My sister's wedding invitations! Yay!! As I mentioned previously, Jess's colors are black, white, pink, & green. While there is no theme, Jess has set out to combine hydrangeas, lighthouses, & peacock feathers all with a vintage twist. We focused on
hydrangeas & lighthouses for the bridal shower & now we are onto the peacock feathers, which will also be used in the centerpieces at the wedding reception.
The invitations were letterpress in the same bright pink ink as the shower invitations on fluorescent white Lettra paper with chartreuse envelopes. The invitation consisted of four coordinated pieces including the invitation, rsvp + envelope, reception information, & directions. Everything was placed into a shimmery black pocket folder with the invitation attached to the pocket folder & the three additional pieces in the pocket. We kept the pocket folder closed with bright pink satin ribbon.
The imagery echoes the beautiful lace on my sister's wedding dress, adding the vintage touch to the invitations & the peacock feathers adding a bit of fun. The invitations really set the tone for her ballroom reception. Only two & a half more weeks! We are still working on other details including the programs, coasters, & napkins. I will most likely share those after the wedding as I will be heading up to Maine for the holiday weekend and staying for 10 days.
Hope you are staying dry wherever you are. I know the rain can be a drag, but everything is so green, lovely, & alive! I do not mind it one bit.
p.s. I never mention this, but if you ever want to see any of my photos larger, just click one & it will take you to my flickr page!
Wow, Sarah, I love the pop of green against the pink and white invitation -- and the design is somewhat classic, but really cute/fun/whimsical as well!

These are one of the most beautiful invitation sets I have ever seen. The peacock motif is gorgeous and the little farm animals are so adorable. I love the color combination, and the dotted lines as well. Great job!
