Wedding Inspiration Board Contest
July 24, 2009
I just love viewing and creating wedding inspiration boards, (or collages) like the one below, to see how different color combinations, styles and themes will look, don’t you?
If you also like to create inspiration boards, you’ll want to hear about this:
Abby over at StyleMePretty.com is hosting a Fashion Inspired Inspiration Board Contest in celebration of their brand new Look Book! The winner will receive a $250 shop card to Crate and Barrel! Who couldn’t use that?
But there’s more…
I’m adding my own twist to the contest. If the winning inspiration board contains a picture of an invitation by Joyful Heart Design, the winner will also receive a prize from me… 100 Custom Save the Date Postcards ($150 value) or $100 discount on any order of Pocket Wedding Invitation Sets.
You can use any photos of invitations by Joyful Heart Design that you find on this blog or on these websites:

Head on over to StyleMePretty.com to get the details on how to enter the contest.
Have fun and may the best board win!
P.S. If you don’t know how to make an inspiration board, try using Mosaic Maker. Or WeddingWire.com also has a tool you can use to create one.
Bold, Beautiful, Yet Modest Weddings
September 9, 2008
Just because you want to use a bold color in your wedding (like bright orange, hot pink or lime green) doesn’t mean the styles of your wedding gown and bride’s maid’s dresses have to be bold. Many brides today are opting for more modest gowns—ones that don’t expose too much back, shoulder or cleavage. Choosing to wear a more modest style does not mean your wedding has to be dull, however. Don’t be afraid to use lots of color in your dresses, flowers and decorations. How about hot pink dresses with modest cap sleeves and bright orange sashes. Or rich turquoise blue tablecloths with bright yellow and green centerpieces (try placing lemons and limes in clear glass bowls, like photo above from theknot.com, or cut them in half and use them as place card holders.)
Your wedding invitations, stationery and other accessories should reflect the same style as the overall style of your wedding, be it bold and colorful, elegant or soft and sweet. Can’t find an invitation that is available in your colors that matches your style or theme? I’ve heard the same complaint from many brides. That’s why I offer contemporary wedding invitations that are FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE. Any of my designs can be created in any color combination you can think up, with as much text as will fit on the page, in any font you like.
