OMG woodland hands down! Our theme is outdoors, woodsy, birds and such and I hoped to include wood grain in my invites! There's something so earthy about woodgrain! http://bit.ly/ITYbg
Oh I am in love with the Botanical Collection. So fresh, so vibrant! I'm also web design challenged, so this giveaway would be so helpful in more than one way!
I love the Woodland design the best. It goes great with an outdoor, woodsy wedding theme.
I absolutely love the Deco line! Its everything vintage and antique that I am looking for. Our who wedding is around those things vintage, antique, reusable and eco friendly. I am sooo excited about this giveaway it would really help with the budget!
We are in love with the Deco Collection. Everything about our wedding screams 1920's and Art Deco. From my engagement ring and dress, to hopefully* our reception at the Alfred Dupont Building, the only Art Deco Skyscraper in Miami. I say hopefully because the venue fee will take up almost all of our budget, and not leave room for much else. This giveaway would be the best wedding present ever!
We LOVE the botanical design because it is fresh and summery and will set the perfect tone for our big day--and love the fact that the zero carbon design is another small way we can make a difference!
I wish I could mix and match the whole collection-- the designs are genius! I had to do a double take because these are perfect translations of the pieces of antique jewelry that inspired them.
I love the deco design...I'm not sure if it's because I love that shade of purple, because the print is just perfect or because I WANT that piece of jewelry (even though I can't tell what it is from the picture). So great.
The botanical collection is beautiful. The green just absolutely POPS against the clean crisp white. I am getting married in Hawaii on a plantation estate that is covered in green grass, beautiful palm trees, etc. I heart the idea of reducing paper consumption. Your tips on how to do my part by reducing the consumption (by keeping text to a minimum and utilizing a wedding website) so less paper is used is FANTASTIC. Cheers to WedVert! Pick Me!
The Deco collection is unbelievable. Even the shape of the envelope flap is perfect. The design matches the old brooches my grandma wears, which would be great to use as my "something old." We have been trying to decide which paper products to eliminate from our wedding in order to cut waste. We try to be eco-conscious in our every day lives...why should we sacrifice that value for our wedding?
I love love love the Botanical Collection!! As an artist, illustrator and designer, I'm all about big bold prints! I also love mixing and matching different patterns, so this style is very me. Plus, they use amazing paper, so I'm very excited about this give away!
Deco! It's perfect! The scrolling design reminds me of the pattern on the sarees my bridesmaids are wearing... a great way to honor my fiance's heritate. Invitations have been difficult for us because we want to save money without handing out boring and wasteful invites. This giveaway is an amazing opportunity!
I love the Deco invitation. It is different, yet bold at the same time elegant. The shape of the envelope is fantastic and makes that one little difference in the presentation that takes it up a notch. My Fiance and I are getting married in Los Angeles, and the theme is art deco Hollywood. I grew up in a home decorated by art deco objects, and it is just so fitting to bring it into my wedding style. I love the invitations, and would be such a gift to have from this amazing site..........
Thank you
I LOVE the cameo collection. It so classic in black and white and would match my colors and the feel that I want for my wedding perfectly.
oh my goodness... i'm only a 19 year old who dreams about her someday wedding, but i had to comment when i realized the winner was so close to home! i go to school at the naz, which is in the same town as kenyon college... i had no idea a green wedding could be put on around here. before i thought it was something reserved for city life! : )
She's very talented, but my favorite is the woodland line. The organic nature of the design goes perfectly with the eco-friendly paper too!
We are having our reception at the outdoor patio of a lodge- looking restaurant that has a romantic wooden deck complete with a roaring fireplace. The Woodland Luxe would be beyond perfect for setting the tone for our big day! I just love the natural simplicity!
I LOVE the woodland collection. I'm doing an entire tree theme for my wedding - I have loved trees since I was little, even though I grew up on a VERY urban street in NYC. I used to sit on my stoop in Queens and listen to the giant sycamore trees on my block sway in the wind. I have never since lived on a block in NY with such beautiful trees, and I miss them! So I'm putting them in my wedding! :) These invites are gorgeous and would fit in perfectly!
The Deco Collection is gorgeous. Our reception is in an auditorium with a giant, ornate dome and the invitation fits in perfectly with all of the architectural details. My fiance and I are trying to take steps to make our wedding green, such as collecting glass jars from family and friends to use as the vases for the centerpieces and having our ceremony, reception and hotels within a few blocks of each other so that no cars have to be driven. Eco friendly invitations would add a lot to our green-ness, plus they're absolutely gorgeous!
botanical is my fave! so bright and vibrant, and how can you resist that envelope liner pattern?
I LOVE the woodland collection! I am planning an outdoor wedding, and the tree detail on the invites is perfect for the location and theme. Pick me! :)
Another Woodland lover here.
Perfect for the Fall wedding we're having. Winning this would definitely help as my fiance is planning on making the invitations himself. Not just to save $ but also because everything we've liked, we can't afford or really try to duplicate. We couldn't possibly try to recreate the Woodland theme. The paper is so lush and interesting that it's definitely a piece of art.
Oh, QUILL! It's so simple, elegant, and fun - all at the same time!

I <3 botanical design!! It's fresh, uplifting, and just happy. :-)
I love the Woodland Collection! We are getting married in a grotto in the woods. These would be perfect! So simple and chic!
