Today’s board will inspire you to put a fresh spin on dreamy watercolors: beautiful brushstrokes in vibrant hues are anything but traditional. Carry your theme throughout the event with ombre touches and artistic details.

We’re starting a chic new series to highlight the Wedding Paper Divas blog team’s bridal fashion favorites! Check back every Friday to see our latest style lusts and more.
Watercolors are huge for spring and summer, and we can’t seem to get enough. They’ve made their way onto some of our favorite wedding stationery and now we’re swooning for this lovely frock. The colorful blooms, feminine shape and artistic watercolor effect would be so stunning for a rehearsal luncheon or bridal shower, don’t you think?
From soft and romantic to vibrant and bold, our watercolor picks range the gamut. Whether you’re sending out your first piece of wedding stationery (the save the date), looking to drop a hint to your bridesmaids for your bridal shower invitations or sending your wedding invitation, there are amazing watercolor styles to suit your artistic fancy each step of the way.
This fresh and romantic bridal shower invitation by one of our talented designers, Petite Alma, inspired our whole bridal shower theme. The artistic watercolor feel, bright red poppies and sunkissed yellow are so appropriate for a warm weather affair!

Color is really catching our eye for 2012. The bolder and brighter, the better! Our new collection by the talented illustrator, Stina Persson, is a perfect representation of this pop hues trend, so we used one of our favorite designs as the starting point for today’s inspiration board. These gorgeous shades of aqua and chartreuse seem tropical, but with a fresh and modern flair.

Today’s inspiration board combines two of the hottest stationery trends for 2011, watercolor and coral! Gorgeous artistic invitations with that hand-painted feel will inspire romantic, elegant details at your wedding. We went with a fresh color palette of soft coral and orange sherbet for the ideal spring or summer wedding.

We used this gorgeous watercolor invitation as the starting point for this poppy themed board. Vibrant shades of red, vermilion, and persimmon orange make a dramatic but elegant statement when offset with bright white. Using the signature flower of the theme throughout the entire event ties everything together.
