Invitation Trial

These are a couple mock-ups I did at home.  Actual invites would be printed using a laser printer on metallic paper.  These were printed using an ink jet on copier paper.  I'm trying to decide between these two designs.  I wasn't planning to fall into the damask trend, but it is growing on me...

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

After looking at hundred of pictures online, I really like the look of a simple black dress.  I know black is not traditional for a wedding, but I love how elegant, clean, and classic it looks.  It also creates a beautiful backdrop for the bouquet to "pop" against.

 

 

There are so many different styles available, so it should be easy to find an affordable dress that my bridesmaid could possibly use again.  I took my MOH to White House Black Market so that we could start our search.  Here's my favorite from the day.
