Another Classic Beauty

Another classic updated with modern touches

The modern monogram sits among the embossed details

Let's stick with the Classic Wedding Invitation theme previously discussed here & here. Today, I'm going to feature another modern classic. The invitation was introduced just a few months ago & it's quickly become popular for its stylish good looks.

This Bride had a small wedding planned with a big story behind it. She & her fiance were planning a large bash near New Hope, Pennsylvania when they found out her fiance's sister was expecting a baby on their wedding day. They were stuck in a bad position. Did they steam ahead with their plans & potentially miss meeting their niece or nephew? Would their wedding be the same without her fiance's sister? Would her fiance's parents have to choose between attending their wedding or their first grandbaby's birth? With kindness & grace, the couple scrapped their big wedding plans & chose to marry earlier on a smaller scale.

Instead, they invited about 15 of their nearest & dearest to stay in a New York City hotel for a long weekend, including a trip to City Hall for their marriage with a wedding cake celebration in Little Italy to follow. Simple & sweet.

Although the hotel rooms were booked & the plans were set, the Bride still wanted a wedding invitation as a memento. Classic was clearly the way to go. She found the ecru invitation decorated with a delicate, embossed pattern & everything fell into place. Instead of the classic black, script font, the Bride chose a softer, mocha ink color. We added a modern monogram to the top of the invitation & added a coordinating flourish at the bottom of the invitation. The results are stunning!

I have to admit, the story behind this invitation is almost as cool as the invitation itself!
