Wedding Invitation: Alicia and Nik

A while ago I've met Deborah and Steven from Canada in Etsy cyberspace when they've placed an order for some of my handmade airplane embellishments. The little airplanes were to be used as a finishing touch on wedding invitations to a destination wedding in Cuba. (Nik, Deborah and Steven's son, will be getting married to future daughter-in-law Alicia.)

I was really thrilled when Deborah and Steven shared some pictures of how the airplanes were used on Alicia and Nik's wedding invitations. They were also kind enough to give me permission to share a picture of the invitation here on my blog and now, with the RSVP's already coming in, I can do so without spoiling the surprise for the guests.

According to Deborah the response to the invitation was really great and family and friends from all over the world will be attending the wedding in Cuba. I just love the design of the wedding invitation and the combination of the kraft paper with the more colorful airmail border. I also love how the Cuban monogram sets the invitation apart from other travel-themed invitations. It really makes the invitation unique and gives it a lovely personal touch!

Seeing my little airplanes in action on such a lovely invitation is really special to me. It always makes my heart skip a beat when someone chooses something that I've designed and made to become part of an important celebration in their lives!

Thank you to Deborah, Steven, Nik and Alicia for supporting my little venture and for sharing with us. I hope you will have loads of fun while preparing for the wedding. My wish for you is a beautiful wedding day full of dreams coming true, love and happiness. May your wedding day be the perfect beginning to an amazing happily-ever-after, Alica and Nik!

Nautical Invitations with Wooden Sailboat Charms

These invitations are the latest addition to my portfolio. The invitations are perfect for invitations to weddings or other celebrations with a nautical theme. The basic invitation consists of a digitally printed flat invitation card which comes with a kraft envelope. Twine is wrapped around the invitation card and a small wooden sailboat is used as decoration. Matching response cards with kraft envelopes, accommodation cards and so forth can be added at your request.

The invitation is also available as a digital design, should you prefer to do your own printing. Please contact me for pricing. The wooden sailboats are also sold separately on Etsy. 

Featured on Arnhemsmeisje

I am so thrilled to have been featured on one of my favourite Dutch wedding blogs! Thank you to Arnhems Meisje and the girls of Assepoester! You can read the blog post here. I thought I'll share a few close-ups and some details here on my own blog as well:

This invitation was digitally printed on a beautiful and luxurious gold shimmer cardstock and then cut into a vintage shape. Each invitation comes wrapped in a bright and cheerful Dutch fabric wrap with a wooden heart button. (The buttons are hand painted and then engraved with the initials of the bride and groom).

 The specific combination of the more formal gold cardstock with a more informal fabric wrap is quite unusual, but I was very pleased with the end result. The invitation was originally designed for a backyard wedding with loads of homespun details. It may be customised in your wedding colours and is also available as a semi-DIY option!

Please stop by again on Friday, when I will share the other invitation featured on Arnhemsmeisje!
