Happy Friday! My plan for the weekend is to have a little crafting party with my lovely bridesmaid, Dana. She is also getting married this fall, and we both need to figure out what we’re doing for our invitations! We figured doing it together would be a little more fun (especially if wine is involved), and it would force us to sit down and actually design them! Procrastination has been our specialty when it comes to our invites.
Here is a sneak peek at our invite inspiration!
Dana’s color scheme is gray and ivory, with sage green accents. She is leaning towards more modern invites, possibly using some sort of circle elements in the design. I am loving this invitation from A Windy City Wedding (her sister designed them, isn’t she sweet?).
For my own invites, I’d like to start with a simple design, similar to this one from Papyrus, and add in some of the flourish elements from our save the dates for a little extra flair.
It should be a fun weekend! I don’t know about you, but I love having another bride to do wedding projects with! Do you feel the same?
Oooo, love both your inspirations…and can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Me, too! Can’t wait. Judging from your STDs, they’ll be fabulous!!!
Oh, both fun! Can’t wait to see what you two come up with!
oooh good luck, have fun! Can’t wait to see what you come up with
My best friend is a bride to be too. It’s so fun to do things together!
I’ve been following windy city wedding and feel in love with her invites too! SO pretty!
My MOH is getting married just one month after me! It’s so good to have someone to talk ‘wedding’ with (other than you lovely ladies of course 
)
I don’t have another bride, but my BFF is one of my maids and she’s been with me every step of the way. Sometimes I think she’s more excited for my wedding than I am! And she’s the creative one, and since she knows me so well I can give her an idea and she can create it for me.
But it is definitely great to have the Bee, cuz there’s no way I would get away with talking wedding THIS MUCH with anyone else!
I like the simplicity of you’re inspiration invite. I’m feeling the Ivory, Gray and Sage color-very modern…
My MOH is engaged and I can’t WAIT to get home and start doing projects with her!! I totally understand because she’s the one person I can “talk bridal” to and she doesn’t get all annoyed that I’m talking about the accent color of the commas in my STDs. LOL! I adore her!
Um hello?!?!? Those invites are amazing!!!! I’m loving the bright green w/mellow grey. What an awesome sister!
Aww, thanks for the shout out! sorry i couldnt have gotten better pics, they are so much prettier in person!!
