When I first connected with Lizzie, she told me about the shades of blue wedding theme she had in mind. She and Sean would be having a traditional Catholic mass for their ceremony, with a reception to follow later that evening at Lyon Oaks Banquet Center. I was confident I could help bring that vision to life through her invitations and we chatted about her options in terms of print method and embellishments to add to the overall vibe.

Looking at what she selected for her invitations and what panned out on the big day, it’s always a treat to see the alignment. Her invitations truly created a preview of the shades of blue wedding theme she’d orchestrated. Thanks to beautiful imagery from Taylor Ingles Photography, let’s relive their day!

wedding invitation examples: two versions of invitations from the same product - envelope liner, ribbon, belly band - Leah E. Moss Designs

Seeing wedding invitation examples always helps bring a product to life! In today’s blog, I’m highlighting two couples who chose the exact same invitation from my semi-custom collection as their “base,” but ended up with wildly different results. Color palettes and varying bells and whistles transform the same starting point to vastly personalized end sets in these invitations — and it’s easy for you to do the same. Having versatility in an invitation that’s customizable is so important, so you can make sure it feels like your wedding!
