My wedding invitations: DIY tutorial


Well, this summer I will become Mrs Green :), cause I'm getting married.
Like any other girl, I want everything to be perfect and to have a dream wedding.
Little by little I'll share with you the little things which I hope will make this wedding perfect.

Both dresses are in progress :) - but until you'll see the dresses, I'll show you a project 
which is already finished: the wedding invitations.

I wanted to buy them in the first place, but I didn't like anything I saw.
So, I started to look on Google images to get inspired.
I found this picture:


And I knew I could do that and of course I added my personal touch :)

What you need:

Regular paper and some "lace paper" :) - I don't know how it is called 
but it is used for cakes - to put the cake on it :)
In my case there's no cake involved in this equation :)


Some crazy stamps :) and colourful ink



Colorful ribbon and a printer of course :) - you don't need a picture for that :)


What are the stamps for? you ask :)
To give the invitations your personal touch :)





You fold the paper and make a bow out of the ribbon and that's it :)
Aren't they lovely? :)


Other stamps I had:


Special thanks to lovely Beatrice for helping me. I bought the lace paper from her 
and she was very kind to lend me the lovely stamps from her personal collection
You can visit her here or here or here :)

Long live the green!

  5. Felicitari pentru invitatii, sunt superbe si o adevarata inspiratie :) Astazi o sa dau o raita prin magazine sa caut hartie dantelata.

    Marturiile tot tu le'ai facut? Si daca da, poti spune cum sunt ?

  6. Wow to its simple yet very creative style! I also love the vintage appeal of the upshot. :] Indeed, engrossing a personal touch to an invitation card will make it look more memorable and beautiful. I just love it! =]

  7. Buna! sunt superbe invitatiile facute de tine :) Felicitari! Ma gandesc sa fac si eu invitatii pt nunta unor prieteni si eram curioasa de unde ai luat stampila cu mireasa si mire. Nu reusesc sa gasesc nicaieri. Merci mult! Ioana.
