Stampede wedding inspiration

The Calgary Stampede turned 100 years old this year! For those of you who don't know, the Calgary Stampede is known as one of the hottest party spots in the world. For 10 days, the entire city of Calgary pretty much shuts down as people celebrate and get their country on, and people travel from all over the world to take in all the festivities. To celebrate the Stampede's 100th anniversary, we've put together a little country wedding inspiration that would fit in with the Stampede's Western theme. For more country wedding inspiration ideas, check out our board on Pinterest.

Erin & Donovan's DIY yellow and turquoise stationery suite

Glass Slipper Designs recently announced a new DIY invitation option for those couples who are looking to save a little bit of money on their invitation suites while still getting the "custom" look of wedding invitations. Erin and Donovan approached me about this option, and I was happy to create a custom design and step-by-step instructions for them so they could create their ideal wedding stationery suite. 


I loved their wedding colour combination - turquoise and yellow. The colours really pop, and because they are getting married at the Calgary Zoo, we decided to go ahead with some funky floral images for their stationery. I created a custom gatefold invitation design for them, accommodation insert, response card, table numbers and a program design.


Erin and Donovan were really happy with the design I came up with, and they were a joy to work with! I wish them all the best for the wedding and a happy marriage. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about my custom DIY option, contact me at glassslipperdesignscalgary@gmail.com or view the DIY option brochure on my website.

Sneak peek: Amanda & Cory's gold and eggplant pocketfold invitations

I have a wedding invitation sneak peek to show you today! Amanda and Cory are getting married in July at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel and wanted to create classy, elegant stationery to match their stunning venue. Using colours found in the room, they decided on going with a gold pocketfold invitation with eggplant and cream accent colours. A classic, swirled stamp was used on the inside of the invitation and on the RSVP card, and an elegant monogram adorns the front of the invite. I can't wait to share the samples with this wonderful couple and promise to post more pictures once they've seen them and have made a final decision on which design they want to go with.
