Wedding Invitations by Louella Press
We have a few more tips from my friends at Louella Press…
3. Sharing your thoughts: the design process.
Because your invitations will be an exciting preview of what’s to come, they should absolutely tie into the feel and décor of your day. The right invitation design for your beach wedding should inspire guests to pull out their chic sundresses and crisp khakis, without you having to say it (although you’ll probably want to reiterate… Your fiancé’s buddy “Boomer” may not pick up on the invitation nuances). A wedding inspiration board, something like the gorgeous examples Abby posts on SMP, is the perfect first step when sharing what you want with your graphic designer. If you’re not inclined to pull everything together on one board, showing a few favorite pages torn from wedding magazines or ideas found on blogs will also be a great start. Try to also come up with words to describe your wedding; whimsical, elegant, formal, earthy,< etc. This will help guide your designer when matching the look of the invite to the overall style of the day.

I am so excited about today’s post. My sweet friends at Louella Press have offered to give us their tips for working with a custom invitation designer. Having worked with so many brides, I know how completely daunting the task of choosing and ordering your invitations can be…from working within your budget, to settling on a designer, a printing process, fonts, colors, whew!
So, the girls at Louella are breaking it down for us!
A few tips for working with a custom designer from the ladies (and gentleman) at Two Paperdolls and Louella Press.
update…more lovely invitations pics have been posted today!
Before I dive into the current invitation trends, I wanted to mention something that my good friend, Christine Traulich, at RedBliss said to me recently…“Invitations should reflect personal style rather than the trend-of-the-moment.” This is so true. This should be the mantra that you repeat over and over again throughout the entire wedding process. Your wedding is about you and your fiance…not, about what is hot or in fashion.
