We request the pleasure of your company!
👰🤵
Invitations are like the front door of your wedding. They should give your guests a sneak peek into what to expect from your wedding - the 'keys' if you like.
🔑🚪
Should I wear a cocktail length dress? Or should I be on the hunt for a floor length gown? Are flats required or can I navigate the terrain in my new heels? Should I bring a wrap or a jacket? Ceremony in a place of worship or outside? Reception indoors or out?
👗👞👔👠
We created these gorgeous gate-fold invitations with an illustrated map of their venue property on a textured ivory cardstock. So unique and personalized to this outdoor-loving couple! Inside are all the details - location, order of events, wedding website and more.
😍
We think it tells the guests everything they need to know - outdoors, tented, romantic, garden near the woods.
Sooooo flats or chunky heels are best, a flowy cocktail dress would be perfect, guys should definitely have a jacket - especially for later in the evening, and girls, bring along a wrap, just in case.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can create your entire stationery suite - from Save the Dates, Invitations, Menus, Place Cards, Table Number, Seating Charts and Signage... all to coordinate to your wedding style and vibe.

I am reminding myself to embrace every season....
I am ready to embrace spring! 🌷

We are throwing it back...way back... like 136 years back!
Here is some advice from 1886 that rings as true today as ever.
Let's read it over a couple of times.
💙💙💙
Yup. Sure rings true.
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.

Let's talk wedding bouquets!
💐💐💐
Over here at Borrowed and Blue Weddings - we are experts in Wedding Floral Design. We can create a Floral Package for your wedding that fits your style and budget from the over-the-top elaborate to the stunningly simple - we are versatile, experienced and oh so creative!
💐💐💐
Did you know that there are several different wedding bouquet shapes? Yup! Here is a brief run down ... scroll through the pics to see an example of each:
💙💙💙
POSY - this is a small and simple bouquet, usually only 3 or 4 blooms and foliage. It can be made to fit flower girl - perfectly proportioned.
PAGEANT - this bouquet is meant to be carried cradled in your arms, a classic and elegant look.
ROUND - a round bouquet can be all one type of flower (totally classic!) or have a variety of blooms, either way, the look is neat, clean, and striking.
BIEDERMEIER - this is a vintage, round bouquet that is created by layering different types and colours of flowers in a concentric, symmetrical design.
CASCADE - this shape is one of the classics and is well suited to a refined, classic wedding especially for a taller bride.
HAND-TIED - this bouquet is a loose, rounded bouquet with the stems 'hand-tied' around the middle that gives off a beautifully, romantic vibe.
GATHERED - this look has a free and unpredictable feel - like you were wandering through fields and gardens and just gathered up a bunch of gorgeous blooms.

Which is your fave??
