The Look of Luxury: Nashville Wedding Stationery & Invitation Trends
Monday, May 24, 2010
When you envision your wedding and you're picking your style, be sure to include your wedding stationery in that game plan. Your invitations are the first glimpse into your ultimate wedding vision. Is your wedding going to be formal? Casual? Country chic? Modern? Your guests see your invites way before they see the location and theme so start telling your extraordinary story right away! A great custom-designed is a great way to show off your couple personality.
One of our Nashville custom designers is Shannon O'Kelley, owner of Southall Eden Paperie. Shannon is a creative force whose work is sure to blow you away. (She designed our fabulous Sex and the City party program, which you will see Thursday. We're still swooning over it!)
Be it modern, classic, pop-art, fun and whimsical Southall Eden Paperie manages to capture the spirit of a couple's wedding vision on paper. I tapped into Shannon's know-how to find out first-hand the wedding invitation trends that are hot now. Here are some of her favorites (and now ours!)...
Earth-friendly papers: Eco-chic is cool, not to mention it fits perfectly with the "Anthropologie-esque" wedding craze. The photos will likely be an invitation on seeded paper that can be planted and grow into wild flowers, an ensemble made of kraft paper that is actually colored instead of just the standard brown, and/or an invitation made out of paper that is made of junk mail.
Wildflower/seeded recycled paper invitations are a wonderful way for your guests to remember your wedding day!
Lovely hues between blue and green: Teal, aqua, turquoise, and all their color wheel neighbors are in demand this season.
A simple teal is complemented by the rich reds, followed by an elegant peacock-inspirecd pocket invitation
Blue's such a beautiful color and every shade it comes in has such a different tone!
Line art: Brides are drawn to invitations with line art because they are elegantly simple and classy, and also because it has the vintage feel that is very popular right now.
So what did you think? Aren't those just so pretty? I love how this last one is printed on paper that looks like bark. It has such a wonderful, subtle pattern to is and I just it! So these are just a few of what Southall Eden does, I hope it's enough to whet your appetite for some great stationery.
If there are any Southall Eden brides out there we would love to see pictures of what you worked together to come up with! As for us, we'll keep bringing these trends and inspirational ideas to you

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
