Wedding bells are ringing, and the excitement of planning your special day can be overwhelming. From choosing the perfect venue to picking out the right dress, there are countless decisions to make. But your wedding invitations should be a breeze. If you’re planning a garden-inspired soiree, read on to see how Chandler and Eric’s May wedding at Fearrington Village was elevated by their unique watercolor crest invitation suite. From their stunning venue to the personalized custom wax seal, let’s take a closer look to see how it unfolded.
The Watercolor Crest: A Touch of Elegance
One way to add a touch of elegance to a garden-inspired wedding invitation suite is through a watercolor crest. Chandler and Eric’s wedding is a perfect example of how this addition can elevate the entire suite. The crest not only adds a personal touch but also sets the tone for the event. The soft but earthy green watercolor shades mixed with the vibrant colors of the crest complimented each other nicely. These hues paired with the garden setting and floral design made for the foundation of an incredible suite.
But why stop at just invitations? The watercolor crest can be incorporated throughout your wedding’s décor from the programs to the place cards. This cohesive design element ties everything together and makes your wedding feel like a reflection of you as a couple. Chandler and Eric used theirs in a stunning welcome sign that let guests know they’d arrived!
With its breathtaking gardens and picturesque settings, Fearrington Village is the ideal venue for a garden-inspired wedding in North Carolina. In the following section, we’ll take a closer look at what makes Fearrington Village the perfect place to say “I do” for a mid-summer’s night dream wedding.
Fearrington Village: The Ideal Wedding Venue
With the watercolor crest as the centerpiece of the wedding invitations, you’ll want a venue that perfectly complements your theme. For Chandler and Eric, Fearrington Village was just that venue. Nestled in the heart of Chapel Hill North Carolina, Fearrington Village is a picturesque setting complete with lush gardens, rolling hills, and an unbelievable barn event space designed for unforgettable weddings. This venue is perfect whether you’re planning a springtime wedding surrounded by flowers or a cozy fall celebration. Fearrington offers a variety of locations with everything you need to bring your garden-inspired wedding to reality. We made sure to include an illustration of Fearrington Barn on their inner invitation envelope. This served as a little peek at the beauty their guests could expect to see when they arrived. Talk about setting the tone for a grand garden celebration!
Garden-Inspired Wedding Watercolor: A Beautiful Invitation Enhancement
The beauty of a garden-inspired wedding is the variety of ways that beauty can be incorporated into your invitation suite. Helping clients nail this down is one of my favorite parts of the job. For Chandler and Eric, a vellum wrap keeping all their invitation inserts together was the ideal canvas for a handpainted watercolor of Fearrington Village Gardens entry arch. This was not only an invitation to their wedding, but an invitation to open the gates of the garden itself. The illustration helps set the scene where the guests will soon walk along the path right into the ceremony space. We also used the trellis motif to create a beautiful pattern for the backs of certain cards as well. Visual pattern play is a great way to elevate your overall suite design!
Not only was the trellis arch entrance an inspiration for the watercolor illustration but also for the incredible envelopes that greeted Chandler and Eric’s guests at their mailboxes! For added dimension and extra texture, we embossed the trellis design by hand into each and every one of their outer envelopes and RSVP envelopes. A floral motif of greenery and vines growing through the trellis was printed perfectly to line up with the embossed design and create a truly extraordinary special touch.
Custom Wax Seal: A Personalized Finishing Touch
One way to add a personalized touch to your garden-inspired wedding invitation suite is through a custom wax seal. This classic touch adds an air of timeless sophistication to your invitations, while also showcasing your individuality as a couple. This monogram custom wax seal featured the same script font used in their watercolor wedding crest. You’ll notice the stunning light lilac shade perfectly complemented the floral accents throughout the suite.
A custom wax seal can feature your initials, monogram, or even a symbol that holds a special meaning. It’s a small detail that has a big impact and sets the tone for your wedding celebration.
In conclusion, Chandler and Eric’s garden-inspired wedding invitation suite perfectly captured the elegance and charm of their May wedding at the Gardens at Fearrington Village. The watercolor crest, custom wax seal, and thoughtfully chosen venue all played a role in creating a garden wedding that was truly unforgettable. If you’re planning your own dream wedding, consider incorporating a touch of whimsy with a garden-inspired invitation suite. As Chandler and Eric prove, it’s the little details that can make all the difference. So why not start planning today and create a day that will be remembered for years to come? I’d love to work with you to make your vision a reality – let’s chat!
