream is definitely a fun addition to your summer wedding celebrations!
