Betty Wedding Invitation Suite

This week's wedding suite creation is named Betty in honor of Joan's older sister. Despite their age difference (Betty was born in 1921 and Joan in 1933), the sisters were very close throughout their lives. The above photo is Betty as a baby. Wasn't she precious?

For her wedding suite, we were inspired by linoleum block printing. We wanted something that looked hand-carved and really jumped off the page. The navy and white color scheme accomplishes that nicely. For added impact, we continued the design on the back side of each piece, and then finished out the suite with our preferred mix of classic and handwritten fonts. The timeless mix of color and pattern is perfect for a spring or summer wedding. It reminds us a little of an Anthropologie dress. Can't go wrong with that!

Collections: Pretty Lacy Things

Lacy nighties, petticoats and slips usually fall in the category of "things our grandmothers wear," but when it comes to our own wardrobes, perhaps they are garments we should reconsider. There is something rather lovely about wearing silk, ribbon and lace next to the skin. Even if it's only reserved for date night or other special occasions, every woman deserves to have a few items in her dresser drawers that make her feel pretty.

The romantic and whimsical brand Anthropologie has capitalized on this idea by carrying lines that feature lacy petticoats, trimmings of satin or velvet ribbon and carved pearl or wood buttons.

To recreate a similar look for a fraction of the price, simply visit estate sales, thrift shops and antique malls and look for delicate slips and petticoats. They are easy to find and add an element of pretty when worn under an unlined dress or skirt. If you prefer using them as decorations, they also look just as lovely hanging on a satin and ribbon-trimmed hanger.
