Couldn’t get enough of the Royal Nuptials last month? Neither could we, so couldn’t help getting in on the act again with our crown jewel invitation, this time in soft pink but with traditional, regal inspiration.

Nothing says lace has to be vintage or classic- I love the Alannah Rose Lovely Lace invitation because with it’s peachy pinks and browns it brings a touch of modern whimsy. A lace gown with a fun veil and sleek silhouette, gorgeous peachy pink shoes and a final touch of glamour with sparkles and martinis.

For a different spin on our popular Latte Lace wedding invitation, I thought I’d make it a little more fun by using a mish mash of favourite things- some pretty rosette shoes, a sparkly charm bracelet. This is a relaxed wedding- comfortable shoes, comfortable gowns and a lot of laid back, casual touches.

The soft, magic of cherry blossoms reminds me of a Japanese spring. This wedding style centred around our Very Cherry Blossom Wedding Invitation is all about pink. Use many different shades to create interest and pair it with the chocolate brown from our invitation so it doesn’t become too girly!

I love the idea of taking our Love Me tender wedding invitation in it’s rich berry red and creating a jewel toned wedding around it. Bridesmaids in rich blues, reds, greens and golds, stunning multi-coloured earrings and a bold and elegant gown.

To me, The Alannah Rose Sweet Shoppe wedding invitation has always been traditional with a touch of retro glamour- the stripes add a little something special. Classic elements like a beautiful silk tie or clean white bouquet can have stripey details. Add a buffet full of white treats and sweet pink bridesmaids gowns to make it doubly delicious.

Our Bicycle Built For Two wedding invitation always helps me imagine a wedding full of whimsical fun details- short gowns, trays and trays of sweet treats like fairy floss and pink lamingtons and little details like peppermint striped paper straws. Hop on a bicycle and ride away with your new husband with a bouquet and sunglasses and ride off into the sunset. Simply the sweetest way to spend a weekend.

Today’s wedding, centered around our Sweet Serenade Wedding Invitation is a classic one. Pearls, beautiful fluffy bouquets and the soft touches of pinks. Classic elegance never goes out of style with accents like silver candlesticks and simple, textured white cakes.

I love the colour combination of our Modern Retro wedding invitation design, even though we’ve made it in other colours, the original yellow and grey has such a freshness to it. For today’s wedding inspiration I dreamt of a wedding with sleek lines- a stylish bride in a no-fuss hollywood glamour gown, an unusual bouquet in a bright spot of yellow, sexy shoes and clean and modern decorations like this ghost chair.

Simply sweet is a garden wedding based on our new  Rose Kiss Wedding invitation. Shades of peach, pink and cream give a big old fashioned feel to the wedding which is classic and romantic.

The Alannah Rose Chocolate Box wedding invitation holds a special place in my heart- it was one of our first designs and I believe it stands the test of time! It brings together the elegant stripes, a flair of vintage lace and one of my favourite colour combinations- brown and blue. Today’s board is the elegant classic take on this style- classic chocolate cakes (but with a twist of cocoa monograms), a classic ballgown (with sweet butterflies attached) a classic bouquet (with beautiful blue ribbon) and a classic pearl necklace (with a sparkling clasp).

Our black and white Le Boutique wedding invitation is still one of my favourite designs. Something about the bold black and white stripes almost turns into a neutral, elegant accent at a wedding.

This wedding inspiration board plays off the stripes, instead of hiding them and is filled with stripey accents, from the groom’s tie to the ribbon around the bouquet and modern shapes (like the black Louis Ghost chair). Sometimes I like to play up the detail!
