Wedding Invitations — Belamour Design

Victoria from Belamour Design recently sent over a few designs from her portfolio.  Victoria likes to focus on the details (or the “elements of style” as she calls them), often resulting in an invitation design inspired by the style of the event itself.  Since your wedding invitations are usually the first indication your guests will receive of your wedding style (black-tie ballroom, informal backyard, semi-formal garden wedding, etc.), I thought I’d include two designs for two very different weddings. First up, a blue and white ocean-inspired invitation design for a laid-back seaside wedding:

Seaside-Blue-White-Wedding-Invitation

The second design comes from the opposite end of the design spectrum, with beautiful calligraphy details perfect for a more formal, black tie ballroom wedding:

Thanks Victoria!  So tell me - how are you incorporating your wedding style into your invitations?

DIY Holiday Gift Wrap Inspiration

…newspaper!  I'm just about ready to set aside all of my usual shiny holiday gift wrap in favor of simple newspaper gift wrap and decorations:

Newspaper-diy-bunting-flags{twoandsix via the sweetest occasion}

Newspaper-gift-wrap{country living}

Whether stitched, cut and folded into the shape of a blossom, or fashioned into bunting (each with some sort of red or striped accents), I'm just all about the newspaper gift wrap this season.  The only thing that might even come close to making me reconsider is vintage sheet music:

Sigh… so pretty, and so easy to DIY!
