Blue and White "French Country"

There is a hot new color trend sweeping through retail, I have seen it in many stores and adorning the latest home fashions... Pillows, quilts, dinner ware etc. Even certain clothing has trended this way. The colors blue and white but more importantly dark blue and white. Dark blue and white create a striking look. I decided I wanted to design an invitation in a blue and white but not go the nautical route or a classy-plain look. To me blue and white reminds me the most of "Country" or "French Country" toile patterns, checks and flowers. I used a round poppyish looking flower that is not so detailed in like a toile print would be. I also wanted to incorporate a check pattern that reminds of me of a table cloth that would be set on a table underneath a tree out in a field or deep at the end of a backyard. Below is what was created. The wedding is in Galena at a home that can be rented and allows for weddings and has vast acreage which ties into my checkered pattern idea. This is an invitation set but could be paired nicely with a pocket fold if you were having your wedding where guests would need to travel. The pocket fold could include all the travel info and festivities that are going to be going around before and after the wedding! So take a look and as always if blue and white are not your thing it can always be changed to suit your color needs, like black and white, black, white and a deep red or even black, white and yellow.
