Here’s a great rhinestone accented invite that isn’t TOO gaudy and bling bling and also a cool pop-up cherry blossom invitation! What a great idea! Emi Ink, a Hawaii-based company, makes these invites and more! (photos from Emi Ink)

A friend with graphic design background shared this page with me and it’s soooo awesome with so many great ideas for invite designs and layout! (Thanks Kristen!) Most of these aren’t ‘wedding invites’, but I think that a lot of these ideas can be translated into amazing ‘wedding-appropriate’ designs! Here’s just a small sampling of what you’ll find!

Wow, this is one of the most ULTRA modern wedding invites I’ve seen! I wouldn’t get these, but if you’ve ever wanted to see what you’d look like as an anime character, these would be the people to get in touch with! Unique Wedding Invitations NY.com also has cute greeting cards and can create personalized artwork for you! (photos from Unique Wedding Invitations NY.com)

Beautiful graphic invites! KenzieKate makes amazing invitations that can be customized with your favorite colors. These invites are definitely not for the budget bride as they start around $10 each! But they’re oh so beautiful! (photos from KenzieKate)

I’m always on the hunt for neat wedding-related or design-related websites for ideas and inspiration for my own projects. This blog is partly for myself, so that I can have a visual log with pictures of the ‘gems’ that I’ve discovered…and this is also for others out there to use as a resource!

Here goes my first post!

Here’s what I found today at this amazing site for a company called The White Aisle. This site has affordably-priced EVERYTHING you could imagine for your modern Martha Stewart-esque wedding! Their invitations and other paper products are very affordable (invites with printed outer envelope start at around $2.75 each) and the cardstock colors, ink colors, and envelope colors are customizable!. If you’ve been bitten by the graphic design bug like I’ve been, they’ll even print your own design at no additional charge!

Here are some of their amazingly simple but elegant designs! (photos from The White Aisle)
