Invitation wording is for a wedding hosted by the bride- and groom-to-be and their families. Other invitation wordings (for weddings hosted by the parents of the bride-to-be, etc.) are available.
If you require assistance with your invitations, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am most happy to help you. (Just click on the “contact” link in my gallery's main store page to send me a message.) I strive to answer all inquiries within two business days, and normally respond on the same day. (And hey, if you love Mucha, you're already a friend of mine!)
Another version of this same invitation in deeper, richer font colors is also available ~ choose the one which suits your wedding color scheme and personality.
Description: Fresh and festive, yet decidedly elegant, these beautiful Art Nouveau invitations set the tone for your holiday wedding. On the front, a layered look of fine parchment over vellum atop a frosted poinsettia base. On the reverse, vibrant poinsettias in shades of cherise pink, fuchsia, orchid and vermilion (ah, what a wonderful palette for winter wedding!).
Matching reception cards, R.s.v.p. cards, save the date cards, return address labels, postage stamps, menu cards, table number cards, wedding programs, fabulous DIY wedding projects and more are available in my gallery's Poinsettia Holiday Wedding Collection.
Paper choices: The default is the basic paper option. This will give you a smooth matte invitation and true colors. For a more luxurious look and feel, I recommend the linen. The felt option will give you a warmer look and texture (do look carefully to make sure you like the color change). For a more glamorous and luminous effect, you might try the metallic papers. The “ice” color will be more brilliant and keep the colors truer but somewhat brightened; “champagne” will give you a warmer, darker and more mottled effect (again, look carefully! ~ this is quite the color change and has a golden cast to it) while adding a lustrous sheen. (No, the “silver” and “gold” just don't work for this invitation.) Do try out the different options, look carefully, and choose the one that makes your heart sing. After all, your invitations set the tone for your special day, give your guests their first impression and clue them in as to what to expect. Take your time and get it right.
