Selecting the invitations...

It was true front door service for my siser, when I drove to Montgomery this past weekend with the suburban filled to the brim with wedding invitation books and samples! We had a blast looking through all the options with the newest member of the family - Ella (4 month old min. schnauzer!). If you remember she is getting married down here at the beach, so the same question arises like with most beach brides - what should the invitation look like with a wedding ceremony in the sand? Many southern beach brides still want a traditional look to their invitation without going so formal, so this request can be challenging. I, on the other hand, do not find this request challenging at all! I am an Alabama girl, but have lived here on the beach for six years now and mastered the art of merging traditional southern style with the fun and contemporary life on the beach... it only took us about 1 hour to find the perfect one after looking through 10 different wedding invitation books! I focused on the style of the location of the wedding (Rosemary Beach, FL), and the colors being used in the wedding to help the bride select the perfect invitation. I believe the wedding invitation sets the whole mood for the event because it is the first thing your guests will see! We did select an invitation from William Arthur, but will not reveal the winner in these pictures... you will have to wait for them to arrive in the mail!
