All about blue…

This morning I’m all about the color blue — from the palest sky blue to a bolder light teal, these two invitations from Angela and Kathleen recently caught my eye and stayed in my mind all weekend.  First up, Angela from SeeSaw created these gorgeous light blue letterpress wedding invitations with lovely damask details and whimsical stripes for her brother-in-law’s recent wedding:

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I don't know about you, but this has been a looooong week for me and I'm 100% ready for a much-needed weekend.  Plus, I'm super-excited, because it's only one more week until the B List!  (Are you coming to our Friday Meet + Greet?)  I'm really looking forward to this year's meet-up, both to seeing friends from last year and getting to make new friends.  But that's next weekend, and this weekend I've got more plans for the garden – including putting up some edging around our little flower bed to keep a very rude neighbor from walking on the soil and crushing my poor little sprouts.  Seriously, who does that?  Sigh.  But in the meantime…

Also, my friend Lynn from Satsuma Press wrote to tell me about a fundraiser for her son, Liam.  You can read more about Liam's situation and the fundraiser details right here.  I know Lynn would welcome any support you might be able to provide.

That's it for me this week!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you all again on Monday!

Carnivals and Spanish Lace

Heidi from Zenadia Design sent over a couple new additions to her invitation portfolio, and I was so excited when I opened up the photos that I couldn't wait to share them both with you!  The first invitation design was inspired by a carnival, and features big red + white stripes and game ticket details on the rsvp:

From Heidi: This invitation features a laser cut outline to match the design on the merry go round and a hand drawn illustration by Francis Birchfield.  Reply card is embellished with vintage carnival tickets and red and white stripes line the mailing envelope.

 

The second invitation has a more vintage-inspired design, featuring lace details and a Spanish feel:

Spring Magnolia Wedding Invitations

Now that the trees have finally started blooming here — from the magnolias to the dogwoods to the cherry blossom trees — I haven’t been able to get these magnolia wedding invitations that Sarah posted a while back out of my head:

Spring-Magnolia-Wedding-Peach-Grey-Invitation
Spring-Magnolia-Southern-Wedding-Invitation
Spring-Magnolia-Letterpress-Wedding-Invitation

With magnolias illustrated by Jen from Swallofield, Sarah created these invitations for an upcoming wedding in South Carolina.  I love the color combination of peach and light gray, not to mention the blind debossed magnolias on the main invitation.  So pretty!
