Damask Save the Date Postcards

I got my postcards from VistaPrint yesterday. I was so excited to open them up, but to my surprise... I was severely disappointed. The design that I had picked wasn't as crisp and colorful as I had hoped. It was actually really dull. So since their postcards are always free, I decided to expand my photoshop skills and come up with a design that would incorporate my damask fabric. This is the design I came up with and I'm so happy how it turned out. I'm hoping to use the damask bars on most of my stationary to keep the damask theme going.

Damask Stickers

I should be sending out my Save the Dates by the end of this month. I ordered 100 free postcards from VistaPrint and just chose one of their designs.

I probably should have done something a little more to carry out my damask theme, but everyone makes mistakes. In order to correct my error, I decided to look for damask stickers to seal my envelopes with. My web search brought me to Zazzle and that's where I modified one of their damask stickers to incorporate my colors. Now I don't feel too bad that I neglected my damask theme on our Save the Dates.

First Post

By the title of this blog, you can tell I'm a damask bride. If you don't know what a damask bride is, then I suggest you google "Damask Wedding". I fell in love with the damask theme after months of looking at wedding photos on the web. Here's the photo and blog that started my madness:I picked hot pink as my accent color and I'll incorporate that into my cenpieces. I plan on making my own damask table runners with the Michael Miller Dandy Damask fabric in black and white. That will be my first major DIY project.
