Lady in Red

If you are looking for a way to make a statement with your wedding, take a cue from the leading ladies of the Oscars and go red! In Chinese culture red is the color of happiness and prosperity and may be used to attract good luck. Perfect wishes for any wedding day.

Red All Over

There are so many great choices this year for holiday cards, I am going to have a hard time deciding which to order. One thing is for certain—it’s going to be red! Here are a few of my favorites…

Red and Gold Diva

I'm inspired by the rich colors this season, especially the red and gold pallette! This brilliant brocade from Crate and Barrel caught my eye and I had a vision of the perfect holiday party.

Silver, Scarlet, and Seriously on Sale

Now is the time to snap up ridiculous deals in every category on eInvite.com because it's the Holiday Sale until December 3rd. I adore the custom embossed personal stationery because it has a tactile appeal and looks rich, yet subtle. The lovely crisp slate grey Memo Card (top left) is only $14.93 for 100 flat notecards! The red Prestige Monogram Correspondence Card (bottom right) has eye-catching glamour for just $41.93 for 100 cards. Perfect personalized holiday gifts.

I am also loving the red modern holiday cards. Decorative Wishes (bottom left) is sexy for $74.24 for 100 on sale, and Happy Holiday (top right) is 100% recycled cotton with a luxurious texture and thickness for $117.00 for 100. For this card you can also change the ink color to a rich sap green or other color and pick whatever font you want with the online customization tools. You see a preview instantly too.

Finally, I have to pull out the Silver Shimmer Invitation (center), a double-layered folding panel wedding invitation that is modern and substantial - for just $212.63 for 100. This could work for a wedding with any color scheme that uses platinum accents. Red ink would look amazing for the inside text for a winter wedding too.
