Pocket Invitations - Saturday Stationary

Posted on April 6, 2013 at 3:35 AM Comments comments (0)

Pocket Invitations

Pocket invitations are definitely a new trend in wedding stationary. They allow you to send all the necessary wedding-related materials in one chic envelope, including the invite, RSVP card, maps, and accommodation card. All these articles then come bundled together in a satin ribbon, paper sleeve, rhinestone incrusted pocket, or any number of fastener. And just like your wedding, these invitations can be customized to fit your style and budget. To get the best deal though, you will want to order wholesale. Here are a few great options of pocket invitations, as well as their suppliers:

Glam Up Rustic Vintage

Posted on February 20, 2013 at 3:00 AM Comments comments (0)

Wedding Wednesday- Here's a little how to when it comes to turning your rustic vintage wedding into a more low key formal affair. Everything from adding chandeliers to doilies as an added touch. I loved the idea of mixing textures of burlap with the elegance of crystal and lace. Check out a few inspirations I loved this week!

Love, love, love the idea of using the doilies themselves as place cards under clear plates or chargers!

Be sure to think outside the box when it comes to creating a rustic vintage look and you will be sure to turn what may have been a backyard wedding into a beautiful and glamourous affair. You and your guests will be sure to remember your special day with out you having to use paper plates and plasticware!

Thursday - Rustic Shabby Chic

Taking over the event scene is the idea of a rustic theme but with a shabby chic feel. A good option for those of you who aren't to fond of the bright color trends for 2013. It's a good way to create a romantic and relaxing atmosphere with pink and beige tones. Check out some of the following ideas and let us know what you think!

Pink and white roses and peonies create a romantic feeling

The use of moss and the wooded structure around this beautiful cake add a unique touch
