Ashley's Wedding Invitations- Dusty Lavender and Grey

I love to be able to do the invitations of friends, and Lauren, Haydee and Ashley are all dear friends. Ashley and I go way back to 10 and unders softball. She was my maid of honor and I am honored to be in her bridal party! When it came time to design her invitations, she wanted something vintage but classic. We decided to take the lace of Haydee's design and use it more in the background.

The Invite layer was letterpressed by Darling Press and Stationers who did an amazing job. The rest of the items were digitally printed to match. We also incorporated Rehearsal Dinner Invites, and a special RSVP for those who are attending. It will save on paper and stamps! The whole suite is put into a beautiful dusty lavender pocket.

Haydee's Wedding Invitations- Indigo and Champagne

First of all, I had been dying to do these two colors together since Envelopments had sent out a new deck of patterns. They had their kaleidoscope print in navy on the Pyrite paper and it was gorgeous. Haydee is a good friend of mine who is having a beautiful wedding in Napa. She wanted to tie in lace to her invitation while still keeping it modern. We completed the set with a bellyband that showcases the bride and groom and the wedding date.

These were screen printed in matching PMS colors. 

Lauren's Vintage Wedding- Rose, Ivory and Gold

Lauren's Wedding Invitations came out amazing. They had a simple and classic design to them, along with a beautiful patterned pocket card. The invite layer was printed by a local letterpress printer and the inserts/RSVP were screen printed by my husband's print shop. I absolutely love how these came out.

Various Projects- Save the Dates

So I have been super busy working on some amazing projects over the past few months. Here are some pictures of some of my most recent Save the Dates. Once school is out I will be able to concentrate more on the blog! Right now the large amount or orders are forcing me to ignore my blog! Check back later for some bridal shower invites!

happy holidays during this sad time

For the next few weeks, I will be responding very slowly to emails due to the holidays coming up. I will still be responding and getting work done, just at a slower pace than normal. I have also been having problems with Gmail. If you do not hear back from me within 48 hours, please email me again or leave me a message on Stella Bella Invites Facebook page.

I also wanted to comment on the horrible events that transpired yesterday in Newton. My heart swells with sadness of the innocence lost. I am a teacher and it angers me to think that anyone could actual go into a school and hurt innocent children. Every teacher I know would lay down their lives for their students, just as they did in Newton. Those teachers, the principal and other staff members courageously saved their students and are true heros. My heart and prayers go to the families who lost their sweet young children, and also to the families whose children witnessed these horrible events. I wish that as a country we can find a way to stop these senseless slaughters and learn from what has happened. I don't want to get political, but there are issues that need to be addressed to ensure that someone can never walk into a school again with a semi-automatic weapon and hurt our innocent children in the one place they should feel safe. I hope that everyone this holiday season holds their love ones close and no longer take their families or friends for granted.

Sincerely,
Christine