I HEART the Botanical designs! Thay are so fabulous and lush in color. This design really does remind me of our venue because of the rich green color.
woodland woodland woodland! i am totally obsessed with faux bois. i want a faux bois cake! i think itd fit beautifully with our outdoor picnic wedding. oh wow, i may just make my own wood grain invites if i dont win.
I am loving the Botanical collection. The green is beautiful and just perfect. It's modern yet elegant - just what I'm looking for. Eco-friendly invites are something I could feel good spending our money on, and these are gorgeous!
I love love love the woodland. Trees are amazing. I saw redwoods for the first time this spring and I was just in awe.
BUT! The Quill would be the one I would choose because the peacock quill is a hysterical inside joke for us. On one of our early dates we went to the free zoo in town and the peacocks were courting. The male had his full plumage out and was rattling it for the female while trying to corner her with his swaggering moves. She was so blase and annoyed we thought it was the most hilarious thing. Now every once in a while my fiance will pretend to put out his feathers and rattle them while strutting around to try and impress me. To which, I yawn and try to act bored while holding in the giggles. It's hilarious and no one would know but us! Everyone would just see a beautiful classy invitation!
Botanical just speaks to me. It is cheery and fresh yet at the same time seems a bit vintage. It would be a great introduction for our guests to our simple and sweet, mix and match wedding vision.
So in love with the botanical design!!! It is just super cool! If I got that invitation in the mail from someone else, I couldn't wait to see the wedding!!!
I love the Botanical Luxe Invitation! It is so unique! I love the design. I believe a wedding invitation tells a lot about your entire wedding. I would love to have this invitation for my wedding! Thank you so much for the amazing giveaway. :)
The Botanical is just breathtaking. So fun, chic and elegant at the same time, I am in love!
I adore the Cameo Luxe invitation! It is a perfect compliment to our old west/victorian themed wedding style! Simply elegant.

My goodness...the Botanical collection is hands down gorgeous!!! I am planning a pewter and green affair with lots of natural elements and these would set the perfect tone for the affair!
The woodland invitation is beautiful! I love the DIY free pieces that are available too!
I adore the cameos! I am all about vintage style right now.
The Botanical collection causes my heart to skip a beat! I am planning a Fall garden wedding with a navy blue and green theme and these invitations would be gorgeous! My wedding will also be extremely eco friendly and I would love to complete the theme with these beautiful pieces of art.
I heart the deco collection! The vintage yet classic feel is exactly what I am hoping for on our wedding day. Plus the purple color is perfect!
Botanical! Or woodland! Either would be perfect for our eco-wedding at a local nature center!
i am so in love with the woodland collection. my fiance and i are getting married in a little white church in the middle of a cornfield and having our reception at a rustic barn--they wood grain would be absolutely amazing!
I am so in love with the deco invite set! How lovely!!! The color is perfect & the style is amazing!
I have to say that I LOVE deco! The fonts and those dots around the circle are to die for! I would have to pick the botanical invites for our wedding though. I think the back and the front of the reply card/thank you cards are one of my favorite parts! I love that all the extra pieces aren't just an afterthought to the design but are good design in and of themselves! I like how bold and funky yet classy it is! I think my heart is skipping beats! :)
i really like the Quill set! it's so simple, clean and elegant...exactly what i want my wedding to be like!
The Deco Luxe is absolute perfection. The purple caught my eye, but the scrolling design and the elegant envelopes made me swoon. Our wedding is taking place in a beautiful rotunda with architectural charm at a museum in NY. We are going for a modern vintage feel and this invitation design encompasses that completely.
Love the Deco collection! Our venue is an old savings bank from the 1920's...marble, columns, high ceilings, absolutely stunning!
I love the Quill LUXE Invitation. Perfect for our simple and elegant beach wedding. I hope I win. Thanks for the giveaway!
The cameo is my favorite- it's classy, timeless, simple and charming. I love the deco as well... what beautiful designs. The cameo would be perfect for our wedding-- it's a vintage theme, with pink, ivory, lace and pearls. I love, love love it!
The Quill Invitation Suite is beautiful! I love how clean and elegant it looks. I'll be tempted to get a calligrapher just for them!
The WOODLAND LUXE invitation suite is my favorite because of the oh-so-chic faux bois motif! Makes me want to just TOUCH these amazing invites in person!!!
The Botanical is PERFECT. I have been looking for something eco friendly- like the made from 100% Post Consumer Waste paper- and chic at the same time! I am so glad that I was introduced to this product! Thanks so much SMP!
I absolutely adore the woodland luxe invitation. It coordinates perfectly with our woodsy nature-inspired theme, while also echoing the design aesthetic of our other homemade wedding stationery. Want want want!
My favorite is the woodland invitation... simply beautiful!
Love the botanical! It would beautifully accent our backyard garden wedding next summer! Need it, want it, got to have it!
My best friend is getting married in a BOWLING ALLEY!! Hwlp! She needs SOMTHING to make it seem like a wedding! I think the Woodland invitation suite i the answer - the wood reflects the wood lanes, but the font and design make it formal and "wedding-y" - if we don't win this, I am afraid she might end up with Bowling Shoe invites from Plum Party!!
