Paper Themes Vintage Invitations

Now that our wedding is finally booked, including our (and family) hotel and flights, I thought it was time to relax and have a bit of a break from wedding planning, but no, I was politely reminded that I needed to send out invitations and quickly so that guests had enough notice to get booked up.

I have no idea what I want our invitations to look like, I asked the other half and he just said whatever I wanted, which to some people would be music to their ears but to me it made me feel worse, I'm not creative I have no idea about design, the only ideas I had were that it had some sort of link to getting married in Greece without being too obvious. Surely I could type that into Google and hundreds of options would come up... nope!

So when I had the opportunity to have a look at some sample invitations* from Paper Themes I jumped at the chance. I received a sample batch of their vintage designs, which included a variety of invitation styles.

Truly, Madly, Deeply, Almond Eat, Drink & Be Married & Teal Vintage Damask

These invitations are really cute, I love the wallet design, it's not something I have come across often when I have been looking at invitations.

Ticket of Love Letterpress & I'm not sure the design name, I couldn't find it on the website

 These invitations are simple but effective, I really like the vintage ticket inspired font.

Vintage Rose & Beige Spots & Stripes

These invitations are more traditional in that they are like a card design, but they have a little wallet inside so that you can add as many or few cards of information that you require.

Wedding Lace Wedding Invitation

This style and design was my favourite, I love the luggage tag inspired invitation, I think this is a great way of getting all the information you need to get across in one go without the invitation looking too cluttered, and I am a bit addicted to lace at the minute so this caught my eye instantly.

I think the vintage styles have really helped me narrow down ideas for my wedding invitations, I really like the lace and teal damask invitations as they remind me of Greece without being really obvious.

Feel free to send me any links to wedding inspired posts!

Opa!

We have finally managed to book our wedding for June 2014!! In Rhodes, Greece!! Yay!

Haha yes this will be me!!

It took us a while to decide on a wedding abroad, it's something my boyfriend really wanted (due to his family politics) and I wanted a big party at home so we had to compromise, and we decided to get married in Greece as it's somewhere that we love and it's in a price range that means more of our family and friends can make it too.

We are getting married at Kalithea Springs, which is an old Italian spa, a lot of venues that are in the brochures are hotel or beach weddings although they are lovely they just aren't us, so I was really pleased to find this spa!

I'm very excited I wish it was this year!

Lace Obsession

For those that don't know I am currently in the process of planning my wedding, I thought I would give it a couple of weeks after our engagement in September before I went full girly and started looking at wedding dresses, but once I started I couldn't stop and I seem to have developed a lace obsession! 

I'm not sure where it's come from but I am literally obsessed with lace wedding dresses, I've been to try some dresses on and have been instantly drawn to any dress with lace detail!

I thought I would share some of my favourite lace dresses from pinterest, they are just sooo pretty!!

I have been lucky enough to find the dress perfect for me... and it is lace!!
