Mexican Papel Picado Wedding Invitation

As a graphic designer, I love working on invitations with true inspiration! This one was inspired by the bride's Mexican heritage and her lovely lace wedding gown.

At our consultation, she mentioned including papel picado banners at her wedding and wanted that image to set the tone. I designed the banner with her wedding date hidden within each panel. To incorporate her heritage even more, we included Spanish on the enclosure cards. For the seal, we used the appropriate "Amor". And to bring in her wedding dress design, I created a lace image on the enclosure cards. By using the lace in the bride's colors, we stayed true to the Mexican theme.

For the envelope liners, we purchased inexpensive doilies to give the envelopes that papel picado look without the cost of a custom die-cut liner.

Purple passion

I definitely see a trend lately, and it's purple, purple, purple! And that's okay with me because it's my favorite color. Melissa wanted lots of bright purple with an accent of pink. Too much purple? Nah!
