We loved seeing how our Simple Charms invitation design set the tone for Allison and Nowell’s stylish backyard bohemian California wedding. They customized the design by including a fun and colorful patterned envelope liner in our refined mosaic pattern in sherbet, sand and pewter inks. Vibrant patterns were used throughout the wedding decor, too, and personal touches were sprinkled in throughout the day. From mini margaritas to one of the prettiest table runners (sewn by the mother of the bride!) we love all of the thoughtful details that were woven into this wedding. See even more photos from this real wedding on Style Me Pretty!
Congratulations Allison and Nowell! We hope you enjoyed every moment of your wedding.

Our Gracieux wedding invitation design is graceful (hence the name) and elegant – but its also gritty, organic and just a touch untamed.

We were so happy to see Mindy & Travis’ elegant rustic Virginia wedding on Style Me Pretty recently. We worked with the couple for their letterpress invitations and menus, and combined the border from our Romantic Floral design with hand calligraphy by Debi Zeinert in our Classic Calligraphy style. A soft color palette using our French vanilla and pewter letterpress inks looked stunning our luxurious ivory paper. The elegant, romantic look of the invitations set the tone for their gorgeous celebration, which featured various shades of pink, creams and blush. Mindy and Travis enhanced their already gorgeous barn venue by hanging romantic bistro lights and displaying elegant floral arrangements. The end result? Breathtaking.
Mindy and Travis, congratulations! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
