4th of July Pre Wedding Picnic Invitations in Purple

Purple is the theme of the day here! I made a cute set of custom 4th of July picnic invitations for a couple getting married in Connecticut. Before their wedding they wanted to have an informal get together with their guests, so they had a pre-wedding picnic. 

Often the reception can feel rushed for the bride and groom, who spend the whole time trying to connect with all of their guests - having a pre or post wedding event like a BBQ or Bruch can be a great way to say hi in a more casual setting.

Below that, we have a picture of a cute way to package stationery - I had some extra pieces left from a nautical chart and used them as a belly band around the stack of envelopes and tied them off with a bow made from navy and white striped baker's twine.

Purple Seashell Wedding Invitations

The seashell invitations pictured above are my spiral shell wedding invitations paired with purple envelopes and purple text to match - a simple but stunning variation on the original design.

It's been nearly a year since I moved down to Florida from Cape Cod! The weather is pretty down here, the people are friendly (although, there are also some really..."colorful" types down here too) and the sunsets are unbeatably beautiful. Speaking of "colorful", many things are brighter down here - as one of my friends commented "the condos are the color of ice cream" - lots of coral, pink, purple, teal, orange and yellow brightening things up. 

I have to wonder if it's because the sunsets are that much more vibrant because of the humidity. Check out this purple wintertime sunset:

I definitely find that it's influencing my work! I want to develop a mint green invite, maybe with an interesting jellyfish...