Up to this point in time, we are planning on MAKING (and no, not from a paper company's DIY invite) our invitations out of recycled paper, vegetable dye and letter stamps, because we strongly feel that everything concerning our wedding day should come from sustainable sources. This includes what happens to our invitations when our guests decide to recycle (or even trash) them. We want invites that will decompose even if they are thrown in the garbage.
We are also on a 5,000 dollar budget (!) and definitely can't afford to spend even $300 on them, (like finding a zero waste invite was even possible for that money!)
And this is why I'm drooling on Yoko Chapman's collaboration with WedVert. I love love love the Cameo invites!
http://www.yokochapman.com/catalog/cameo-7-1.html
They have this perfect blend of timeless elegance with a flair of modern sophistication. Classy, but not pretentious. Elegant but not overbearing. Just the vibe that will suite our backyard ceremony and garden tea party.
Ah, bliss!
The Woodland invitation suite is absolutely perfect. It's simple. Unique. Endearing. I want to hug them. :)
I love the Botanical set- so chic, and I love love love the shape of the envelope and the huge ampersand! I normally wouldn't seek out a carbon neutral invite to be honest, but I never thought they could look like this! The Botanical is enough to convert my entire invite list to the"green side"!
These are all so gorgeous, It's so difficult to pick! I think the woodland is perfect it's so simple and elegant! Being a graphic designer myself I can really appreciate how much thought and effort goes not only into the design of these invitations but into the carbon neutral footprint! That is extremely difficult to do in the printing business. What an amazing company i'm glad you've introduced me to them!
When I saw what deco was inspired by I almost died. My headpiece looked just like that! Now I can't get it out of my head how it would be "my little secret" if my invitations were inspired by my headpiece. I love it!
Oh goodness, I really, really love the Cameo collection. I've been struggling with invitation designs, and I think this suits our old-fashioned, outdoor wedding so well. We're making practically EVERYTHING in an effort to be eco and budget-friendly. We've been saving our pasta sauce jars to use as candle lanterns, thrifting our centerpiece vases - I'm even making our hanging lanterns out of old doilies and flower boutonnieres for all of the guests out of newspaper. And these sweet, delicate invitations would be the perfect addition and make me sooo happy.
we have our invitations picked out- so good luck to everyone!!! These designs are incredible!
I heart the Botanical collection. The vibrant green and white mixed with with the organic flow of the design is amazing! This organic look will fit my outdoor wedding theme in the mountains of NC perfectly. Yoko is so talented! Loves it!
Ooh, I LOVE the Botanical design. It would work so well with my indoor/outdoor wedding!
I love the cameo design! We are planning an outside wedding at a vineyard, and these are so vintage looking and elegant. My mother has a cameo ring that I have always adored, and was planning on asking to borrow it for my "something borrowed". These invitations would be such a perfect fit.
The Botanical collection is stunning. It would fit perfectly with our autumn wedding at a bed & breakfast, as well as our mission to renew, reuse and recycle! So inspiring!
I adore the Botanical set. It is so lovely and makes me warm and fuzzy when i look at it. I love the organic feel, but then there is also a super 70s glimmer about it that I just love. Our wedding is "Rustic Vintage" themed and I just think these would be a beautiful addition, and the one thing that wouldn't be DIY!!!
Our wedding will take place in a historic home and I believet these woud be perfect. Plus I love cameo designs. Please pick me!
My fiance and I L O V E the Art Deco! It would go perfectly with the vintage art deco bracelets that I got for each of my bridesmaids (by scouting ebay and antique shops until I found 4 silver tone and rhinestone art deco style ones that are all unique).
And mmm... the organic cookies would be fantastic! I was planning on MAKING (despite my lack of culinary skills and to save money!) edible favors. I never even thought of doing anything other than edible favors because they will most certainly be used, appreciated, and not thrown away like kick knacks! AND it must be a sign that I was destined to win this amazing giveaway--just yesterday I was researching free wedding websites! They are such a must-have now and a great idea for keeping your guests informed of things you don't want in the invitations.
BTW- L O V E WedVert! They have the best things!! The stamps for return addresses for invitations are FANTASTIC! I want them!
Oh no- I think the stamps were just an article! I can't find them in the products section!
Vert Botanical is seriously making me swoon! I first fell in love with it when we picked it as our design template for our website when we signed up for a trial membership at Wedshare and now we want to surround our wedding with it! I love, love, love the ornate meets organic feel of this fresh and modern design. Thank goodness for the free DIY templates on WedVert, but how serendipitous is it that now we have a chance of being able to have the matching invitations, too! My fiance doesnt usually chime in on much, but even he's super excited about this giveaway.. and that's saying a lot! Pretty please?
The elegance, color and versatility of the quill invites make them my fave, although all of them are beautiful. I am newly engaged and just starting the wedding planning process. We're either getting married in the big city we live in, on a beach, or in my small hometown in Iowa- no matter what we end up doing, the quill invitations would seem perfect. The fact that they're eco-friendly fits in with my 'green-wedding' theme no matter where we end up getting married!
I am in awe of all of the designs. In the midwest, it is hard to find companies that share the same philosophy of sustainable wedding goods that my fiance and I are adamant about incorporating into our day. We love the Deco invitation. It is a beautiful and elegant display and everything that we want our invitations to be. Good luck to all the ladies and thank you SMP and Vert for this amazing giveaway!
