Molly from Paisley Quill recently sent over these fabulous Save the Dates - and I'm loving the rustic design inspired by some of the more iconic aspects and spirit of New Mexico:
Molly says that the couple, Elizabeth and Paul, wanted a non-traditional design inspired by the natural beauty of New Mexico. Molly added the image of a sunset and some lavender (which apparently grows like weeds all over New Mexico!) and used a desert-inspired color palette for the design. They also incorporated some Native American basket weave patterns and designs into the Save the Date, since Elizabeth and Paul plan to include Native American traditions in their wedding ceremony.
The S/Ds were printed on kraft paper and packaged in glassine envelopes. Since most of Elizabeth and Paul's guests will be from outside of New Mexico, they decided to give the design a vintage travel-inspired twist by using vintage maps of New Mexico as address labels and completing the entire package with vintage stamps:
You can read more about these S/Ds over on the Paisley Quill blog right here. Thanks so much Molly!
