New Wedding Invitation Designs
modern
Using Black and White at Your Wedding
The colors black and white might seem boring for your wedding… but think again! Black and white can be classic and modern. And if you like surface designs, black and white can be a great way to incorporate patterns into your wedding without being too bold and overwhelming. See the black and white inspiration board I posted in the past here.
You can even combine multiple black and white surface designs in your wedding decor….. the black and white colors will keep the designs cohesive. The first image is from Martha Stewart Weddings and the second image is an invitation I designed that can be viewed in my Etsy shop here.
New Invitation: Tandem Bicycle
The tandem bicycle is a popular image being used in invitations. It is especially perfect for bike lovers. I recently designed a new tandem bicycle invitation (2nd image). The first image is a previous design. One is modern, and one in vintage inspired. Both design can be purchased through my Etsy shop here.
Geometric Wedding Inspiration
Geometric prints are hot right now! They are so whimsical, bold, fresh, and modern. Different color combinations can really change the look and feel of the geometric print. Check out this triangle geometric wedding invitation I designed and an inspiration board that helped me make it.

New Invitation: Modern Bloom
I recently released a new invitation design on Etsy. It is a clean, bright, modern, bold, and colorful floral design: Modern Bloom. I created this design after playing with my watercolors using the same pattern for years. This is a design that I constantly come back to… simple in it’s nature, yet very pretty.
