The results are in.. damask patterns in wedding invitation design and wedding decor are still very strong trends for 2010!  As the wedding season is now upon us, our damask wedding invitation suite has been our top seller, proving that damask is here to stay  That’s something i certainly have no complaints about it since i totally *love* damask decor and wedding invitations.

Damask Wedding Invitation in Hot Pink and Black

There is something about damask that exudes a tasteful elegance and a nostalgia for vintage and things of past.  At the same time it is also very modern, making this the perfect choice for wedding invitations.  The damask wedding invitations we offer at Modern Girl Invitations come with a variety of matching collection items such as reception cards, directions cards, save the dates, thank yous, and place cards.

Damask Wedding Invitation Suite

The great thing about this invitation set is that we can do it any pretty much any color you’d like!  We have some really beautiful color combinations shown on the website, but if you don’t see what you want, we’ll customize it for you free of charge.  Below are just a few of my favorite color combinations.

Damask Wedding Invitations in Green and Black

Black and White Damask Wedding Invitations

Damask Wedding Invitations in Tangerine

Damask Wedding Invitations in Golden Yellow

I just can’t get enough of the yellow and orange versions.  The yellow damask invite has really been popular this year, I think because it is so tasteful and elegant, and the sunny yellow is so perfect for a spring wedding.

Any of the invitations shown above can be ordered from Modern Girl Invitations and the really amazing part is that they’re totally affordable.  For 100 invitations and response cards professionally printed on our luxuriously thick 100lb/14pt cardstock the cost is only $269, which includes free shipping!  Package discounts are available as well when you add enclosures to your invitations.

Damask can be the perfect accent for any wedding and I’m sure we’ll be seeing even more of it in the future

Hello everyone.  This the first post of the Modern Bride Guide.  I should probably introduce myself.  My name is Autumn, and I’ve been sucked into the wonderful world of weddings.

Me, on my wedding day!

It didn’t start in my childhood.  I wasn’t one of those girls who dreamt about their fantasy wedding since the age of six.  I got sucked in at a later date and for different reasons.

It started with a photography obsession which began at age twelve.  I love photography (portrait photography specifically) and photographed my first wedding when I was 19.  I am also crazed over printing presses, design programs, and fonts.  Photographing brides, stationery, details, decor, and design?  Now, that puts me over the top.

It was when I got engaged that I realized a wedding is where all my favorite things got tied together.  Yes, I wanted to marry my husband who I love dearly, but damn did I love planning my wedding!  I decided to drop my conventional day job (enginerding) and step into the wonderful world of weddings.  I now own Modern Girl Invitations, an online boutique that sells modern wedding invitations and stationery.

With the Modern Bride Guide I plan on adding one more fun element to my mix of wedding activities, as well as providing some good resources for all you modern brides out there along the way.  I hope you’ll come back and visit me again and listen to my musings.
