Happy Monday everyone! The week before Labor Day is so tough – it feels like the entire week should be a vacation before we transition into Fall! Luckily, these gorgeous wedding invitations inspired by the Raleigh Hotel in South Beach, Miami from Nichole from Coral Pheas­ant feel like a virtual vacation. Created for a slightly non-traditional pool party home wedding celebration, the invitations feature a tropical-inspired grasscloth backing and bold black and white striped envelope liner!

From Nichole: Melissa and Robert went about their wed­ding cel­e­bra­tion a lit­tle dif­fer­ent than most. They cel­e­brated with a close group of fam­ily and friends 18 months after their marriage  –  and birth of their twin boys! Melissa sought the help of Sarah of A Pol­ished Plan and together they con­cep­tu­al­ized a South Beach-inspired adult pool party they would host at their home.

The Raleigh Hotel in South Beach Miami – their favorite hotel – pro­vided all the visual cues for this chic event. One look at the hotel and I was delighted! The star of the suite is the two-color letterpress invitation on Crane’s lettra mounted onto grasscloth. The rich brown backer brings inter­est­ing tex­ture to the suite, rem­i­nis­cent of the tree trunks of palms and rat­tan can­ing seen in much of the hotel’s furniture. The enve­lope lin­ers are a nod to the iconic black white striped pool umbrellas and the type design, graphic frames, and bold col­ors are inspired by the Raleigh Hotel’s branding.

Thanks Nichole!
