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. 

What are your favorite beach wedding colors?

Happy Friday. We’ve got mint on the mind today. What’s to love about a mint-inspired wedding? To name a few: refreshing, cool, modern, soft, airy.

How would you describe it?

We dressed up our Save the Dates and Wedding Invitation with the very hot and on-trend mint {celadon} and paired it with other spring favorites. Which is your favorite?

Mint + Coral + ikat = energetic, trendy and fun.

“Bohemian iKat”: Save the Date Magnet

Mint + Butter + vines= soft, feminine & springy.

“Butterfly Blossoms”: Save the Date Magnet

Mint + Winter White + roses= sophisticated, timeless & poised.

“Vintage Applique”: Wedding Invitation & Guest Information Card

Your Wedding. Your Way. Play with any colors you want on any design using Design Studio–our online personalization tool. Have fun playing …

Happy Friday Everyone. Have a terrific weekend!

It’s Color Monday and your umbrella term for the day is: Rainbow Wedding. Everybody loves rainbows and since weddings are all about color and personalization–here’s inspiration to create an amazing, color-ific Save the Date.

Perfect for spring or summer weddings, be inspired to have your favorite rainbow of colors revealed across every aspect of your wedding–espeically your stationery. Did you know that at MagnetStreet, you can have any color{s} you want within your design?

To illustrate …

I’ve not only changed the background color and accent color but I’ve used Design Studio {our online personalization tool} to change the color of each letter! Can you imagine the possibilities? Whether you’re going for the whole rainbow spectrum or just a few colors, you can be confident that you can get your colors exactly the way you want them.

Extreme personalization!

Anyone inspired to use a rainbow of colors?
