Happy Friday everyone!

Well, it’s finally happened…seven years and six kids later: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged! (As many of you are probably aware.) And although Jolie was first spotted with her ring on April 11th, rumors are fluttering that the two have been engaged for quite awhile. Custom-designed by Mr. Pitt himself, the engagement ring features a giant, sparkling diamond–weighing in at a colossal 16 carats.  Yowza!

So why now? Sources say that the couple’s clan of six kids (three biological, three adopted) have been the catalyst in their decision to finally tie the knot.

But let’s not focus on when or why they have decided to get married. Let’s focus on the future–and specifically: What will their Save the Date look like?

Yes, it’s time for another Celebrity Save the Date! Below I’ve selected three Save the Date designs that fit Brangelina’s style. Let me know what you think!

Seamless Charm

When it comes to fashion both on and off the red carpet, Angelina seems to favor that classic, all-black look. This design conveys that retro, black-and-white look that I’m sure she would love. The stripes give it a slightly modern edge, while the photo allows Brad and Angie to feature their favorite “editorial-style” family photo (taken by some famous photographer, of course).

 Sketched in Love

Since the power couple has six kids–and those children are rumored to have influenced their decision to marry–I could definitely see them using a multi-photo Save the Date like this one. Featuring a collage of four photos, this design would give them plenty of space to showcase all their beautiful children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, and Vivienne (whew!).

Timeless Style

The family of eight resides in New Orleans–a historic city that has personal meaning to them (especially Brad). If they get married in New Orleans, then this fleur-de-lis design would be a great way to complement their wedding city/theme.

Welcome to Color Monday–the day we change the look and feel of a few Save the Date and/or Wedding Invitation designs–simply by changing their colors! Grab your sunscreen … cause today, we’re heading to the beach!

You can always count on nature for beautiful color inspiration and the beach is a great place to start. That said, today starts a 3-part series for Color Mondays: beach weddings and the colors that might be associated with them.

We’re inspired by the ocean. Who can resist the beautiful blues, greens, and aquas? There’s a serenity that comes from the sound of the surf hitting the sand–evoked with those colors. It’s a place of peace yet it’s full of life, excitement and energy.

At MagnetStreet Weddings, we certainly have Beach Wedding Invitations if you’re having a specific beach-themed wedding. But, what if you’re not having a beach-themed wedding but you still want the peaceful, easy feeling of it?

No problem.

You can easily bring the beauty of the beach into your wedding without having a specific beach theme–simply by personalizing your invitations with the colors of the ocean.

Here are two original designs–personalized with the splendors from the beach. So fun! The look and feel is completely changed.

Moral of the post: look past the colors on any design. Because, they can be changed to suit your suite, theme or look in mind. We love the beach and we’ll see you next time for Part 2 of beach inspired Color Monday.
