It's a dreary day here and I admit that I've been feeling a bit uninspired lately. So I'm looking to all of you for some new inspiration...
Since the Simply Smashing blog was born, I've often posted photos that have inspired the design for a wedding invitation. The photo may be wedding-related or something else entirely -- a beautifully designed room, a perfectly-captured moment, a colorful and stylish outfit.
I enjoy the challenge of turning a single image into an invitation design. It's a great creative exercise and this is often how we create designs for our clients - by pulling a detail from the bride's gown or the reception location or a lovely bouquet.
So your mission is to seek out one image (not an inspiration board) that best captures the overall style and look that you would like to see for your wedding invitation and email that image, with a short description of why you chose it, to info@smashingcards.com by midnight on Friday, April 10. This can be any image, wedding-related or not, but please send the credit/source for the image in your email as well.
The winner will be selected by a respected panel of stylish judges and will be announced on Friday, April 17. The lucky winner will receive a FREE design package for your invitation suite, inspired by the image you sent. Once we have finalized your design, you can choose to have your invitations printed through our company with your selected print method and pay for just the printing costs, you can select your own local printer, or you can print them yourself. But the design for all of the components you need for your invitation suite will be on us.
Inspiration for a wedding is all around you. So go out and find that one image that really makes it all "click" for you and send it over to us asap... you just may find yourself with a FREE invitation design if you do!
I'm having a beach wedding w/the same colors in the picture from the Ariadress.com website. I love love love it!
