Southern Belle Wedding Invitation and where it came from

                           

Let's take a look at the history behind one of our wedding invitations...

The Southern Belle!!!

Many times while meeting with our clients they page through our portfolio and find that they like a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Well....This & That is what we specialize in :) When we met with Jessie and Shawn there were a few different styles of which they expressed interest. Knowing that their colors could be implemented into any of our designs she really liked to see how we could transform our "Chocolate" wedding invitation. Jessie loved the peek-a-boo ribbon and the layers of this invitation, however she also liked the idea of a pocket fold to hold their reply card and information booklet they would be supplying their guests. Like many new brides and grooms, Jessie & Shawn were on a budget, especially since it was a destination wedding and there would be two receptions. A simple, but unique option we offered to cut costs was to make a pocket invitation instead of a pocket fold. What is the difference you ask??? A pocket invitation is a panel style invitation with a pocket on the back. There is no fold over card or flap like a pocket fold invitation. This is a great alternative when you like a pocket fold style but want a more affordable option. 

Starting with the style of our Chocolate invitation we applied Jessie and Shawn's colors and themes. See what a different feel an invitation can have by just changing the colors of the papers. We went from deep and bold to soft and subtle. We added a bit of depth to the invitation by composing and printing on a textured card and the satin ribbon was changed to a sheer. It's like watching the seasons change before your eyes...ahhhh. The combination of changes cultivated a perfect "Southern Belle" invitation for our couple's Charleston, South Carolina destination wedding.
