NEW Beach Themed Designs!
alannah rose new designsSummer might be over but it sure inspired us to create some new beachy designs to add to our online boutique range! Did the warm summer weather inspire you to have a beach wedding?
When our entire continent is surrounded by water, it is no surprise that Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the World. From the white sandy beaches of tropical north Queensland to the coloured sands at Rainbow Beach and the trendy Bondi Beach in Sydney, not to mention the iconic beaches all along the Western Australian coast, Australia is the perfect backdrop for a beautiful beach wedding. All you need is the perfect beach wedding invitation to match!
We have created four new beach inspired designs to add to our Alannah Rose online boutique collection: Tropic Oasis, Ocean Serene, Beach Paradise and Paradise Reveal. As with all our designs, each creative is available as save the date cards, wedding invitations, rsvp postcards, place cards, menu cards, table number sets, guest seating charts, service covers, favour tags, gift registry cards and thank you cards. We can also customise the content for other types of invitations, such as engagement, birthday, corporate events, etc.
View the complete range here.
Tropic Oasis
Our Tropic Oasis invitation design is the perfect inspiration if you are planning a beach or tropical theme wedding. Nothing depicts a beach or tropical wedding more than bright blue skies, palm trees, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Impress your guests with a Tropic Oasis wedding invitation, which is also perfect for destination weddings, and take them on a journey to a tropical paradise before they even arrive for the wedding!
Ocean Serene
There is no better depiction of serenity than a sunset over the ocean water! Our Ocean Serene wedding invitation design is a classic beach theme that is perfect for a late afternoon or sunset wedding. This design is the perfect style to convey a calm and relaxing wedding vibe.
Beach Paradise
Our Beach Paradise design is a more casual take on the beach theme. Want to include your own photo? Our Beach Paradise creative is the best invitation design to incorporate a photo of the bride and groom for that added personal touch. Or, get creative with your photo by taking a picture of your very own message drawn in the sand. We can’t wait to see what photos our customers provide us for their invitations!
Paradise Reveal
For an elegant and classy beach or destination wedding, our Paradise Reveal is sure to impress! Gorgeous white curtains are tied back with soft pastel coloured flowers to reveal the most stunning crystal clear blue water. This is the epitome of beach wedding invitation design!

The Metallic Gold Foil Look Without The Price Tag
alannah rose new designs, wedding invitationsWho doesn’t love the look of metallic gold foil? Gold foiling adds that extra level of class and luxury to invitations and stationery but generally also comes with a high price tag. Given that the production process of traditional hot foil stamping is expensive and takes a lot of time and resources, traditional gold foiling methods are usually unobtainable for the average bride with a budget. The costs involved generally make foiling more appealing for smaller weddings and functions and cannot be applied to wide format options, such as large guest seating charts. In addition, the high price of traditional foil stamping can also limit brides to only be able to afford to foil their wedding invitations and RSVPs and have to settle for a different design and print for their menus, table numbers, bonbonnieres, service covers, guest seating chart and thank you cards.
Whilst cheaper foiling methods are available, if the production process is not done properly with high end equipment and carefully controlled variables, the result will be black speckles throughout the foiling, which immediately takes away from the class and luxury that foiling is meant to provide.
We have had many a customer ask us for gold foiling options. Although our production crew are hard at work optimising a cheaper foiling method that still delivers a high quality product, we have realised a gap in the invitations and stationery market that is not being well serviced. Hence, we have designed the Metallic Lookalike Gold creative.
What makes the Metallic Lookalike Gold design so unique and affordable? Well, instead of relying on the production method to create the gold foil effect, we have placed all the emphasis of creating the effect in the graphic design. The major benefit this provides is that the production process doesn’t cost any extra than a normal digital CMYK print. Not only is this an affordable option, but it also means that the artwork creative can be printed on large items like guest seating charts and posters. Now, you can have the metallic foil look across all your wedding stationery from save the dates cards, single-sided, double-sided and folding invitations to RSVP postcards, gift registry cards, place cards, menus, table numbers, service covers, favour tags, thank you cards and even your guest seating chart!
You can view and order the Metallic Lookalike Gold range here:

Be sure to keep an eye on our website for Metallic Lookalike Copper, which is coming very soon!

Things to look for in a wedding stationer.
alannah rose weddings, life, stationery tips, wedding invitations, weddingsToday i’m going to talk about wedding stationers. Let’s be honest. There are a LOT of wedding stationers out there now. The choices are limitless. And overwhelming. The pricing varies a lot. So how do you choose one wedding stationer over another?
Design of course is a factor, but there’s no point having a gorgeous design if it’s printed on bad card stock, or a printer that leaves banding throughout your solid colour. If you’re having trouble deciding, we highly recommend ordering a sample pack – this will give you a true indication on the quality of the invitations you are looking at.
So what makes Alannah Rose wedding invitations different from the rest of the crowd?
We’ve put together this little list to help – if you’ve still got questions, pop over to our Frequently Asked Questions section on the website, send us an email, or give us a call – we’re only too happy to help.

This party brings back so many memories of Ella’s Lady bird Party a couple of years ago, I love that our clients are inspired by our work! Today’s party was styled by clever Mum and Photographer Niki Sprekos, of Niki Sprekos Photography.
Niki put together this beautiful ladybird party full of fun and whimsical details to celebrate her daughter Georgie’s first birthday. Aside from all of the gorgeous details, the party was a hit with the kids, with colouring, games, a puppet show, face painting and ballooning and a ladybug hunt, all run by Fairy Flutterby, the party host for the day. There was no shortage of food and the children feasted on the delicious spread put together by Niki.
Congratulations Niki on creating and capturing a beautiful party!
