From the moment I saw these invitations, it was love at first sight. A fabulous concept executed brilliantly and I mean, brilliantly. One of those that makes you say, "What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?" There are so many wedding invitation designers and sometimes, they all seem the same, but The Future Mrs. Darcy aka Kristen really sets herself apart. Each suite is based upon a famous couple. Kristen has created gorgeous, customizable invitations for each of the couples, including Harry & Sally from When Harry Met Sally, Noah and Allie from The Notebook and many more. They are perfection! Kristen has taken care of every detail, each of the suites features multiple pieces to suit your needs, including table numbers, escort cards, accommodations, etc.
First up, the Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart suite. LOVE the exaggerated ampersand. Gorgeous.
The Miss Bennet and Mr. Darcy suite was Kristen's own wedding invitation suite. This typeface is so elegant.
My personal favorite is the suite based on main characters in The Notebook, Allie and Noah. The use of photographs is BRILLIANT. I love full-color photos in my everyday design work, why didn't it occur to me to use them on a wedding invite?
You should really head on over to The Future Mrs. Darcy site and blog to view Kristen's other creations. I could have featured them all, seriously! I love Sandy and Danny {yep, from Grease!} and the soon-to-be-completed Rose and Jack {Titanic}. All of the suites are completely customizable and available for purchase on etsy.
Oh I just love Bogey & Bacall. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Allison! Thanks for all the kind words! And don't stress out too much on your own invites. I think I went through at least 30 other ideas before I settled on the now "Elizabeth + Darcy" but everything DOES come together in the end and twitching [eventually] subsides. ;)

I love all these ideas! The pictures used in the background for Allie and Noah is such a great idea. I'm going to have to go look at their site now!
