Origami

Origami is one of the biggest trends for Spring-Summer 2009. I had to do a little research for my Creative Director on origami yesterday. Look what I stumbled upon.

I had the privilege of meeting Inno Sotto through work. During one meeting, we talked about how brides are so tied down on the off-shoulder silhouette. I totally agree with him. Here's something that can make your dress more exciting.

For The Beach Bride

I find it interesting to be a beach bride but I'm really not a beach bride. So I'll just help you beach brides find ideas once in a while. Here's one. I don't know what this detail is exactly but it's gorgeous! It's light and easy enough to be worn at the beach but stunning enough to make a statement. Love it!

Frothy

Somebody had fun making petticoats. They're a lovely and fun detail you can have in your wedding dress. Warning: if you're a little heavy on the bottom, go easy on the petticoat. ;)

Calligraphy

I fell in love with calligraphy in college. I must've taken up at least 12 units of it in art school. I handwrote my invitations for my 18th birthday. I had black ink on my fingers all the time - just like Wynona Ryder in Little Women. Now I'm excited to do the calligraphy of our wedding invites. I found this in Hello Handmade and iloveit!!!

Grow Old With You

It's time to go mushy.

My grandparents are my couple-role-model. They've been married for almost 59 years and they are a picture of a simple, happy couple. My Lolo (Filipino for grandfather) once said, every night when he prays, he prays for my grandmother first, before everybody else. They're the best and I love them dearly.

This wedding invitation by SeeSaw Designs (http://seesawdesigns.blogspot.com/) reminds me of my grandparents.

This is indeed the cutest, most heart-warming wedding invitation I've ever seen. ;)

Graphics For Your Wedding Invitations

Here's a refreshing take on wedding invitations. If you're intending a less formal wedding, this would be a perfect invitation. It can instantly give your guests an idea that you'll have a nice, fun and sweat-free wedding.

I found this invite in Erin Jang's site of design and illustration. Erin Jang is a NY-based graphic artist.
