Preston Bailey Wedding Invitations | Let Color Inspire Your Wedding Story

We are on cloud nine at Invitation Consultants and it's all due to the fabulous new wedding invitations created and inspired by Preston Bailey!

An internationally renown event designer who has crafted beautiful events for so many A-list clients, Preston takes ordinary to extraordinary with his sumptuous and theatrical "art installations."

The purpose of these invitations is to allow the flowers to inspire your wedding and let the colors and bountiful centerpieces act as the basis for your wedding story. For those who dream in color (as I have always done), let these exquisite designs expand your imagination and help guide you through choosing the details of your wedding. We've taken four invitations and built a colorful wedding story around them. Let's take a peek!

The elegant 'Held Dearly' wedding invitation features a green floral background with multiple shades of sages and pops of periwinkle. Green can be translated so many ways from energetic and crisp, to soothing and natural. It is a symbol for growth and renewal, the perfect inspiration as you begin your new life together. Colorful candies, beautiful jewels, and a tropically modern cake are all ideas that we pulled from this wedding invitation.

The whimsical nature of Preston's 'Signature Sweetness' invitation shimmers and blossoms as every bride should do on her special day. She must feel royally special. Purple can be soft and feminine, or bold and noble. It is a color for all seasons - use lavenders for Spring and Summer and deep eggplants and fuchsias for Fall and Winter. We've paired this lovely invite with an extravagant tablescape and chic purple heels.

The sunny 'Sunflower Fantasy' invitation is vibrant and optimistic. You feel instant happiness from these sunflowers and you can't help but fall in love with the modern design. It's clean and refreshing, warm and pure. Parasols, coordinated tie+bout, and zingy lemon-tinis exude cheerfulness on your wedding day.

'Rose Bloom' is a romantic choice of invitation for the elegant bride and groom. It's sheer and simple aesthetic allows the over-sized flower to truly tell a love story. Creamy corals, espressos, pinks, and creams are all seamlessly represented in this unique design. Neapolitan ice cream and a stylishly-sweet creamy gown with coordinating brown sash make your heart skip a beat.

It is easy to see how the lavish and sophisticated designs of Preston Bailey inspired fabulous invitations. Planning a wedding is simple if you have a core idea. Choose your invitations first and let them create a statement for your wedding. It's the first glimpse your guests have at the style of your wedding. With these invitations, the first page of your wedding story will take you all the way to happily ever after. The End.

Introducing the Launch of Preston Bailey Wedding Invitations

A few months ago we had the pleasure of meeting with Preston Bailey, the amazing and fabulous event designer. We exchanged many ideas about color, typography, brides and grooms and about how we can create a line of wedding invitations that are beautiful. We want to inspire the bride and groom with flowers. And we wish that these floral arrangements and designs created by Preston will be a source for inspiration in their wedding's centerpieces and room decor.

Preston is well known for his outstanding event design and focus on floral inspirations. The celebrations he designs range from Sweet 16's to weddings for celebrities and royalty. Today, October 15th we are launching a sampling of the line. We are so excited that after months of designing, they are now available for sale. Additional designs will be added throughout the fall of 2009. So check back often as we will certainly show more of these fabulous designs on the blog.

Bubbly Magic {A Champagne Brunch Wedding}

Over the past few weeks, we've had our head's in the clouds, just giddy over our recent partnership with Preston Bailey. We've all spent a lot of time getting acquainted with Preston's work (i.e. looking at gorgeous floral arrangements and extraordinary event design day in and day out). Looking at all his images has gotten me in such a romantic and flowery mood. The images vary- from his winter work to his seasonal fall tablescapes with tons of golden orange leaves, but my favorites are the over-the-top floral arrangements with romantic pink blooms. They've inspired this post, with colors I think are perfect for a champagne brunch wedding reception.

Featured above:

• A gorgeous pink dupioni silk ring bearer pillow from Etsy seller 5eizen. I love the billowy flower and the pillow base in monochromatic shades. It's so subtle but pretty.

• An archway designed by Preston Bailey and featured on InStyle weddings. The purple and pink color scheme is perfect for a late morning or early afternoon ceremony.

• Modern Sparkle in Pearl from Invitation Consultants. I can't show you Preston's designs yet (stayed tuned...) but this one is very pretty for a wedding brunch.

• Zooey Deschanel in Erin Fetherston. My favorite actress wearing an adorable dress by one of my favorite designers. The petal skirting is perfect for a sun filled wedding.

• Sofia Coppola Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine. This wine is so refreshing, fruity, and sparkly. It is perfect for the early afternoon and comes in wrapped in pink cellophane. It would make a gorgeous addition to any tablescape.

• And, a color scheme of deep mocha, champagne yellow, and pink!
