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.
