9 Wedding Invitation Designs We Love

Posted by Jeffra on May 23, 2012

Our friends at Wedding Paper Divas are always coming up with fabulous designs for wedding invitations, save the dates, thank you cards, and more! We wanted to share some of our favorite trends that they currently have available.

For those of you wanting to do something different and funky, try a monochromatic invitation! Here are two examples, one for a laid-back soiree, and another for an elegant affair.

This next one is not a new trend, but we still love the idea of using a cute quote on the top instead of a motif.

Lastly, the patterns, oh the patterns! Whether you want to go all out with color, or use a subtle palette, we love the idea of patterned invitations.

Color Palettes Made Easier!

Posted by Jeffra on Jun 30, 2010

It can be very overwhelming to stick to the same shade of color when planning your wedding.  When you tell your vendors you want yellow and gray – yellow could mean gold yellow, cream yellow, daisy yellow; gray could mean charcoal, slate, silverish- and then you end up with a mix match of ideas for decor.  Which is why we were excited to find out that the Dessy Group, who recently launched PANTONE Wedding, have partnered with Wedding Paper Divas to make this whole color situation a little bit easier.  Now you can choose the color of your bridesmaid dresses, flower girl, ring bearer, and grooms tie/vest to match your invitations!  They also have included accessories, like shoes, head bands, clutches, and jewelry that also come in the same colors.  We’ve created a couple swatches as reference, but definitely go play around yourself – it’s very fun!

Real Wedding: Southern Summer Glam

Posted by Jeffra on Apr 14, 2010

Laura + Josh

September 26, 2009

Historic Cedarwood – Nashville, TN

“Laura’s vision for their wedding: A mix of southern elegance and global flair with lots of color, rich, warm light, very intimate yet “big” with over-the-top, exotic styling. The design team at Cedarwood mixed gilded, flower laden candle chandeliers, branches, exotic flowers, birds, nests and layered fabrics for this glamorous décor. Think “The Great Gatsby” meets “Moulin Rouge.”

Laura turned to Wedding Paper Divas to custom design her colorful wedding invitations, and she personally designed and created wedding programs, artistic table cards and favor CD covers in coordinated colors with charming bird motifs. Laura’s mom, Suzanne, with help from her middle school students, made colorful paper origami cranes to symbolize marriage attributes of patience and understanding and to shower Laura and Josh with happiness and prosperity on their wedding day.” -Cedarwood Design Team
