Jewel Toned Spring Vineyard Wedding

Sarah and Matti’s Dove Ridge Vineyard wedding was gorgeous with jewel tones, vibrant flowers, pops of gold and touches of greenery. This letterpress invitation with pink tones was just perfect for their wedding style.

There is so much to love about Sarah and Matt’s invitation suite, we don’t even know where to start! Sarah and Matt tied the knot at the North Texas venue- Dove Ridge Vineyard. Their jewel toned wedding day was filled with vibrant flowers, pops of gold, and touches of greenery! For their invitation suite, we created monogrammed letterpress invitations in a gorgeous pastel mauve, completed with a floral watercolor envelope liner and custom map. Their envelopes were a gorgeous shade of pink to complement the invitations, and it all tied together with a pretty pink bow! We also designed seating chart frames and table numbers in their style to create a cohesive and elegant feel throughout their wedding! Their custom monogram, which we used on top of their invitations, was also used on their wedding cake and added the perfect touch of flair! Their guests enjoyed a flower filled reception and were treated to a spectacular firework show to end the night!

Vibrant Modern Springtime Styled Shoot

Love this pastel pink invitation suite for a spring styled shoot.

With the change of the season comes a new and vibrant color palette that we could not be more excited about! We loved creating this pastel pink invitation suite for a styled shoot last spring, and these invitations are still as gorgeous as ever. For this styled shoot, we created deckled edge invitations with floral vignettes and matched them with a soft pastel pink envelope. To compliment the invitation, we paired it with a gorgeous gold monogrammed wax seal and a pink silk ribbon to add a touch of texture! This invitation suite went so perfectly with the vibrant florals and watercolor cake that we are still swooning!

Invitation Wording Samples Based on Who is Hosting

One of the most common questions we have about wedding invitation wording is the hosting line. Family situations can be a little complicated sometimes. You always want to avoid uncomfortable situations and not hurt any feelings, which is why the hosting line is so important.

The typical layout for the top of your wedding invitation is as follows:

Hosting Line (whoever is hosting your wedding whether it be you, your parent(s), or a loved one)

Request Line (inviting your guests to your wedding)

…request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter

…request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter (house of worship only)

…invite you to celebrate their marriage

…invite you to share in their joy as they exchange marriage vows

Followed by the bride and groom names and the date, time, and location below.

(!!) bonus tips:

Very traditional hosting wording includes middle names. Example: Mr. and Mrs. William Calvin Metheny You can still have a traditional invitation without middle names; however, no middle initials should be used.

Titles such as Doctor, Reverend, and Honorable should be spelled out.

Very traditional host line also list a married couple together as Mr. and Mrs. William Calvin Metheny. You will notice the wife’s first name is not listed as it’s with her husband’s name. This is old fashioned, yet still considered the formal traditional way to address a married couple. If you wish to list the wife’s first name, opt for a more casual wording. Example: William Metheny and Joan Metheny

If you’re looking for a more casual invitation wording, you may omit titles completely.
