I created 3 differnt options that you can take a look at….

Option #1: I used the starfish and sand dollar layout.  The last layer of cardstock is a striking aqua blue and the middle layer is a light purple shimmer textured cardstock.  The Swarovski crystal Mickey Mouse head is place above all the wording on this invitation….

 Option #2: 

For this one I used almost the same cardstock color scheme…the only difference is that the bottom layer of cardstock is slightly darker in color and more blue than the previous and also this one has shimmer sheen to it where the first one was a matte cardstock.  I used the starfish layout  and placed the Swarovski crystal Mickey head accent above your names.  I also used the font that you had mentioned that you liked and accented the names in a sea foam green color….

Option #3:

Here is the same starfish layout as the previous one.  For this one I decided to try a sand colored pattern paper for the middle layer and I used the shimmer lavender for the bottom layer.  The same font was used for this one but instead I accented your names in lavender. 

 I used the “dark blue matte textured” cardstock for the middle layer instead of the pink like we discussed.  The size of the invitation is 6 3/4 x 4 3/4….I made it slightly smaller than the 5”x7” invitation that I originally sent you…does that size work for you? 

 What do you think?

I tried a gatefold with the shimmer tiffany blue cardstock that I had….just wanted to see what cardstocks would look nice with it.  Then I couldn’t resist to add a wrap around the invitation and a cute little tag! 

Here is your updated invitation….let me know what you think!

Your welcome bag tags….

Your updated ceremony program….

Some of your signs…

(the other signs will have brown for the bottom layer and pink for the middle layer….just to switch it up a bit…what do you think?)

Petal Cone….

(I only have pictures of the pink petal cone with the brown tag and brown ribbon…1/2 of your petal cones will be this way and the other 1/2 will be switched….brown petal cone with a pink tag and pink ribbon)

Program Options…

In my last post I featured a custom invitation design that was designed for a couple getting married in Hawaii.  The bride sent me pictures of her wedding dress that had these beautiful hand painted flowers on it.  She wanted those flowers incorporated on both the destination wedding invitation and the at home reception invitation. 

So, since my last post was about the wedding invitation design, I thought it would be best to feature this fabulous reception invitation design!!!  The bride told me that this “back home” reception is being held in Boston and will have a “Provencal” theme and decor …and even though she didn’t have a specific color pallet, she loved the mustard yellow color.  Immediately I thought of beautiful hand painted Provencal style dishes and patterns.  After seeing a few different Provencal patterns and designs I decided to incorporate one of those with the gold hand painted flowers that were featured on the wedding dress to give the invitations cohesiveness but yet each will have their own distinct personality for event. 

I just love this set!!!
