About Mrs. Bruschetta

After seeing her work in several of Miss Cowboy Boot’s posts — and on Weddingbee PRO — I eagerly reached out to Sarah Parrott hoping she could create our rehearsal dinner invitations.

I loved the crisp, clean, monochromatic style Sarah had used for her sister’s bridal shower invitations, and envisioned capturing this same look and feel with a Gocco design featuring one of our main wedding colors in combination with summer produce like oranges, peaches, grapes or plums.

Sarah was cheery and responsive, and quickly churned out a series of proofs. She willingly tweaked the style to be a little less “natural” (think fruit on the vine) and a bit more culinary. And she arranged the content in three sizes — 5″ x 7″ (A7), 3-7/8″ x 9-1/4″ (tea length) and 5.5″ x 5.5″ — since I’d mentioned I wanted to set these apart from the pieces in our wedding invitation suite (which I’ll reveal soon, I promise!).

I love the final design — which includes the outer envelope flap return address printed in purple. It completely captures the slightly romantic, decidedly summery mood I had in mind — and totally makes me crave something citrus-y every time I look at it! (Photos courtesy of Sarah Parrott.)

These are gorgeous. And how cute would they be framed in your kitchen post-wedding?

Does anyone know the font used on the orange invitation for the cursive? I’ve been looking for a beautiful cursive for a very long time. No Scriptina please, I feel it is so played out. = (

Very stressed, and have to DIY our invites in a few weeks, but don’t even have the design done!!

They came out great and thanks for the monochromatic inspiration, now I can give FI an idea of what I picture of our monochromatic inviatations (except in blue).

I love the orange! Our invitations feature lemons and limes, it would be so cute to use something similar for the RD Invites! Great inspiration!