We have been searching for environmentally friendly, vintage-chic wedding stationary for our eco-friendly Charleston wedding next summer... and the WedVert Botanical line is exactly what we've been looking for! My fiance and I met (and were engaged!) working at a very special summer camp for individuals with disabilities. The whimsical patterns, organic elements, and playful design of the Botanical invites are true to our personalities, our story, and our style! We would be so excited to incorporate these environmentally-responsible and artistically stunning products into our special day. Thank you SMP and WedVERT for this opportunity!
:) Bridgette and Cory
I love the deco, but the botanical is simply gorgeous. The has a chic elegant and modern spin to it. My sister would absolutely love to use these for her wedding next summer.
I love the deco design. It is beautiful and would be perfect for my deco 1920s theme wedding.
I love the Deco line, I love the Art Deco period because of it's elegance and geometric designs, just like my style (not to mention that I'm from Miami).
We fell in love with the Botanicals line. It's not too formal, keeping a whimsical, light, and summer-y flare. It completely integrates the elements of our wedding - classic, preppy, summer, and whimsical - and would be perfect with splashes of pink to coordinate with our theme!
I love the Cameo design: http://www.yokochapman.com/catalog/cameo-7-1.html
Black & White is totally my color palette. Everything I own is black, and everyone makes fun of me for it, but it's such a classic, modern and chic design. It is also the base of our wedding colors, with a dash of mute red/coral red and a slate blue grey!
I would love the quill design for our invitations. I love the peacock feather and had already planned on incorporating it as a theme to our wedding. How perfect are these invitations! I love the subtlety of the embossed feather and the softness of the blue. We are getting married at a "green" resort. They have their own water purification system, use geothermal heat for the rooms and organic ingredients in the food (just to name a few of the things that make them special)! I would love to carry the theme in our invitations.
The Woodland collection personifies outdoor elegance. It has a rustic yet traditional feel. A perfect invitation to our wedding held on an estate terrace. Thank you for the opportunity!
Hands down fell in love with deco the minute I laid eyes on it. For our winter wedding we are using a dark palette of platinum, cranberry, aubergine, and plum to set the backdrop for our vintage/formal evening, so the dark plum colored ink and the art deco style of invitation is a perfect match. The thought of sending these pretty little invites out to all our sweet friends and family makes me wanna pee my pants! I'm smitten!
I really love the botanical collection. I hope I win!!
My favorite is the Botanical design. How gorgeous and intricate is this?? It portrays the exact kind of elaborate feel we're going for, and I know it would reflect our elegant affair perfectly! Plus, how could guests not get excited upon receiving such beautiful invites! We'd probably personalize these with navy to show off our wedding colors and get everyone psyched for an elegant summer evening affair, complete with outdoor garden ceremony. Thanks so much for all these amazing giveaway opportunities!
My fiance and I are on a budget, but still want to highlight the Northwest beauty for our out-of-town guests and families. Woodland invitations would set the perfect tone - we love them! While we are from Seattle, we are getting married on a 30 acre farm on one of the local islands surrounded by evergreens and pastures. Our caterer will be getting salmon from the local fishermen, the beef from a farm down the road, and she will even be growing the veggies and herbs in her garden for our feast. I can't believe how nicely Yoko Chapman has captured the rustic elegance we're looking for with the Woodland invitations. They would complement our outdoor setting and the eco-friendly nature of the entire suite fits with our goal of local sustainability. Thank you SMP, Yoko, and WedVert!
I am drawn to the BOTANICAL Eco-Friendly invitation! It is such a beautiful and classy design. We will be wed in the backyard of my parent's home full of nature. I think this invitation sets the tone and style of the day for our guests. Thank you for the giveaway WedVert!
I love the deco invitation set! I am having a deco inspired wedding. Which was inspired from my engagement ring that my fiance designed to look like an art deco antique. I love that the invitations are eco friendly which is something my fiance and I feel very strongly about.
oh my! the botanical invite set is just GORGEOUS! it reminds me so much of the style of my & my fiances apartment! i also adore the color green and am planning on it being the main color of our wedding. thank you for the fabulous giveaway!
Love the woodland! We;re getting married in Northern Cal, and the subtle nature reference mixed with the elegant script is so perfect - Wow :-0 thanks so much for this opportunity! xx
The Deco line is to die for. We had planned on only doing e-vites to our wedding site but finding something 100% post consumer will let me mail with the style! Thank you WedVert for letting us greenbrides still have the style we love!
While all of the choices are beautiful, there is something truly romantic about the Quill design. I would be honored to have the invitations represent my wedding. Not only are they the same colors that we're using, but they are environmentally friendly, too. We're doing a backyard wedding on an extremely small budget ($3000), so winning this amazing offer would bring elegance to an inexpensive wedding. Thank you for the opportunity!
Dear SMP,
Thank you for intruducing my fiance and I to WedVert! We have continually been inspired by sustainable living, and this giveaway is a fabulous way to spread the word!
We absolutely love the Woodland invitation design! It makes sense with us--we love the intricacies and uniqueness of wood grain and our backyard is a forest :) We would love to win these invitations, as they promote caring for the Earth AND would send our guests to our wedding (at the Grand Canyon!) with style!
Thanks for this opportunity!
