Goodmorning, hope you had a lovely 4th yesterday!

Today I’m introducing the second of my most recent designs for Minted’s wedding invitation line: Baby’s Breath.

Baby's Breath Wedding Invitation, Duncan Park Papers,

A little backstory on the inspiration…
In college I worked at a flower shop on campus, and I hated Baby’s Breath- I preferred other fillers, or nothing but greens with my flowers. More recently though, I developed a little crush on it- thanks to images like these:

Baby’s Breath (aka Gypsophila) on its own can be quite lovely, with its cloud-like fluffiness. I wanted this suite to capture that dreamy quality of Baby’s Breath, as well as its subtle nature. To see more beautiful images of Baby’s Breath in action, check out this Pinterest Board that I put together.

The Baby’s Breath invitation suite and the rest of my wedding invitations for Minted are available for purchase in my storefront.

My most recent wedding invitations for Minted were a lot of fun to work on. I really enjoyed focusing on the details in the coordinating pieces- to me, these thoughtful elements and unique touches are what make invitations memorable. Here is the first of my three new wedding suites, Country Classic:

My favorite parts of this suite are all of the slightly mismatched patterns. In designing the various pieces I wanted the overall look to be sweet and dainty, like the contents of a linen drawer in an old farmhouse.

Country Classic and the rest of my invitation suites can be found in my Minted shop. Check back later this week and early next week for posts on my other two new invitation designs!

I don’t know about you, but every time I check facebook somebody else has just announced a pregnancy or a birth, and my feed is full of sweet little faces and chubby baby thighs. I’m not complaining; I’m totally guilty of posting loads of baby pics, and it’s pretty fun to watch my friends become parents to little mini-me versions of themselves.

Below are some new baby shower invitations I designed for Minted, perfect for all of the expecting mommies-to-be in your life!
