Suite Saturday: Get Set for Your Event

Invitation: WH-74, Note: CC-207 and Response/Table Card: WCC-11

Woodland weddings inspired this series of Spring/Summer 2014 invitations from Bella Ink Designs.  Each invitation is shown with corresponding notes and response/table cards that will set the tone for any rustic event, whether it's in a barn, by a lake or at the city's hip new eatery.

Invitation: PH-163, Top Note: W-32, Middle Note: EF-76 and Bottom Note: EF-92

Bella Ink is embracing the rainbow hued bridal party trend by incorporating a variety of vibrant colors on each Spring/Summer 2014 invitation.  Pinks mix with hot oranges, and sunshiny yellows mesh with aquas and orchids.  Be sure to visit the Bella Ink website and check out WH-75, too.  This bridal shower invitation is a simple blue and white design featuring a bride and her bouquet, which is bursting with color.

Invitation: WH-72, Top Note: EF-80, Response/Table Card: WCC-11 and Bottom Note: EF-91

In addition to wildflowers, take a cue from these invitations and incorporate feathers into bouquets, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements for the big day.  And remember, wedding invitations should match the bride and groom's vision and personality, even if that means building a suite of stationery that's  a little less traditional.  It will make complete sense to those who know them well.

Invitation: CH-38, Response/Table Card: WCC-11, Holiday Greeting: CC-165 (Inside: And a Happy new Year)

We're going to admit to something.  We've found ourselves humming carols while doing mindless activities.  The First Noel often comes to mind without any prompting.  This is clearly a sign to start incorporating holiday designs into our Suite Saturdays.  Ready or not, we're embracing the spirit of the season and preparing for all the family, friends, food and fun coming our way.  And, if any snow in our near future could be kept to evenings, weekends, and ski towns, it may be a perfect winter.

Invitation: CH-35, Response/Table Card: WCC-11, Holiday Greeting: CC-168 (Inside: And a Happy New Year)

A favorite holiday greeting from last season has been reinvented in CC-168 (above).  This time around a flurry of icy blue snowballs frame the text, "Peace Love and Joy."  The inside reads: "And a Happy New Year."  Greetings may be purchased singly, or in boxes of 10 or 20.  Envelopes are always included!  Don't forget, our elves our more than happy to give your invitations some extra sparkle by having them hand-glittered in the Bella Ink studio before shipping!

Invitation: PH-53, Response/Table Card: WCC-11, Thank You Note: EF-88A (Blank Inside)

Bella Ink's PH-53 is a classic holiday invitation here at Bella Ink.  This design has a coordinating Thank You note available for purchase, making it a fabulous option for a winter wedding.  As with all of Bella Ink's invitations, you can have them printed in the Bella Ink studio before they ship.  Visit the custom printing page on our website for additional information!

Invitation: PH-135, Response/Table Card: WCC-11, Note: W-35TY

Some women have been dreaming about their wedding day since they were little girls.  And while each one is different, there are definitely the fairy tale princess types who love their pinks.  Bella Ink can help them incorporate that color into their events with ease.

Invitation: WH-51, Response/Table Card: Cream, Note: EF-136TY

Cotton candy, mauve or fuchsia, Bella Ink can splash as little or as much of the bride's love for pink across invitations for everything from the bachelorette bash to the wedding itself.  No matter what, Bella Ink's expert mix of color and pattern will help make a fabulous first impression right out of the envelope.

Invitation: PH-156, Response/Table: WCC-11, Folded Note: EF-151

Thursday's starfish invitation suite on the Bella Ink Instagram (bellainkdesigns) inspired us to show off a few more of our favorite combos in a new feature called Suite Saturday.  Whether you're a beach bride, a traditional bride, a vintage bride, a modern bride or a whimsical bride, Bella Ink has a suite to make your event sparkle.  (The hand-applied glitter may have something to do it with it, too...)
