My Warm Autumn Leaves Save the Date card is very warm and inviting,
featuring a lovely array of fall leaves in rich autumn colors of burgundy,
orange and brown on a golden sunshine background.
Perfect for a traditional autumn wedding.
The Sassy Sunbursts Save the Date card is for those who want a modern fall wedding
design that is clearly Autumn without the typical fall leaves,
pumpkins or other common autumn icons.
The Circles ‘n’ Stripes Save the Date card design can be customized
with any color scheme. However, this fall color scheme of maroon,
squash, chocolate brown and champagne is one of my favorites.
These Save the Date Cards can all be customized with your own
photo and by your choice of fonts, font colors and design colors.

Unique Fall Wedding Invitations in Burgundy and Orange
July 31, 2009

Are you looking for unique fall wedding invitations with a modern design…
with something other than the traditional fall leaf or pumpkin icons?
My “Sassy Sunburst” design was created with you in mind. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on save the date cards as well as on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception.
At Joyful Heart Design, we give you lots of options to customize and personalize your invitations to make them uniquely yours. For instance, look how different the invitation can look just by changing the color of the pocketfolder.

Pair the invite with a Cranberry Red or Burgundy pocketfolder for a very rich, almost regal look. Add an orange mat (invite backing layer) to accent the names printed in orange text.

The Copper metallic pocketfolder adds a warm glow to the invite. This color combo would go great with a rustic, outdoor theme as well as with a glamorous theme that incorporated lots of shimmery metals, like gold, bronze and copper.
Changing the fonts used can also dramatically change the mood and style of the invitation.

For a more formal, very elegant look, pair the autumn invite with the Champagne metallic pocketfolder, a Tuscany Sun (burnt orange) mat, and a satin burgundy ribbon.

You can also add further customization to the invite by adding embellishments like ribbons, seals, jewels or crystals.
This Sassy Sunburst Pocket Wedding Invitation matches the Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card design that I blogged about earlier.

New Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card Design
July 17, 2009
I created this new Autumn Sunburst Save the Date card and I’d like your feedback on it. It is not for sale… yet. I entered it in the Seasonal Save the Date design challenge at minted.com. If it wins or is one of the top designs, then it will be for sale on minted.com.
I used deep jeweltones to give this contemporary card an autumn feel even without the typical fall leaf or pumpkin icons. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on the wedding invitations and on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception.
So… if you like it and would like to be able to purchase it, then please go to minted.com and rate it. (5 means you love it!)
While you are at minted.com, take a look at all the awesome designs submitted for the challenge and rate some others as well. (If you only rate one or two cards, then they throw those scores out.)

Joyful Heart Design introduced some new designs of pocketfold wedding invitations at the show and they were a big hit. My new line of Black & White with a splash of color consists of designs featuring 5 different black and white damask patterns and also a black & white zebra print. All of the new designs include a small amount of color to make a classic, yet trendy design. Check my online boutique often as I will be adding the new designs soon. And the samples will be available for purchase in my Etsy shop.
The Mod Stripes and Mod Circles pocketfold wedding invitation designs continue to be very popular.

I also presented my Save the Date cards, wedding programs and bridal shower invitations.
