Kristin and Nathan’s wedding invitations were a blast to create. This fun couple chose a palette of beautiful jewel tones for their wedding colors and wished to incorporate all of them into the invitation design. Lots of bright colors – An intimidating prospect for this neutral-loving minimalist, but a worthy challenge.
To create a joyful and fun feel I chose a confetti theme. To elevate the design from the birthday party realm I wrapped the invites with a band of vellum and pink baker’s twine.
The suite included an invitation, a ceremony insert card and a second insert with registry information and a map on the reverse. I also created a custom wrap-around label to match.
I printed on a bright white, heavy card stock. The paper is matte, but the ink is nice and glossy giving the invitation a clean and polished look.
Those confetti dots may look simple, but they were the most difficult part of the design. Designing something to look random and unintentional is a lot harder than you would think. It was a painstaking process, but it was important that the circles didn’t look too perfect and I’m really happy with the way it turned out.
Best wishes to Kristin and Nathan!
They’re beautiful. As usual. 🙂

Thanks April! Means a lot coming from a talent like you!
I love that you took so many colors and still made it classy. Who would have thought confetti and every color in the rainbow would work so well for a wedding invite. You’ve got a knack for this… that’s for sure! 🙂
Are you a wedding invitation designer? I love those invites and I’m looking for something like this. I can’t find a website for you 😦
Hi Ashley! Yes, I design wedding invitations. I used to sell through an Etsy shop, but lately have just been taking on custom projects on a more one-on-one basis. I’d love to talk more about making your wedding invitations – could you send me an email with more details of what you’re looking for? natbussio@gmail.com. Thanks!
