laine inspiration board - birds and trees/browns and greens

This spring we added the Laine wedding invitation to our store and it has quickly become our most popular design. Here are some of our favorite complimenting brown and green pieces from the Etsy Wedding Team!

jenna and craig - plum and sage belly band

Well, you can still call this a belly band right...I guess it goes the other way? :) In any case, Jenna and Craig added a lovely DIY touch to our Leanne wedding invitation by incorporating a ribbon and square monogram to match the invite. I love the bold, solid line the ribbon creates in contrast to the thin lines of the invitation design. We also designed a custom map of Nova Scotia to be included in the set.

Thanks for the photos guys! Congratulations again!

katherine inspiration board - orange and pool blue

This has to be one of my favorite color combinations right now. I love how soft it is...yet still modern. The EWT has some great items in the same colors. I absolutely love pairing all of these pieces with our Katherine wedding invitation.

antiqued wedding invitation suite - lindsey and josh

Lindsey and Josh have been a fabulous couple to work with! We started about a year ago with a digital file for their save the dates to set the mood for the rest of the pieces. They knew they didn't want them to all be "matching," but definitely wanted pieces that fit together as a whole. We carried the delicate pink and green theme over into the wedding invitations, map, direction, and rsvp card. And we will soon be shipping the rehearsal dinner invitations to finish off the suite....photo coming soon. :)
