I have fond memories of craft days at school where we were all given a set of Crayola water color palettes and some thick white textured paper and told to make some variety of trite family portrait where everyone’s head is too big and girls and boys can only be determined by the addition of a skirt.
In fact, my mom still has mine from kindergarten framed and hanging in the bathroom. Maybe is the nostalgia of those homemade art projects long past, or the simply the softness of the colors as the delicately swirl together, one thing is certain, however; watercolor is definitely the new must have design element in paper.
This trend is great for weddings and events because of its versatility; it can be modern, romantic, or just down right fun! It’s perfect for destination/beach weddings as well as rustic/homespun themed events, and even baby showers! Here are some examples of my personal favorite new designs, including the absolutely stunning succulent and flower wedding suite above!
Super fun Southwest-Americana design by Pitbulls and Posies!
These would be perfect for a late summer or fall wedding!
Obsessed with these mod faceted invites from Spencer Studio. Perfect for a fun, modern wedding!
These pretties are from Oh My Deer and would be lovely for an outdoor/garden wedding!
Love is in the air? Adorable! And they scream destination wedding to me. And for the DIY’ers out there, this save the date tutorial from Oh So Beautiful Paper gives you the run down on how to make your own!