The woodland suite is so elegant. The calligraphic touches are gorgeous. It's a subtle but striking design.
You should have seen the look on my caterer's face when I asked that all disposable drink-ware at our wedding be compostable! Low and behold they were able to accommodate my request! More and more I am finding that people prefer to go green and I am so glad that this is infiltrating the wedding industry! I absolutely love both the botanical and deco invites and either would be a highlight to our eco-friendly, vintage/rock and roll affair!
I simply adore the Woodland invites. We are getting married under a 180 year old Oak tree at a beautiful farmhouse inn. The invitation goes so wonderfully with our rustic theme. It's a match made in heaven!
I am absolutely in loveeee with the cameo design. It is simple, yet perfectly evokes the chic vintage feel which is what we are going for with our wedding. It is perfect!
Recovering! Oh lord why did I drink so much? Good wedding though, great day and evening.
I heart the Deco style. The color is lovely and the beautiful design around the text is stunning. Also the green saver would be perfect for our local, green wedding in Church Hill, Richmond.
oh wow! these designs are amazing. i am pretty much in love with them all, but if i had to pick just one, it would be the botanical set =D thanks for the awesome opportunity/contest =)
These wedding suites are amazingly beautiful and modern while still incorporating classic, vintage designs. I love the Woodland suite. It is modern and oh-so-bridal, while still being fresh and incorporating the outdoors. I absolutely love that the paper products are earth-friendly. These products would compliment our philanthropic wedding so well!
I love deco - so intricate and vintage. Lovely!
I love the botanical line with it's very modern-vintage feel. We are getting married at an old estate with acres of grass and trees, so it would be the perfect introduction to our wedding!
I love the Deco design!! I just chose my (preowned) wedding dress which has art deco lace patterns AND our colors are amethyst + chartreuse.. When I saw the Deco invitation line in plum, it was as if it was custom-made for our wedding. We will be marrying at a public community garden and eco-intention infuses our decisions in life and now, in our wedding planning. How great is it to marry in the 21st century and have companies that share values of environmental consciousness AND possess amazing aesthetics and quality. It's super duper exciting. Thanks much!!
The Quill design would be what i would choose for our wedding invitations. All the designs were incredibly beautiful though. But I really liked the romantic feel of the Quill Collection. Thank you!
Who would have thought that environmentally conscience and wedding chic could be infused and beautifully? I absolutely love the Woodland invitation collection. It would blend so well with our outdoor theme. We are sharing our vows under the great oaks at Brick House Plantation, Edisto Island S.C. The reception is indoors, but we are using locally grown seasonal greenery to bring the feeling of the outdoors inside. Our eco-country chic wedding would be greatly enchanced by the Deco Design invitations! Thank you Style Me Pretty for putting this great giveaway on your website!
These are amazing!! I love the Botanical, and they would go great with my colors. Love them!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the botanical collection. Becoming Mrs. Green and It would match perfectly. Love how unique and detailed the invitations are while still keeping it eco-friendly!
The Deco invitations would be absolutely perfect for our wedding! To begin with, the wedding is being held in a renovated (recycled!) textile factory. It has been a huge trend in North Carolina to renovate textile factories that have gone out of business to create beautiful, modern spaces. The Deco invitations suit our venue perfectly! Thanks for this great giveaway!
Tim and I love the Cameo design. It really captures the Black Tie element of our wedding, without any need to put "black tie optional" language on the invitation. We also really love that the invitations are completely recycled, as most of the rest of our wedding is being pulled together from recycled elements. My gown, shoes, and veil are well loved, and have been worn before (no need to break in my shoes!). The decor elements are being collected, rather piecemeal, from other weddings as they come available. Although Tim's wedding band will be new, mine will be a resetting of stones that have been in both our families for quite some time. The design itself also fits in with our venues- a neo-Gothic cathedral and a historic mansion built in the 1880s and 1890s, during the height of Cameo wearing fashion. We would love to keep the main font color black, and the accent font color charcoal, to emphasis the formality.
First, let me tell you how exciting it is to be planning a wedding with so many increasing "green" options becoming available!
All the designs are so beautiful but Woodlawn is my personal favorite...We're having a nature/eco inspired wedding...with the help of friends & family we're DIY & recycling everything...the goal is to purchase nothing new & support our local economy. I'm trying to maintain a simple and modern approach with just enough rustic elements to fullfill our vision. I love how the woodgrain brings a sense of nature into the modern design of Woodlawn...eco concious invitations would perfectly complement our commitment to a sustainable lifestyle...Thanks WedVert & SMP!
I so love the Deco Luxe Invitations. I like how the circle is in the middle of the invite that would represent a new circle of life in my new marriage. This will show how we are becoming one. With a continuous circle that will go on forever. I love the intricate details around the circle. Its gorgeous. Our colors are yellow, gray, and black and it would just blend so well with this invitation.
