wedding planning: the invitations!!!


i finally get to share our invitations with you today!!

i'm so excited. i've been dying to share them! i LOVE them.

a fellow blogger, kathleen, did our invitations for us. i am so grateful to her for putting so much time & love into them. they are exactly what i wanted. it's amazing how she took my inspiration boards & turned them into a perfect representation of all my thoughts & ideas. she is SUCH a huge talent.

you can see more of her custom invitations here. she also does all other types of graphic design, branding, etc. i highly HIGHLY recommend her & hope to work on more projects with her in the future.

sooooo onto the invitations.

i was going for a circus-y kind of feel, & i knew i wanted to incorporate a silhouette of me & levi into the design. levi created a silhouette of us from a photo that we took, & kathleen worked her magic from there.

here are the inspiration boards i sent her:

color

theme

and here are our gorgeous wedding invitations:

invite3

invite2

invite1

she created the font & the map by hand.

we didn't actually use kraft paper envelopes, so i snapped a couple photos of the envelopes we did use:

super light icy blue for the outer:

and lilac for the RSVP:

i think they're perfect, & i can't believe they're mine!! i might even like them more than my dress...
;)

if you're planning a wedding, i would suggest contacting kathleen for your invitations. she is awesome to work with!
