New York invites

Be inspired by this stationery suite by The Indigo Bunting. They incorporate all sorts of personal aspects of the couple resulting in a beautiful and unique invitation.

 Their invitation reflects a classic New York City wedding at the Central Park Boathouse. Let your wedding venue inspire your stationery.

 Quotes about love frame the envelope on the back of the invitation. Be inspired by movies, books or music that mean a lot to you as a couple and incorporate them into your stationery, such as a line from your favourite song.

 "A guide from us to you/y'all." (She's from New York. His family's from Texas.) It's a nice touch to include personal details in your stationery.

 The invitation included a custom map of Manhattan for the couple, annotated with their favorite places in the city. It is such a lovely idea to include information about the place where your wedding is taking place - extra special for out-of-town guests.

Happy weekend!

Having a fun weekend brides-to-be :)

Honeymoon

One of our favourite wedding photographers, Max Wanger, has just got married (I wonder who he had as wedding photographer?)! He has posted some beautiful pictures of his honeymoon at Banyan Tree Mayakoba which we wanted to share with you. What a gorgeous destination! Let us know where your dream honeymoon destination is!

Mister and Misses

The blonde and brunette duo, Jana and Janie, are the creative minds behind Mister and Misses Wedding Stationery based in Johannesburg. It's so great to see South African talent of this caliber enter into the wedding industry. They design all paper things from save-the-dates, invitations, directions, service programmes, table seating charts, menus, thnak-you cards, and "everything elese that slipped our mind." Check out their website here and let them create the stationery suite you've always dreamed of :)

Lady in red

A red dress is not quite bridal but I find these pictures inspirational. They feel free, dynamic and full of joy - and what a beautiful locations for pictures. While they say their is "no gain without pain" when it comes to beauty, it is important to feel comfortable enough to dance around with joy in your dress!

Love backdrops

 love the settings this couple has used for their photographs: from a tree-lined lane to a raw brick wall. And while there are no pics of a reception, the idea of a big chalk board that guests and the couple can draw on and can be used as a background is such a wonderful idea!

All sorts

I could spend hours on Etsy looking at the creative things that people make (see our other Etsy inspired post here). Here are some things I found that will add a lovely touch to your day.

Antique table numbers by Paper Eclectiques will work perfectly with a vintage-inspired wedding

Paper bird favour box by PaperAcorn will catch your guests' interest and a lovely little souvenir of your day

Heart wire hanger by Lila Frances is the perfect way to hang your wedding dress. It would also be a lovely bridesmaid's gift.

Pocket size programme by Baumbirdy is eye-catching and can be customized to sit your style

Calligraphy rubber stamp by Emililies add that extra element to your stationery and more affordable than hiring a calligrapher

Simply romantic

This is such a lovely idea for a proposal. There is something so romantic abut the simple love note. Let this inspire you to bring in that touch of romance that love notes hold in planning your invite or save-the-date and other stationery you use on the day such as menus. Or, of course, may it inspire you to write a little love letter to your fiance!