Oh, I absolutely LOVE the Woodland Save Green line (in salmon)! Honestly words can not even begin to describe how much I love it. Most of all, I am blown away at the elegance and style of this line. But of course there is also the eco-friendly aspect to it, which is the basis of my whole wedding. I think the whole goal of our wedding is to celebrate our passions and values with what we hope to start and create our family with and that includes simplicity, passion, conservation, and above all...love. What a great giveaway, I sure do hope I win hint: (pick me!) :)
My favorite would have to be the Quill collection; from the almost Tiffany blue scheme to the lines of the letters, this invitation screams classsic yet modern. The presence of the peacock feather is delicate and adds something unexpected to the invitation. The Hindu belief behind the peacock feather is kindness, patience and good fortune - which is something very symbolic for such a special day. This giveaway is fanatastic and would surely benefit any eco-minded couple; thanks for the opportunity to enter!!
I love the deco style. It definitely matches the feel of our Charleston venue and would set the mood for the wedding perfectly!
I love the Deco design. It would be perfect for my niece who's getting married at the Astor Summer house in Newport next summer. It's absolutely perfect for the elegant style of the ballroom.
If I win, it would be my gift to her. :-)
I'm drawn to the simplicity of the Woodland design. It's so beautiful! I'm planning to get married at the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas and am doing all I can to uphold their green philosophy. These invitations would be a perfect way to honor their conservation efforts as well as complement the simple decor of our wedding.
I love the Botanical line. It is so beautiful and would match my color scheme perfectly! Green is good!
After seeing the post for this contest, I decided to head over to the VERT website to check out the designs, honestly, not thinking that I would find anything that I really liked. Well the minute I clicked on the link for the botanical design, and the picture loaded, I squealed with excitement. The color is perfect, the design is perfect, the whole feel is perfect. My fiance and I are both very graphically inclined, so we love the sleek, modern, elegance of these invitations. The fact that these invites are on recyclable paper, and are 100% eco-friendly is very important to us as well. We are trying to do all we can to help conserve our world and resources for the generations to come. These invites truly are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! and something that we would definitely not be able to afford without the help of the contest. Thanks so much SMP for your work to help each Brides day be unique, full of personality, and unforgettable.
Went to the site and seen the Green Wedding tips and I think that is great. We all have a responsibility to Mother Earth and to take care of her. We can do a lot if we all pitch in a little.
VERT is creating fabulously chic, oh-so-pretty stationary in a responsible way, allowing us brides to do right by the environment while planning our big day. This is a welcome and much needed addition to our options as we seek out stylish and sustainable options to make our mark with.
Thanks so much SMP for sharing these lovely *VERT* creations and inspiring us with these gorgeous, modern designs.
I love the Deco line. We're having a flamenco themed wedding outside. The flourishes go so well with the theme and the fact that they're chlorine free makes them awesome (we've tried to eliminate Chlorine among other things from our house because it's so toxic!) I'd love to win these because they'd add so much to our green wedding and will show other brides that you don't have to have a wedding with only vegan fare or at a park or wear a hemp dress - you can have a classic looking wedding and still be environmentally friendly!
The Botanical design because they are the perfect shade of green which matches our wedding colors, and they are so unique and fun! We would be thrilled to have this extra cost shaved off of our tight budget; we could never afford these invites and think this would be such a great giveaway to win!
Love the woodland one. Some might not consider it very exciting, at least in terms of color, but I like the simplicity of it. It's gentle yet... manly (which the mister would appreciate)! Rustic yet classy.
WOW! The Deco Suite is amazing and the inspiration for Deco reminds me of a vintage brooch I had converted to a bracelet. This invite makes feel like I am going towards the right direction for my wedding. Especially since I am getting married in art deco train station and my theme is vintage glam all inspired by rhinestone brooches.
I heart the Deco invites :).
I would be so thrilled to add another Eco-Chic touch to our wedding! The Botanical design is perfectly bold and bright to match our artsy fartsy personalities...as well as the personalities of many of our guests attending. In addition, many of our friends and family are environmental activists or artists themselves - so I can imagine them reusing this eye catching design by way of collage, scrap booking, or even something like a beautiful origami crane in honor of our commitment! Much thanks to all who are helping aid in such a wonderful opportunity!
I really like the "deco" style invitations. They're beautiful and would really give my guests an idea of what our wedding will be like. Such a pretty design. Good luck everyone! *crosses fingers* xx :)
My fiancé and I are trying very hard to make everything in our wedding zero to low-impact and ethical! It's been quite difficult and frustrating being in the mid-west while also sticking to a budget. I stumbled across the WebVert site a while back but chalked it up as Another One Of Those Things We Can't Afford. While I love all the designs, I'm most fond of "Botanical". However, I know fiancé would like "Quill" the best and I do agree that one is amazingly beautiful.
Wow! I like the deco style the best! Neat giveaway!
Quill is my favorite--so beautiful and classy! Not too feminine, but still 'soft.' This would be an amazing giveaway to win! THanks!
I love the Deco. It is so rare to come across purple invitations. The design really does remind me of beautiful old art deco jewelry.
I love the DECO invites! They're gorgeous! I also love all the DIY templates...those are super!
Can I just love them all :)
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this post, as I am paper OBSESSED and have been on a mission to find the perfect invitations for our wedding. While their are so many beautiful selections out there, nothing has felt really right... until now.
I love the Botanical collection for so many reasons. First, the colors are perfect for our green-and-white summer wedding. Second, my fiance and I are all about mixing and matching patterns in clothing and home design, so the way the different design elements and fonts work together feels very "us" and would perfectly set up our classic-yet-eclectic, modern-yet-romantic big day. Finally, making our wedding eco-conscious is very important to me. I am all about organic, sustainable foods, biodynamic wines, DIY favors, etc. Not only do I believe the philosophy is it better for the environment, it's also a way to make our wedding feel like it's authentically us!
