We're loving these details that Chun Yee, founder of our London office, sent us of her brother's wedding! Having grown up in China & Taiwan (and being half Chinese), we love the idea of giving the traditional gold-and-red Chinese wedding palette a modern twist. Stephanie and Thomas did it to perfection! They used a folded, dual-language Cherry Blossom wedding invitation in lucky red and chocolate, and incorporated a traditional double happiness seal.
Thanks again to everyone for such a warm welcome here on Weddingbee PRO. I am having such a blast blogging and truly appreciate you taking the time to read.
“Inspired Ink” began as a weekly post on my personal blog last year. The idea is to take an image that inspired me the previous week and create a custom invitation based on that same image. One of my favorites from earlier this year was a little number I created after finding what I call “Suspended Orchids” on Karen Tran’s enchanting blog. I just loved the sparkle and shine she captured as the sunlight trickled through the glass spheres and felt compelled to capture the look on paper!
So each week I plan to continue my “Inspired Ink” tradition as an exclusive-to-Weddingbee PRO post! This week I chose an Edward Hopper painting titled “Le Bistro / The Wine Shop”, 1909. The mood captured here is what I find most striking; calm and serene. The Silvery blues, grays and a touch of sienna and scarlet (more visible in person) come together beautifully in this canvas I had the pleasure of viewing in person last week at The Whitney.

This is an invite I created for a friend’s bridal shower. We threw her a mid day brunch on a farm. This is to tap into her nostalgic country girl! We had horseshoes, bocce ball, and hail-bails with quilts thrown on them around the fire pit for when she opens her gifts.
The invite is linen paper with a kraft paper envelope. All ink jet printed.
