laura wedding suite

The Laura wedding invitation suite is named after my great-great-grandmother and namesake, Laura Stump Dumm. For this suite, I tried to visualize what a 1899 wedding celebration in Ohio would be like. I pictured my great-great-grandmother wearing her mother's handmade wedding dress and carrying a bouquet of daisies. The wedding would take place outside under blooming trees, and family, friends and neighbors would bring food (lots of farm fresh veggies and homemade pies!) for the picnic reception. The day would end with fireworks or a parade.

I'm not sure of my great-great-grandparents' actual wedding date, but I do know they were married in 1899. My great-great-grandfather was born on the 4th of July, so I decided to make that their wedding date. Red and greige seem a fitting color combination for July 4th park wedding, and the embroidered daisies fit with the summer picnic vibe. Thanks to the rich colors and classic fonts, this wedding suite could also work really well for a rustic or vintage-inspired fall or winter wedding.

denise wedding suite

When it came time to design a wedding invitation suite for unfussy country-inspired nuptials, I pulled inspiration from my mother-in-law, Denise, and a set of vintage napkins I found at an estate sale a couple of years ago.

If Denise and her husband Greg were getting married this year, she'd want a low-key country wedding in the summer. The wedding would take place in a white clapboard church, and the reception would feature fried catfish, sweet tea in Mason jars, wildflowers as decorations and lots of fireflies. There would be live music, well-worn cowboy boots and lots of close family and friends. 

To go along with this imagined wedding, I created a cheerful country wedding suite that has a little bit of a vintage vibe and a very relaxed feel. The colors are slightly country, but they were also very popular in the seventies, back when Denise and her husband Greg actually tied the knot. The daisy embroidery unites those themes of country and the 1970s. The fonts are some of our very favorites. 

This suite can be customized to match any of the colors used in the embroidery -- so avocado green, soft pink, sun yellow, cottage blue and lavender are all color options.  

Below is a photograph of Denise and Greg when they were dating. It was definitely the 1970s. :)
