Summer is nearly here, and that means the return of big, bold stripes to both the runways and the printing presses. I stole the photo of these adorable, vintage-striped dresses from the blog for Oh Joy!, and I can tell that she loves summer stripes just as much as I do.

You can still add stripes to your late-summer, early fall wedding invitations with some of these charming designs: 

Just last week, Wedding Paper Divas unveiled a new line of invitations inspired by The Islands of the Bahamas.  Perfect for any beach wedding, there is sure to be a suite for any style.   Similarly, The Islands of the Bahamas are each unique in their own way, whether you are looking for peace and tranquility, high-class shopping and dining, or an exciting nightlife with dancing.  Here, we take a look at each island group so you can find the one that is perfect for your destination wedding!

• Grand Bahama Island:  You can look forward to a memorable mix of historic charm, modern attractions and ecological wonders on your visit to Grand Bahama Island. There’s truly something for everyone. The warm welcome you’ll receive is just extra insurance that you’ll return again and again. (courtesy of Bahamas.com)

• The Out Islands:  These hidden gems we call The Out Islands come in the form of small remote villages and a simple way of life. Here you’ll find some of the world’s most stunning beaches, dive sites, and fishing sites – a welcome surprise if you’re looking for that perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.  (courtesy of Bahamas.com)

Out Islands Wedding Suite, The Out Islands.

I am beyond excited to announce that Wedding Paper Divas has partnered with The Islands of The Bahamas to offer four unique wedding suites that are perfect for any island wedding.  Although I had a hard time choosing, I have to say The Out Islands suite is my favorite–the color of the coral against the cool background just says modern beach chic to me.
