Our editors discovered the inspiring world of {Kenzie Kate Invitations} today.  Take a peek at these sweet southern designs…

“Charlotte”  The unpretentious, easy charm of this invitation makes it ideal for an outdoor affair. The couple’s names are displayed under the shade of a huge oak tree, and all the coordinating pieces feature the same refreshing theme. Our color choice here is a cool shimmering blue paired with a rustic kraft paper envelope, then tied with natural jute twine. A coordinating kraft paper envelope completes the set. Other obvious color schemes would be deep ochre or green, but this style would be just as striking in gold and yellow for fall. Perfect for an elegant backyard affair or a wedding by the lake.

 

 

 

“Savannah” Perfectly charming. For the Savannah collection, we’ve chosen a color palette of sage green, navy blue and creamy white. The tri-panel invitation comes wrapped in a delicate satin picot edged ribbon, and unfolds to reveal an undulating background of ornate paisleys. A lush linen card printed in rich blues is overlayed to create depth and contrast. The postcard reply and matching enclosure cards are done in a creamy white linen to match. A coordinating silky linen envelope completes this enchanting set.  An easy, sophisticated design for casual or formal occasions, the Savannah emits class and charm.

 

 

 

“Aberdeen” (OK, not technically Southern, but who cares!?  These are GORGEOUS!) This suite is brimming with romance and old world charm.  Evocative of “The Flower of Scotland”, this whimsical invitation brings to mind the dramatic cliff tops and brambles of the Highland. Each invitation is mounted on our lavish textured card stock, and paired with a matching folder blanketed in flowering vines. We’ve chosen a palette of bronze and raspberry to compliment the theme, but any combination of pinks/reds and browns/greens would be perfect for this collection. Corresponding enclosures are protected inside the folder, while a stunning satin ribbon keeps everything secure. An elegant envelope completes the ensemble.

 

 

“New Orleans”  Covered with lush flowers and gorgeous prints, this suite reminds us of the beautiful front porches of New Orleans festooned with baskets of hanging flowering plants. Each set comes lithographed on heavy ivory linen and mounted on our double-ply card stock creating a rich, substantial invitation. We pair each invite with our coordinating reply set and reception card, all kept tidy in our colorful patterned enclosure folder and tied off with a matching satin ribbon. Ten percent of proceeds from the New Orleans go to the {Green Project}, a nonprofit organization with a mission to promote and encourage environment sustainability in New Orleans.

If you haven’t already read this life-changing book, your relationship is in for a wonderful renovation! Best selling author of {The Five Love Languages}, Dr. Gary Chapman, was so kind to give us an exclusive interview for the current issue. We have had such fabulous feedback from his feature. Dr. Chapman’s book publisher sent us this very kind note today…

Hi Lara~

I received the copy of the magazine – what a tremendous presentation! I enjoyed looking through the magazine and finding the article. As I was reading the article I felt I could “hear” Dr. Chapman answering your questions. You did a great job capturing his compassion and desire to see people succeed in marriage.

I shared SWS with my marketing team friends – they enjoyed looking at the magazine, especially Jenna who is in the process of planning her wedding for the fall. I hope we can work together again; it’s been a delightful experience.

Take care,
Janis
