In honor of Christmas this week, we love a pretty Christmas color palette of vine, clover, taupe, cream and cardinal to accompany our Birch letterpress wedding invitations for a pretty, country chic wedding. (Photo credits: wedding invitations + Christmas cottage + winter flowers + sugar cookies.)

For this color palette we were dreaming in shades of winter neutrals with wedding colors of charcoal, sand, taupe, powder blue and pale gray to accompany our Amici letterpress wedding invitations. (Photo credits: wedding invitations + balsa wood bouquet + macarons + winter decor.)

Using pretty spring weddings and our Palais letterpress wedding invitations as inspiration, we love this sweet palette of wedding colors in sea mist, deep blue, dusty pink, light peach and celadon. (Photo credits: wedding bouquet + bridesmaid dresses.)

Inspired by chic black tie weddings with a touch of feminine glamor, wedding colors of fuchsia, cardinal, antique gold, pewter and black showcasing our ever popular Deveril letterpress wedding invitations. (Photo credits: wedding invitations + centerpieces + wedding shoes.)

A Halloween wedding doesn’t have to be all about spooky bats, witches and things that go bump in the night. Look for Autumn’s softest palettes and pair them with fairytale pumpkins, warm candle light and wrought iron accents for a sweet as candy soiree. This Astor customization not only has a motif that mimics a wrought iron gate, but it uses a custom Emily Austin font that looks like Ichabod Crane, himself, could have wrote it. Imagine the Legend of Sleepy Hollow without that troublesome headless horseman!
