Nyya came to me a few weeks ago looking for a save the date and invitation that incorporated a pretty chandelier, brocade design and a vintage feel. Nyya’s mom and Michael both wanted a magnet for the save the date — Nyya was on the fence — but I hope the final product changes her mind! We incorporate the red, black and charcoal grey color scheme into the save the date. I think it gives just a hint of what the guests can expect on the big day! I just designed Nyya’s invitation and it’s stunning — can’t wait to share with you in an upcoming post! Enjoy!

Ashleigh and Todd, along with Ashleigh’s mother and father, came to meet with me just a few short weeks ago. Ashleigh loved the pocket idea, wanted the pink rhinestone (eventhough, Todd pulled for the clear rhinestone) and thought we needed to incorporate a crab somewhere on the invite (she was wearing a little crab necklace at our meeting). Viola!
Asleigh emailed us after she received the invites and said, “Allison, I wanted to let you know that the invitations are AWESOME! I absolutely love them, they are exactly what I imagined.” Enjoy!

I know we normally share a lot of photos of pocket invitations, so I thought for this Friday post, I’d highlight some “flat panel” invitations. These are more traditional style invitations with flat layers of cardstock and sometimes adorned with ribbon bands or bows. With these type of invitations, your response set and insert cards would sit on top of the invite and slide into the mailing envelope. Here are some examples! Enjoy!
Stephanie and Jay came to us for their pocket save the date and we’ve since ended up doing their invitations, rehearsal invitations and are working on their wedding day accessories. These invites highlight the rustic feel of their Montana nuptials.
Allison and Kevin are getting married on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, on the water, and wanted a simple invitation that reflected the nautical nature of their wedding. With the sapphire metallic and white pearl cardstock and anchor adorned monogram, I think this invite is perfect!

Kimberly and James wanted an invitation to incorporate their bronze and leaf green color scheme. We incorporated a custom monogram and a satin ribbon band on this invite. So pretty!
