Plantable Invitations made of Wildflower Seeds! An Inspiration Board...




1. Using environment friendly, soy-based inks your invites can be printed on 
handmade paper made of post consumer product and five different types of wildflower seeds (see 5-9).  Your gorgeous invite will be hung on your fridge until  your wedding and then it can be planted into the ground!
2.  A Sarah Seven dress sold at Lovely Bridal Shop: "Her gowns have the lightness and airiness that are fit for a goddess."
3.  Choose an earth inspired design for this paper: like the "Clean Tree" wedding invitation suite by Katie Fischer Design.  
4.  The "Floral" wedding band by Ken + Dana Design which is "available in recycled 18k gold, recycled platinum, or recycled silver and its handmade in NYC."  Ken + Dana Design specialize in environmentally friendly and socially responsible jewelry.  
5 - 9. The type of wildflowers that will grow from your plantable invitations: (5) alyssum, (6) catchfly, (7) baby blue eyes, (8) siberian wallflower, and (9) black eye susans.

Woodstock Inspired Invitations and Rustic Fall Weddings


1.  This was one of the most fun custom invitation projects to date.  The clients asked me to recreate the Woodstock poster for their invitation suite...  

2.  This design features fall colors for an October wedding in Vermont.  October has always been a favorite month! The smell of fall, Halloween, pumpkins, sweaters, sunshine, hot apple cider...  

3.  The mood calls for the use of cozy, rustic, psychedelic candles everywhere.

4 & 5.  My Woodstock Poster Wedding Invitation Suite will be included in an exhibit about the original Woodstock poster designers:  Byrd/Skolnick: A Tale of Two Posters exhibit at The Museum at Bethel Woods (March 31-June 10, 2012).  

6.  Having a fall wedding?  Consider serving hot apple cider spiked with rum during the cocktail hour or a virgin version at the end of the night.  Or just make it for yourself at home, so yummy. 

7.  A simple wild flower crown is a way for a bride to look fresh and free on her wedding day.

8.  DIY: Give out jars of homemade granola as reception favors.

9.  Hire Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design to get an innovative wild flower look at your wedding. 

10.  And, isn't this the perfect dress to go with this suite?  Check out Delphine Manivet at Lovely Bridal Shop.
