One style...multiple invitations. How we can fit a style into your theme





One of the many things we can offer you is the ability to change our invitation designs to match your theme, wedding colors or personal taste. If there is one particular invite you like we can change the color of the paper to match your wedding colors. If it's made with a smooth card stock and you want some sparkle we can change into a shimmer line. We can add images, change font styles and colors and apply ribbon or other wraps with texture.

Let's take a look at one of our invitations that has been transformed to fit multiple weddings.

Where it originated...

The Seafoam




Here is where it all started. A simple hand torn invitation made of a sea foam green handmade paper. This natural paper is filled with pieces of nature; twigs and grasses. This handmade paper invitation is perfect for the outdoor seaside wedding with a soft color pallet. The invite is printed on vellum and instead of gluing these two layers together they are attached to one another with a border of hemp being gently sewn in and out, from back to front. To tie it all together two hemp knots are found on the top center within a complete circle. 


The Daisy



 

Our next couple fell in love with the Seafoam invitation but their colors were pink and they were also including Gerber daisies into their wedding theme. Can we create an invitation for them??? Well of course we can!!!! We changed the green to pink and removed the hemp. Printed on vellum and attached it with a single silver brad also acting as the center of a daisy, this invitation is now complete.

The Sky



Change doesn't always have to be drastic it can be as simple as a color change. This couple loved the Daisy invitation set but their color was a bright sky blue. With just the change of the paper color a new invitation was created: The Sky.


The Knot





This invitation is definitely favored amongst beach weddings lovers. Beach weddings don't always have to be bright and bold, they can be light and subtle. That's what our couple Lyndsay and Todd had in mind when planning their wedding. We started with an off white handmade paper filled with bits of nature. Their invitation was printed on a light blue vellum with three different seashells faded across the top. Going back to the Seafoam invite, we put two hemp knots on the top to tie these two layers together. 


Shimmering Shell



Our shimmering shell invitation literally brings the beach right to your guest. We used the same handmade paper as The Knot but this time we printed on a gold vellum paper and attached an actual seashell 
brad. We didn't stop there with this one. To hold this invitation in place with its matching enclosure cards we created a pocket fold cover in a cream shimmer card stock. Now your beach wedding is complete!!!
