Crystal Embellished Vintage Modern Damask Wedding Invitation Suite! Modern, Elegant, & Fun!

This wedding invitation suite is especially close to my heart because it was a custom design for my little brother and his sweet fiance!  They gave me total freedom to design away and without question, "I commenced with enthusiasm!".  Keeping in mind, their bold color palette of black and white, with accents in red, my creative journey lead me to a canvas of damask scroll work and an array of mixed font types.

 This Crystal Embellished Vintage Modern themed wedding invitation set is "The Jenley Collection".  It's a GUARANTEED jaw dropper, according to all of their guests, whom ramped and raved! Likewise, the Bride & Groom were VERY happy with My Lady Dye!  The modern yet elegant design incorporates various damask scrolls and a heart graphic. The design has a funky feel with the fun and interesting mix of script and block type fonts and a classic elegant feel with the use of crystal and satin ribbon. Little design details such as font choice may seem minute, but when paired with bold graphics in an innovative layout, the end result is undeniably "mod".  And the vintage feel is reflected in the style of scroll work chosen.

 The invitation suite features a square crystal embellishment with wide satin ribbon detail. This 5 card set is organized in a 5 x 7 inch vertical pocket-fold.  The suite includes Invitation, RSVP, Hotel, Directions, and Reception cards.  The intricate design of the enclosure cards allows for an ascending staggered "pocket".  When the cards are presented together, they display one composite, clean, and elegant damask graphic.  When guests unveil each card from the pocket, they are then introduced to and entertained by a totally different graphic design.

The theme is carried onto the envelopes as well.  Both envelopes are addressed with a printed return and/or delivery address.  The invite and RSVP envelope both display a custom monogram that was designed for the suite. This detail adds continuity and personalization.  There are so many ways to personalize envelopes!  This is another great and fun way to excite your guests. Even more important, it will be their first impression to your invitation suite!  View my invitation collections for more examples of envelope detailing!

And you can't have a custom invitation design without a full matching stationery set!  Hence, I also designed their program, menu poster, seating chart, tented table names, place cards, candy jar labels, favor stickers, and tented signage for all their accents areas (candy bar, cookie bar, photo booth, drink bars, guest book table, and bathrooms). Their BIG DAY is right around the corner!  Photos coming soon!  Keep posted!  You can follow me on Facebook to keep up-to-date on all my new designs!

Like all my designs, this stationery set is available in any colors of your choice!  Contact me for questions, pricing, or quote.  View my Portfolio!  Chao!

A Colonial Historic Themed Save The Date!

Another custom project landed at my finger-tips by way of an old childhood friend!  Now a Bride and excitedly engaged and very ready to be happily married, she ventured into the artistic hands of My Lady Dye for her custom wedding stationery needs!  She did not know exactly what she wanted and being a carefree Bride, she allowed me to have creative freedom and was open to any and all my ideas and suggestions. When she informed me on the unique venue they chose to get married at, I immediately suggested we reflect the charm of that venue in their Save The Date. 

The venue, Joseph Ambler Inn, has colonial history dating back to 1682 with William Penn as the owner of the land on which the Inn now stands.   It has much to offer from unique architectural character to a vast landscape of natural, as well as amazingly kept/manicured grounds and gardens.   It has many fabulous features and details such as wood, stonework, masonry, pavers, and a unique color palette of browns, cream, light yellow, black, rusty orange, deep red, and greys, all of which caught my "design eye".  Especially, the venue's logo of a carriage. A historic property that is formal yet whimsical with all it has to offer and having been renovated over the years with many new additions and amenities, the venue is a prime location for any fabulous wedding event!

Now, enough about the venue!   Though, it is in these details that truly help inspire a Designer. With a complete vision of the venue, the design evolved into a formal yet fun colonial design with a historic feel.  The Save The Date features a back-splash of vintage filigree (reminiscent of vintage wallpaper), the use of a nature-based and earthy color palette, and the all-important symbolic graphic of the carriage, all of which was combined with ornate graphics and matching font types, to truly reflect the character of Joseph Ambler Inn.

This Save The Date card is an A2 size (typical Thank You card size) with coordinating envelope and it is available in any color(s) of your choice!

I can design a full matching stationery set in this theme as well, so feel free to contact me with all your wants and desires.  Hear from you soon my friends!

Vintage Modern Wedding Invitation Suite with a Touch of Whimsy!

This Vintage Modern wedding invitation suite was custom designed for a local Nashville Bride & Groom!  It was a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) order, where I designed and provided the client with high resolution digital files so they could print and assemble the invitation suite on their own.  Their color palette is dark charcoal grey, "azalea" (a deep pink/fuchsia color), and ivory.  Both the Bride and Groom are very fond of Hatch Print style and wanted a nice mix of fun vintage fonts, with great attention to the overall color mixing/matching, spacing, and layout.

 

 

This couple knew exactly what they liked and did not like, which is always helpful to know when doing a custom design. They sent me CMYK color codes so I could design the invitation suite to their specific wedding colors and they informed me on the style of pocket-fold they had already ordered, so I could design the cards accordingly per the correct dimensions/layout/orientation to the pocket.  They also emailed me inspirational images to ignite my creative juices.  So, with all this great info, their design came to fruition as Vintage Modern, with a touch of "whimsy"!  To satisfy both male and female tastes, the vintage and abstract florets in the graphic scroll work added that touch of whimsy without being too "girly".

It was an exciting wedding invitation suite to design, as it allowed me to play with many font types, font sizes, spacing, color placement, and overall layout.  This 5 card invitation suite is a square pocket-fold style and includes invitation, RSVP, Reception, Accommodations, and Directions cards. After satisfying their order (to design the 5 cards), I continued the design process so I could introduce to you a complete invitation suite. Hence, I designed a personalized monogram detail on the front of the pocket-fold and 2 custom printed envelopes. The invite envelope uniquely features both the delivery and return addresses (front and back envelope printing) and the RSVP envelope uniquely features the delivery address.  The design features both matte and metallic finishes, with the envelopes and cardstock layered behind the invitation card being the only metallic details in the invitation suite.

The Directions card is a Map card that features a digitally enhance map showing the wedding ceremony, hotel, parking, and reception locations, to help guests visually learn the area and so they can accurately reference the different points of location.  It's also a nice touch to the invitation suite, as it adds that extra artistic flare and detailing, that can be as playful as you want it by adding fun color(s), symbols, graphics, and fonts.  Likewise, you can never have too much information in your wedding invitation set!   I say, "The more, the merrier!".

All details of this invitation suite are fully customizable in any color(s) of your choice!  This design can be used to inspire and create an entire matching stationery set, including seating chart, menu card, program, place card, stickers, save-the-date, table card, favor tags, favor bags, and more!   Just contact me for questions, comments, to place an order, to get a quote, or to get started on your own custom stationery design!  Visit my Flickr photostream to see all my other stationery designs!
