As a self-proclaimed lover of all things unique and different, I can’t help but fall in love with some of Wedding Paper Diva’s newest invitation designs.  At my own wedding, I used ever-popular tea length bridesmaid dresses, which appear both modern and sophisticated at the same time.  If you want to tie this same look in to your invitations, consider the Together Forever Wedding Invitations:

The graphic designer in me loves the text treatment–simple yet striking.  You don’t often see landscape tea length cards, so this feature stands out to me as well.

Another tea length horizontal card that I’m loving is the Modern Bouquets Wedding Invitation in Verbena.    The hues of blue reflect a very 2009 color palette, and the cluster of flowers in the corner denotes spring.

With winter and the holidays upon us, nothing appeals to me more than jewel tones.  I have been obsessing over various clothing items, promptly added to my Christmas list, and I’ve noticed one constant theme–deep, vibrant color.  Now, it’s your turn to get inspired with my inspiration board.  Happy Holidays!

I have an unhealthy obsession right now with anything that is grey, particularly slate grey.  I love it with any variety of colors, but for the upcoming winter season, I especially love it with a light blue aquamarine.
