Our Wedding Invitations

Since I can't have you all there, I wanted to still send you an invitation through this post!
One of my favorite things is to send something beautiful for one to receive. I love the creative world of stationery, papers, stamps and the endless ways one can express a message through the old fashioned post. When the time came to create my own wedding invitations I made sure they would be something very special, and made with love using my own hands.
The invitations were carefully designed fitting in with our theme of gardenia paper flowers and touches of pastel blush pinks. The hand dyed silk ribbons wrapped each boxed invitation, topped with a sheen pearl paper that read "Walking on the beach together, hand in hand they'll be forever"
As you open the box, each invitation is topped with a handmade gardenia paper flower and dried peony petals. I then wrapped sheer tulle over the flower and petals to soften them.
The tulle is wrapped around the inside of the invitation to add soft details throughout

Each box was carefully wrapped with pearl white crinkly paper that illuminated each package so perfectly. Our guests mean the world to us and we thank them for receiving these invitations so graciously~ We love you all so very much and cannot wait to share our special day with you!

There's good news! Fanciful Designs now offers these custom invitations for all occasions, for more details click HERE

Love, Noel

Oh Noel,
Your invitations are exquisite and obviously reflect the gorgeousness of what your Wedding Day will be like. I cannot wait to see how it all looks. I know, without any shadow of a doubt, that it is going to be perfectly beautiful.
The 17th of September is going to be some special day if these stunning invitations are anything to go by. XXXX

Noel,

What a special prize all of your guests have received in the mail!
I can just see their faces beaming as they opened these beautifully crafted invitations. You've done a beautiful job and I am sure these invitations will be cherished as little momentos of YOU and your sweetie.
Is the wedding just a month away!? I'm anxious for you.
Enjoy the rest of your planning. We look forward to your special day even if we must "attend" via our blogs. Here's my RSVP!

Hello Noel,

Your invitations are simply divine - you are one of the most creative women I know. Everyone loves the pink flowers you made for the store and I always talk about you at least once a day.

My Dearest Noel,

This mother IS beside herself~

These invitations are like an exquisite paper cake wrapped in a silk peony bow!

I will never forget the day this unexpected "pearlized gift wrapped present" showed up in my mailbox.... It was laced with all the sweet whispers of YOU! And with nothing less than absolute perfection. I couldn't believe what I was holding, then opening, then seeing!

My wish is that all your precious blogging friends who have commented here could see these in person~

I AM SO SO PROUD OF YOU SCOOP!

Love,
Mom
