The Perfect Wedding Invitations for your Perfect Summer Wedding!

You've chosen the perfect summer date, now it's time for gorgeous summer wedding invitations! Whether you've chosen June, July, or August for your big day, you can bring those sweet summer months into every aspect of your wedding planning, including your wedding invitations.
What says summer more than sunny yellow? Whether you want soft butter yellow for an early June or late May wedding, or shimmering metallic gold to evoke the delicious heat of August, a pretty shade of yellow is ideal for bringing to mind the sunshine-drenched summer months.

Want something a little less bright? Sky blue and cloud white will remind your guests of the coming summer skies and how beautiful they'll be. Grass green is lovely and different, and accents of red or white will make your wedding invitations as beautiful as a summer garden.

You can even try something fun with pressed flowers! Summery white pressed daisies make a perfect addition to your wedding invitations, bringing up all the best of the season with their simplicity, innocence, and charm. They're lovely for spring weddings, too.

Are you going somewhere where it's always summer? For a gorgeous sunny destination wedding, you'll need the perfect wedding invitations. Try sunset shades of blue and gold for a beach wedding, or vibrant greens and reds for a Martha's Vineyard or Napa Valley wedding.

With beautiful summery wedding invitations, you'll get everyone in the mood for your gorgeous wedding in a gorgeous season!

Wedding Invitations are the window to your future!

Your wedding invitations show exactly where you're going - so give your friends and family a peek into your future with a clever window wedding invitation!
Window wedding invitations are just the fun touch you need to make your invitation stand out. The "window" is a small die-cut circle on the outer envelope that reveals what you want to display on the invitation inside.

Try something like your intertwined initials, or even a small picture of the two of you! Since the size of window wedding invitations vary, the size of the circle will too. Perhaps you'd like a little symbol to show through, like a silver dollar shell for a beach wedding, or a simple picture of wedding rings for that retro touch. It's all up to you and your imagination!

Great for save the date cards, with window wedding invitations you can easily highlight the date of your wedding, so it's on your guest's mind from the minute they see the envelope! It's a great way to make your save the date unforgettable, and it makes the date itself unforgettable too. Nothing grabs attention and sparks excitement like receiving mail and knowing immediately what you're holding, so give your friends and family that excitement by highlighting the big day in a big way!

With your wedding invitations, you know it's what's inside that counts - so let that show through with a window wedding invitation!

Invitation of the Moment: Espresso Wedding Invitations

We all love our morning cup of joe, so it's no surprise this awakening color is making its way into wedding invitations as well! Chocolate brown was all the rage on last year's wedding invitations, so why not refresh this year's wedding invitations with a color a little lighter with an intriguing hint of richness: yummy espresso brown.
Not too long ago the latte cup itself was a status symbol, but now we are seeing espresso hues everywhere from manicures to handbags. As weddings imitate life, espresso sashes are springing up on bridesmaids dresses as rich brown detailing etches itself on the back of bride's dresses. And let's not forget the fellas: espresso brown is quickly becoming the it-color for groomsmen wear. Now its time for wedding invitations to follow suit, so to speak!

We like espresso wedding invitations because they feel sophisticated and grown-up ( a pleasant departure from pastels and the typical spring palates) but are still vivid enough not to feel like a business dossier. For added vivacity, invest in some stylish gold ribbon or burnt orange accents for a look that is trendy and bold. If you favor a spring feel, pair your espresso wedding invitations with pale purple or robin's egg blue accents. So chic!

In general, choosing jewel tones or natural tones for your wedding palette infuses your wedding invitations with instant elegance, and ensures that they don't get confused with baby shower invites or the latest Mary Kay newsletter. These more neutral tones also show a shift towards making the wedding more about the couple than just the bride, which no doubt the groom in your life will appreciate.

So how about it? Why not try a trendy espresso wedding invitation for a chic look you'll never regret? Cool mix n' match invitations like this one create an impeccably modern look, so rally up that wedding invitation- making party and have at it. And while you're at it, have a cappuccino.

Make your wedding invitations blossom!

What do you need to make your wedding invitation that much sweeter? The answer could be as simple as a pretty pressed flower on the front of your invitation!
Pressed flowers are the latest trend for wedding invitations, combining the traditional beauty of flowers with the special organic touch of a genuine blossom, right there on your wedding invitation. There are dozens of different flowers to choose from, letting you match the flowers to your wedding's color theme, the season, or even your mood!

Bring a sense of freshness to your wedding invitations by including a sweet pressed daisy. Available in a variety of colors from delicate pastels to dark blues, daisies are perfect for a spring wedding. With their air of persistent playfulness, daisies are a great reminder of the changing of seasons, and the beauty that goes along with it!

Having a fall wedding? Let your invitations reflect that with deep red hydrangeas or pretty orange Queen Anne's lace! Winter weddings are perfect for delicate white zinnias or snowy Bridal's Wreath flowers, and summer is ideal for any color you can think of. Try sunny yellow Black-Eyed Susans or light blue delphiniums on your wedding invitations!

Are you the type to want to stand out in a crowd? Go for an exotic floral like blue borage flowers, which flatten out to a pretty star, or spiky Japanese maple leaves. Get creative with bird-like pressed dianthus flowers or fuchsias. With a little imagination, your wedding invitations can be as unique and interesting as you are!
