WATERMELON & LIME GREEN WEDDING INVITATIONS


Most brides today are creating their own color palettes and no longer just desire white or ercu. They want to choose colors that coordinate and then carry this "color theme" throughout their event. It all begins with the introduction of color through wedding invitations.

Watermelon and lime green are a hot color trend for the summer months. These invitations by the Invitation Chef are a part of the new IC Collection. Beautiful, heavyweight metallic papers are layered for a substantial and elegant look. A pink crystal is added as a glamorous touch. Information cards are stacked and neatly displayed to communicate that the event is highly organized.

Please look out for a new invitationchef.com website in the coming month with exciting new color palattes and styles.

WELCOME TO THE INVITATION CHEF WEDDING BLOG



I created this wedding blog because when planning my own wedding, I felt there was a shortage of websites that focused on wedding invitation ideas. This led me to start designing my own line of invitations and assuming the role as the Invitation Chef. http://www.invitationchef.com/.



I wanted high quality invitations, but I also wanted specific colors that were not available anywhere. Also, my background is in high fashion, so I wanted something unique and special- not mundane like most of the invitations out there. I also did not want to spend a lot of money to get exactly what I wanted. I wanted to "cook up" my own wedding invitations and thus the name Invitation Chef came about.



In my search for the perfect wedding invitation, I fell in love with the Envelopments line of paper because they are extremely high-end, available in numerous colors and textures, and have enclosures that allow for all of the cards to be organized in a nice, cute package- not just thrown into the envelope. http://www.envelopments.com/



Another idea that I had was that I also wanted to "brand" my wedding. I wanted a unique invitation, a coordinating wedding website, and my "wedding theme" and colors carried thoughout my special day.



I feel that I accomplished this and will share my beautiful wedding day photos with you.



I had such an overwhelming response to my wedding invitations that I started designing invitations for my friends' weddings. Then they had an overwhelming response to their invitaitons so I have been determined ever since, to break through the clutter of the mundane wedding invitation space.



I will be sharing invitation ideas, colors and concepts that appeal to every taste. Buon Appetit!
