Rogue Bride sent out her Save the Dates and lo and behold, I got one! Thanks Rogue! She’s a classy lady. Basically, I offered to do her Day-of coordination and the sweetie pie in turn sent me real-deal Save the Dates – like I’m a real guest or something. Awwww. Of course, I have to blog about it. So I called Rogue and asked her to share her tips.


OMG I Found the Motherlode
Aptly named the Graphics Fairy, this blog has hundreds of free, downloadable vintage prints. Karen, the woman behind this extraordinary blog scans and published vintage graphics that are in the public domain, meaning they were produced before 1923. There are so many lovely botanical and Audubon inspired prints. Perfect for invitations, table numbers and other DIY paper elements at a woodsy, outdoor wedding!

Is there really such a thing as rustic mid-modern? I wouldn’t have believed so before I saw this “Bride + Groom” sign with sweet homemade lettering tied with ribbon hanging from branches. Brilliant! Steal this idea mountain brides!

I spy with my little eye some sweet, whimsical, woodland goodness. I spotted these delights over on MaeMae Paperie. They remind my of a very important fact in Mountain wedding style: not everything has to be pinecones and barn wood. These lovely invitations evoke a snuggly, whimsical feeling. Combined with the foliage and green and brown color palette, they'd be perfect for a camp wedding.

Ajalon Printing and Design Review
This post has been such a long time in coming. A while back, I "liked" Invitations by Ajalon on Facebook, and then tweeted about it. As happens online, that started a conversation between Ajalon and me about the perfect letterpress designs for mountain brides and culminated a gorgeous sample pack being sent my way. Thank you Ajalon!!!
