Real Weddings: Laura and Christopher

Last summer I worked with Laura on stationery for her wedding reception, and she was so kind to share some photos of how everything turned out! She chose the Elation design style in her wedding colors of blush and light gray.

Thanks so much for sharing the photos, Laura!

Elation: color combinations

This week I have a few different color combinations to share for the Elation printable stationery suite!

Franchesca chose a bright and cheerful combination of Fuchsia and Amethyst for her invitation and reply card.

For Laura's ceremony program, we went with Blush and a custom pale gray/silver. (Remember, you don't have to choose your colors from the color chart- custom colors are always available!)

Elizabeth and Connor went with a classy combination of Navy and Fern for their wedding invitation and RSVP card.

Jessica and Michael chose one of my favorite combinations- Plum and Lavender - for their table numbers, escort card, and water bottle label designs.

These examples are just a few of the color combinations you could use for your design! Remember, all of Belletristics' ready made designs can be personalized with any colors you want!

Freebie Friday: Printable Cupcake and Drink Flags

Happy Friday!
Today I'm sharing a free design that coordinates with the Elation Suite I introduced earlier this week: printable cupcake and drink flags!  Just download and print for a quick and easy way to add some class to your cocktail, or some flair to your treats.

DIY Printable Cupcake and Drink Flags

To Use:
1. Download the Elation cupcake and drink flag printable PDF file.

2. Print onto 8-1/2"x11" card stock.

3. Carefully cut each flag out, fold in half, then use adhesive to attach to a toothpick, straw, or bamboo skewer.

Tip: Wait to cut the triangular notch out until you've folded in half and glued- that way everything will be perfectly lined up.

4. Enjoy!

New Ready Made Invitation Suite: Elation

New ready made wedding invitation suite, now available through Belletristics' Etsy shop: Elation!

{Elation}

Floral inspired swirls and flourishes grace the corners of this classy invitation suite. A bold mix of sans serif titling and ornate script fonts add to the overall elegance of this contemporary yet classic design.

Each suite includes the design of a matching monogram, invitation, and response card, along with your choice of address label or address design, and your choice of envelope liner or belly band design.  The designs will be customized with your information and colors.  The sizes can also be adjusted to fit your needs (as long as the orientation and shape stay the same).

Additional coordinating designs are available for both suites (table numbers, escort cards, menus, programs, seating charts, favor tags) - I'm working hard to get all the new designs up in Belletristics' Etsy shop, but send me a message (sarah {at} belletristics.com) if you'd like to see the matching items.

Make sure to stop back on Friday for a free printable design to coordinate with the Elation suite!
