Beach And Ocean Inspired Boarding Pass Style Wedding Invitations

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and managed to grab a little of the sunshine that was floating about this weekend! I had a lovely day on Sunday at the World Inspired Tents Open Day at Darts Farm in Topsham .. enjoying the warmth of the open fire pits in the Tipi Tents and catching up with a few lovely wedding industry folk.

Today though I want to share with you a bespoke design which I worked on recently for some clients of mine who are getting married next to the sea in Turkey later this year.
They wanted a boarding pass style invitation in its own pocketfold so they could include lots of information for the guests who were coming, and loved the idea of a simple design in tiffany green and coral colours with 'ocean' motifs.

Here's the design I came up with ( the details have obviously been changed to protect my clients privacy ) ...

I loved working on this colour combination as it looks so fresh and summery.
Here are some styling ideas I've come up with to match ... I'm definitely thinking along the lines of lots of gorgeous white floaty fabric to go with the beach theme.

Beach Theme Wedding Ideas

Whilst I'm on holiday ( although its the Cotswolds not the Caribbean!) I thought I'd concentrate my Weekly Wedding Inspiration on some gorgeous beach themed wedding ideas.
I've tried to look for more alternative and boho ideas ... rather than the traditional starfish and turquoise details you see lots of for beach themed weddings.
So driftwood details with beautiful blowsy flowers and gorgeous lanterns dressing tables is exactly what I was after ....

Introducing A New Range of Wedding Stationery - Tropical Travel

I hope you're enjoying seeing all the new things and collections which are being launched on the new look Knots And Kisses website this week. http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

This morning I am featuring the last of the four new Wedding Stationery ranges that I have launched to coincide with the new website.
This one is called Tropical Travel.

I am often asked to design wedding stationery for clients who are getting married abroad. I already have my Vintage Travel range … but with that having more of a colonial feel, I wanted to come up with something which would be appeal to those clients who wanted a more colourful, tropical theme.

I was inspired by my travels to Thailand & Australia and so went for brightly coloured flowers and a contrasting map print mixed with dark woods and printed leather ties. The bright pink printed luggage tags add a fun element and make the design very easy to personalise.

 

Available as a folded square, pocketfold or postcard style invitation, with a full matching range of reception stationery … including my new range of Guest Books and Simply KandK Blank Invitation Packs.

This design was inspired by a bespoke design I created for a recent client so I am using the moodboard I created for it as an illustration on how to get the Tropical Travel look.

Tropical Travel Inspired Bespoke Wedding Stationery

Hope you're all enjoying a fabulous bank holiday weekend! We're still on holiday here at Knots & Kisses but I wanted to line up a cracking post for you whilst I'm away!

I recently designed a bespoke wedding invitation suite for lovely couple Nicole & Adam who are getting married in Thailand next year. They wanted a fun and colourful travel inspired stationery set. We came up with several different designs and they ended up going for a different print which I'll share with you soon.
However I really loved the design below which I came up with along the way and wanted to share with you.
I love the mix of the florals with the brightly coloured map print.
If you would like a bespoke design for your wedding please don't hesitate to get in touch via the website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

Check back on the blog on Wednesday for more about this stationery and some styling ideas to match.

Tropical Orchid Themed Wedding Stationery & Styling

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I'll hopefully have been enjoying myself in the south of cornwall .. as I'm writing this as a pre-scheduled post whilst I'm on holiday :)

I've had the pleasure to make some invitations recently for a lovely client who is getting married on a Cruise Ship next year, and who's Save the Dates I designed previously.
Her colour scheme was Orange & Pink with Orchid Details .. but she also wanted a glamorous touch so I added an ivory card and pearl details .. inspired by the pictures she sent me.

The invitations were sealed in their own matching ivory boxes and tied with fuschia pink ribbon before being pre addressed to send to her guests.

To match the stationery I designed here are some styling ideas for a tropical Orchid themed wedding ... perfect for any beach or cruise ship wedding .. or just if you want to inject a splash of colour into your wedding!
