50s Style Wedding Invitations

If you're planning a 50s themed wedding and are anything like me, you'll want to set the scene right from the word go.

You might want to have a go at making your own invitations if you have an eye for design. However, if you are not that way inclined, there are plenty of talented designers out there to lend a helping hand!

Whether you're taking the DIY route or delegating, here's some of the coolest retro wedding invitations around...

I just love this fabulously retro invitation designed by Heather Ackley.



This one's for all you polkadot brides, the colours are just yummy! It's designed by Ceci New York and now available as part of their ready to order collection.

Invitations: TearDrop Weddings

I had to share this post from Green Wedding Shoes. I can get over these invites from TearDrop Weddings. I'm in love with these! They are so unique!

Green Wedding Shoes Snippet: When designing her invitations, Holly thinks of the "real" bride and groom and transforms a blank sheet of paper into an original piece of artwork that tells a love story of very original couple. She wants each of her designs to uniquely capture each couple. "We believe that a wedding is a time of joy, and that is the feeling we want our designs to evoke. We want guests to open their invitation and say "oh ya, this is totally Amy and Brian" We think of our designs as little pieces of artwork, that your guests will want to cherish forever."








Green Wedding Shoes Snippet: She can change the hair and facial features of the characters to look like the bride and groom, for a more personalized, custom look :) Brides can also change the type of font, color, and wording. She offers both letterpress and digital printing. View more of her work on her site - TearDrop Weddings.
