Wedding invitation designs

Wedding invitations are as important as any item on your wedding list. Aside from spreading the news to your friends and relatives via word of mouth, wedding invitations are actual evidence that you and your partner are sealing the deal.

Just as you put much thought on what to wear and how to decorate your venue, so should you think about the overall look of your wedding invitation. It speaks of you and your soon-to-be spouse, and the theme and mood of your big day. Depending on the design, wedding invitations tell your guests to expect either a very formal event or a whimsical themed reception.

There are a lot of wedding invitation designs ranging from the classic to the contemporary to the unique. Here are some inspirations for your wedding invitations:

An almost change

Just when I thought all is well, the site hosting my template was suddenly removed. I thought I had to look for another template (which I did, so to some it may have looked like hodge-podge a few minutes ago). Good thing I found the same template from a different source. Whew!

Thank you, Google and Blogger Blog Templates. :)

Inspiration board - Pink and Gold

I've always been in love with pink. Ever since I was a girl, I'd say that's my favorite color. That's why I came up with this inspiration board with pink as the main color and gold as the accent.

The combination is classic and elegant. I'd say this is a great motif color for probably a vintage or English tea party theme. And to get you started, here is my collage of photos to give you an idea for a pink (or blush) and gold wedding.
