Save the Date Contest Finalists {Part 1}

I'm so excited to finally announce the finalists in the Save the Date contest from Delphine!  There were so many fabulous entries and it was really hard to narrow it down to just a few finalists.  Here are the first three finalists (in no particular order):

Larissa:  Design: San Francisco Tile;  Ink Colors: Mai Tai + Chocolate

We are having a sweet, simple, intimate and romantic brunch wedding at a historic mansion in the Boston area. We love the clean, simple lines of the San Francisco Tile, to match the simple elegance of our decor . . . and the touches of whimsy and humor which so well match our personalities and relationship. The Mai Tai and Chocolate inks would well match our color scheme of creamy peaches, pale pinks, and touches (or tastes!) of rich, chocolate brown.

Jeremy (a groom entry - yay!):   Design: Hibiscus;  Ink Colors: Mimosa or Freesia + Ciel or Robin's Egg

Our goal is a camp wedding that's as much family and friends reunion as it is wedding. With our two families (and our friends) so far apart, we want a small-medium group (80) weekend where everyone is spending time with everyone. We want to take advantage of the fire-y colors available in the wildflowers of New Hampshire and Vermont in July and feature yellows and oranges with some potential blues thrown in.

Daryl: Design: Zen;  Ink Colors: Robin's Egg + Chocolate

My better half (John) and I are planning on getting married on a private home near the ocean in lovely Key Largo, Florida on May 8, 2010.  I would say our wedding could be described as simple, laid-back, beach.  So what invitation could be more perfect than Zen with a starfish motif from the Delphine Wedding collection!
