I love the idea of a destination wedding in a tropical location – beautiful beaches, lush surroundings, and lots of fun fruity drinks.  Nichole from Coral Pheasant created these Costa Rica destination wedding invitations for a recent event, and I love the way she combined burlap and bright patterns for a healthy dose of both color and texture.

From Nichole: I designed this invitation for an event that was inspired by stunning destinations around the world.  Costa Rica was one of the chosen destinations where the lush rainforest and the fun, vibrant patterns of the Costa Rican culture inspired the design.  For the invitation I created a hand stitched book with three layers of pattern, the middle layer being printed on vellum for added depth and interest.

The book format invitation is perfect for a destination wedding as it allows for large amounts of information to be presented in a beautiful and organized manner.  The invitation suite was tucked into a custom printed burlap bag – a nod to the famous Costa Rican coffee – and then packaged in a chocolate brown box with a matching label.

Thanks Nichole!