It was love at first sight with the Deco invitations...These would be perfect to set the mood for our vintage glamour inspired wedding!
I can't believe these incredible invitations are all made with eco-friendly materials. This is proof that we can have a green wedding and not have to sacrifice style one bit!
I've already printed the matching DIY templates and I'm looking forward to using them at a bridesmaids luncheon I'm having for my girls. Thank you!!
I absolutely LOVE the Botanical invitations, they are gorgeous! My wedding is in a vineyard in north Georgia and the bright green and fun pattern would be perfect for my nature inspired wedding. My favorite thing about these invitations is they are not only beautiful, but eco-friendly! I just graduated from law school and have spent the past two summers working as a legal intern at non-profit environmental law firms and hope to pursue a career in environmental law. It makes me really happy to see that brides can make an eco conscious invitation selection without sacrificing style. I am still looking for a job (the economy has made it really difficult for recent law grads) and my fiance is still in graduate school with lots of student loans, so we would be thrilled to win these gorgeous wedding invitations! Thanks for sharing!
I loved the deco. It's so pretty and refreshing. Thanks I did not know this site
I love the quill. So elegant and classic. My wedding is taking place at a restored Victorian home and the surrounding gardens in rural PA. I would love to win these invitations as a way to support our eco-friendly and budget savvy wedding. What a great way to start a marriage! Best of luck with your new website!
My fiance and I love the Quill invites. We are aiming for a retro vibe, and that would look lovely with our other decor. More importantly, I am so happy to see you highlighting these lovely green companies! Especially with invites, it's harder to find eco-conscious stationers... but definitely an easy way to make (less of an) impact.
We are getting married outside at a small rustic resort, we have been searching for a simple, elegant invite that encompasses our outdoorsy style. I would definitely choose the Woodland save Green invite. I is lovely and eco-friendly. We are doing our best to be "green" while planning our wedding, re-using items for decor and purchasing items that we know we will use again.
I'm in love with these invites for so many reasons! I love that these are so environmentally responsible AND completely gorgeous and elegant. The deco is my particular favorite as it would fit in with our wedding so well; we're getting married in 2010 at a barn in Connecticut, so we're aiming to have a simple affair, nothing too fussy to interfere with the barn's natural beauty, but with an elegant twist. The simple circular design of the deco invitation and the repeating motif fits the bill perfectly, plus it would play off the lace in my dress. Aesthetics aside, it does my heart good to see more and more ecologically conscious choices for brides, as well as green and female entrepreneurship!! I graduated a year ago with a MS in biology, concentrating on conservation and the environment, and one of my main reservations about having a wedding was not the expense, but the waste, both pre- and post-wedding. Invitations from WedVert, as well as the wedding website and favors, would be additional ways to add to our goal of having a "responsible" wedding, as well as a subtle (not to mention *gorgeous* way) to bring the issues of recycling, green and carbon zero product choices to our guest's minds. Thanks!!
I am absolutely smitten over the "botanical" invitation suite. It's modern, fresh feel combined with it's eco-friendly benefits make these invitations perfect in my book. These would be a perfect fit for my outdoor, garden wedding.
WOW, I am crazy about the deco invitation suite. They are stunning! I'm actually planning a deco-Christmas wedding right now, and I've had a difficult time finding invitations that strike the delicate balance between deco and wedding appropriate- but this design NAILS it. And I love that you don't have to sacrifice being eco-friendly to use this invite. Thanks for sharing this great giveaway!
Hmmm, I can't decide which I like best... I really like aspects of both woodland and botanical! So different though!
The botanical rocks! I'm getting married in London and I like the way botanical feels old school grand AND modern. classic!
I love the Quill Line (in navy and charcoal or salmon)!! It reminds me of feathers and old books and history and romance and all things that I love! I also love that it is eco-friendly - the more planning I do the more I want to repurpose items rather than buy new - this goes right along with that idea...such a great giveaway!
I love the look of the Botanical invitations! I'm in the very early planning stages of my 2010 wedding, and one thing we've struggled with is keeping things as green as possible, while still keeping the traditions I love, like paper invitations. Eco-friendly invites are perfect for us. Our colours are going to be green and white, and the Botanical invitations have that modern, clean look I love. All the designs are beautiful.
I absolutely love the Deco design, especially the circle in the center. The design around the circle just pops out. So elegant. And I love purple!
The shape of the envelopes are amazing!!!!
I love the quill design, so simple and beautiful!
I love "Botanical". Our upcoming September farm wedding is inspired by all things green: fresh crisp granny smith apples, cool iced green tea, and chartreuse spider mums! Not only is this gorgeous design a perfect match for our colour palette, the invitations are also eco-friendly. For a bride that's both style and planet conscious, it's a match made in heaven. Oooh, and they're Canadian, too!
OMG!! I am obsessed with the Deco design! I'm in the very beginning stages of planning our wedding for next April and would love to play off of this design! Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, delicious, and I could go on! Thanks SMP
Hi,
All of these designs are absolutely gorgeous, and I love the fact that they combine eco-awareness with your grandmother's jewelry box. Really if you think about it, there is nothing as environmentally friendly as vintage! Let's recycle the old with a fresh new eco-friendly face :)
p.s. - along those lines, i feel inspired by the botanical line.
