Wedding Field Guide Invitations

woodgrain-urban-modern-wedding-invitations

Sigh… today has kind of gotten away from me.  It’s one of those days where dealing with issues on the back end of the blog has eclipsed my focus on the front end.  Don’t we all have days like that?  So I leave you with these lovely woodgrain wedding invitations/wedding field guide by Urban Influences and promises to come back tomorrow (with a fun sneak peek at some of the stationery in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings!).  Check out the full details of these invitations over at Benign Objects.

In the meantime, I did a little Q and A session over at The B List blog – check it out right here!  Also of note, I had the opportunity earlier today to attend the swearing-in ceremony for my former boss and mentor – he’s heading off to be an Ambassador and I couldn’t be more proud of him.  It’s so nice to see good things happen for good people; makes my heart all warm and fuzzy.

Autumn-Inspired Notecards

Happy September everyone!  I’m a bit partial to September, since it’s both my actual birthday month and my blog anniversary month!  OSBP will be turning two years old in just a few short days.  Yay!  However, August doesn’t seem to have gotten the dismissal memo and it’s still hot as blazes around here.  Maybe I can will Fall to arrive with these autumn-inspired note cards from Sweet Harvey?

Sweet Blue Birds Bridal Shower Invitations

Eleanor from Oh Louise! sent over these invitations for an upcoming bridal shower.  The shower will be with 20 of the bride’s closest girlfriends and an outdoor garden brunch of mimosas, mojitos, and yogurt parfait along a bunch of other yummy treats.  Eleanor ended up going with her sweet flock of birds design in a fun turquoise and twine color palette:

Rachelle + Todd’s Garden-Inspired Wedding Invitations

This is turning out to be quite an international week for wedding invitations!  Kate from Ruby & Willow sent over these gorgeous floral wedding invitations, with vintage stamps from New Zealand.  In addition to the lovely floral design, I’m loving the invitation colors of warm brown and peachy hues like apricot and shell…

Kate tells me that the invitation design was inspired by the bride’s parents garden, where the wedding reception will take place.  Rachelle, the bride, wanted a mis-matched and vintage-inspired design, but definitely nothing overly formal or serious.  The color palette was inspired by the bridesmaids’ chocolate brown dresses with peach details.
