The effective marriage of brown and blue

January 3, 2007 in Invitations with 3 Comments

Many of you know my feelings regarding the marriage of browns and blues. Kenzie Kate invitations may yet change my mind. While each of their unique designs can be customized to match your wedding colors, three of their samples feature pretty pairings of brown and blue that in no way offend my delicate color-related sensibilities. Even the web site’s description of each invitation sets my heart aglow…

It\'s like unwrapping a gift of love

The Vienna arrives in a carefully constructed box, sealed with an elaborate label created to match the intricate border of the invitation itself. A beautifully hand tied, mocha colored satin ribbon encircles the invitation, and once untied, reveals a silky, sage green linen envelope. The invitations themselves are printed in a matching cocoa brown and willow green on rich, creamy linen cardstock.

Here we have elegant simplicity

For our Seattle package, we’ve chosen a stylish combination of coffee brown and prussian blue. Each piece features the classic charm of antique floral etchings. Complimenting the invitation is a coordinating reply set and enclosure card, bundled together with a matching coffee brown satin ribbon.

Embellished, but not overdone

Reminisent of the cool breezes and rustling leaves of tropical Hawaii, this invitation is sure to entice guests to any destination wedding, be it a tropical isle, a botanical garden, or your own back yard. Each set includes an invitation card, printed in cool, leafy greens and dark browns on our bright textured stock.

To help flustered brides- and grooms-to-be compose their invitations, Kenzie Kate offers a range of invitation formats that take into account that it’s not always the bride’s parents who are ponying up the dough. And speaking of dough, these gorgeous invitations are best drooled over by those who have plenty of the aforementioned resource to devote to their nuptials.

    this post could not come at a better time! my fiance has expressed an enthusiastic interest in the invitations being blue and brown. i loved the same invitation color scheme, so we went to work with our consultant to achieve the look we wanted. unfortunately, the vision we had for our wedding encompassing the colors orange and magenta with touches of brownish bronze and turqoise seemed out of our reach because everyone thought the brown and blue would be too much. i love the vienna collection above and it’s a great way to use the colors we liked for the invitations without overdosing on color!

    Yay, Julie! I’m so pleased I could be of help :-) The Vienna is awesome because the color isn’t in-your-face like some other invitations.

    Brown and blue combination looks so fine, especially with that wedding invitation above. In my wedding, yellow and blue will be my motiff since yellow has always been my favorite color.
