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!

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. :)

Our newest wedding invitation suite is inspired by one of our favorite vintage embroidered linens. The combination of pretty flowers and fresh colors feels perfect for a spring or summer wedding that has a rustic, country, handcrafted or vintage theme. To us, this is the daisy of wedding invitations -- timeless, joyful and sweet. Those qualities (and flowers in general) make us think of Joan, so it is named for her.
