Emily + Sean’s Engraved Watercolor Burlap Save the Dates

I always expect something creative and one-of-a-kind from designer Kristy Rice and her team at Momental Designs, and these burlap and watercolor save the dates are no exception! Kristy drew her inspiration from nature, combining hand painted watercolor with white engraved text, burlap, and kraft paper – with stunning results!

Watercolor + Engraved Save the Dates by Momental Designs via Oh So Beautiful Paper

From Kristy: The concept for these save the dates was simple but the result; incredibly powerful. We started with the inspiration of rich natural textures, landscapes, and literature. Then we combined richly saturated hand painted watercolor textures with crisp and classic engraved lettering. Mingled with rustic touches of burlap and kraft cardstock, the look is a balance of contrasts and textures.

Stephanie + Trey’s Coral and Aqua Destination Wedding Invitations

Last March, I featured these awesome passport-inspired save the dates for a wedding in the bahamas from Melissa and Amy at Atheneum Creative – and today they’re back with the wedding invitations! Melissa and Amy incorporated the linen from the save the dates, along with a beach-inspired coral and aqua color palette. So beautiful!

From Melissa + Amy: To keep with the style of Stephanie and Trey’s passport save the dates, we brought the linen into the invitation as a backer and stitched the card directly to it. We incorporated watercolor calligraphy on the invitation as well as the welcome party card and lined the envelope with a coral pattern. Overall we wanted to keep the design airy, clean, and flowing to evoke the ocean feel.

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Confetti

With Christmas just around the bend, your mind might not quite be focused on New Years yet, but mine is! Anyone out there planning a New Year’s Eve wedding? It might be worth it just because you can have that much more confetti to throw around. Now’s the time to break out all the confetti you can find for your wedding, or just use it as a motif if you’d like the festivity without the mess! I personally prefer both, so I bring you… Confetti! (Disclaimer: Confetti should always be followed by an exclamation point!) — Kelly