I am in love with the design of the Deco LUXE Invitation.
I have based my entire wedding feel and vibe off of the vintage, elegance of my venue which these invites PERFECTLY match! My FI and I have been working our tails off to pay for our wedding ourselves - it is very important to not burden our family. We instead want to treat all those invited to an evening of love, a celebration of our love. Although I deeply love those invites, we certainly cannot afford them with our smaller budget. We are trying to DIY as much as we can but I can't think of anything that is more "us" than these invites. Winning this would really make our day and we would be oh so grateful. I'll be crossing my finders!!! :)
I think Woodland is my favorite, although I also like Quill!
Beautiful, beautiful stuff. I am getting married in seven months, and I must say that I have been enchanted by the Woodland design. It is unexpected and totally lovely. Plus, it is completely appropriate for a winter wedding, which is something that I have been having trouble with.
Oooh! Everything is lovely!! But if I had to pick just one, I'd go with Deco. Very classy!
The Bloom LUXE Invitation is definitely the design I'd want for my invitations. The design just POPS and would fit my theme (shiny elegance with a lot of glam, using various shades of pink with rhinestone/cystal/silver accents). That design is oh-so-Porsche!
I'm torn between Woodland LUXE and Botanical. I love the font face for botanical and the whole design - it's absolutely breath taking. But I think the understand elegance and simplicity of the Woodland invitation better compliments the natural-toned feel we're going with (our wedding colors are actually boring old cream and shades of tan). Either way, the designs are fabulous and I think any bride would be lucky to have any of them!
I absolutely love the Bloom design! The design is fun and informal, but still with that touch of lovely elegance - exactly the feeling we want for our wedding! I just love the modernity of the floral design, paired with the beautiful envelope liner and belly bands that create such an interesting and textured look. I would love to have these invitations be the first taste of our wedding for our guests!
These are FABULOUS! I have been searching for the perfect invitation for months! I've seen some that I've liked, but none that I have truly LOVED. After looking at the botanical line I knew it was the one...just like finding the perfect wedding dress! The colors, font, and design fit perfectly with the feeling we want for the wedding. My family is helping us as much as they can with the cost of the wedding, and I really value all of their opinions, so I've already had them check out Yoko's site. They are an honest bunch, but I received 'two thumbs up' from them all!
I love, LOve, LOVE the CAMEO. The clean black designs with the suble white back ground really gives it a truly classic yet romantic feel. That is exactly what we are trying to go for with our spring romantic wedding. I love this site!
I absolutely adore the Quill design!!! My fiance and I have been looking for the right invitations for a while now, and this is the first thing we've seen that we can agree on. The peacock feather gives them a rich, exotic feel, and yet the subtle embellishments on the invitation maintain its elegance. Best of all it fits perfectly with our plan to use peacock feathers as accents in the bouquets and centerpieces at the reception. If we could get the Quill invitation set in the chartreuse green color, then they would set the ideal tone for our upcoming winter wedding!
[...] We are SUPER excited to announce our Wedding Invitation Giveaway on Style Me Pretty! [...]
I love the Bloom design! It's playful and beautiful while still a great use of our natural resources!
I love the funky-boldness of Botanical! It would perfectly represent my outdoor October wedding at a local art center! The design has the flowering nature aspect of the ceremony scenery. Yet it also has the fun, artsy aspect of the galleries that will be open during the cocktail hour and reception for guests to wonder through.
It's perfect!!
The botanical invitation suite is so stunning it took my breath away! This style and color scheme would go perfectly with our southern california winery wedding. I especially love all of the detail of the inner envelopes and band around the invitations. The apple green is one of the accent colors as well as a papaya orange for the flowers while the the bridesmaids will be wearing stone colored dresses.
I'm seriously digging QUILL. My fiance and I enjoy simple, clean designs and this design def is it!
we heart the woodland design. our plans for our wedding have been to achieve our personal style while staying within our small budget and minding effects on the environment. Our wedding is following a reduce, reuse and recycle motto. reduce costs and waste by reusing and recycle by giving back. shopping thrift shops and rummage sales for decor and attire, salvaging cardstock paper scraps from work to make place cards and other paper goods. we have been doing well so far but we are at a stand still for invitations primarily due to high cost. we would love to keep our motto in effect when it comes to invites. hopefully that is where you come in, your line is just so beautiful and inspiring. woodland would just be the perfect match for our outdoor ceremony and indoor/outdoor reception at an old bank barn. woodland reflects all the exposed wood of the barn as well as the elegance of the wrought iron chandeliers... we would be proud to win this giveaway, it would really help us set the tone for "our special day".
I am in love with the bold green Botanical design. It would be so perfect for us because our ceremony is going to take place in our city's botanical garden, and then our reception is going to be at a local restaurant that focuses on using ingredients from local farmers (and their colors are yellow and a beautiful green!) The Botanical design is a wonderful balance of modern and classic, just like us and our wedding!
Hello WedVert!
I am loving the Woodland and Botanical designs! I wish I could get both or combine them somehow!!! WE are having our wedding in the Adirondack Mountains and your invitations would fit the theme perfectly! :)
