Indian Wedding Stationary by Zoya Couture

Did I tell you guys what happened to me with my wedding invites?  True story : I went to India and ordered my invites there because everyone told me how fabulously gorgeous and inexpensive they would be.  Well, after about a zillion emails, I finally got them the way I wanted and had them printed.  It was a highly annoying process, but I was glad I was finally done and awaited their arrival. After about two weeks of me panicking over my invites being late I found out that they were stuck in customs!  Apparently, because there were so many boxes of invitations, customs in NYC put a stop on them and I had to pay another $300 bucks to get them released. Beautiful yes, inexpensive absolutely not! 

It was a highly irritating process, so I always recommend going with a state side invitation vendor like, ZOYA Couture.  ZOYA will customize anything your heart desires from modern to traditional or something in-between!

Fantastic featured weddings coming up tomorrow….see you then!

4 Hot Invitation Ideas

I was first introduced to ZOYA Couture through the insane destination Indian wedding, by Number 29 Events.  What I love, love, love about Zoya is that they will handle all, and I mean ALL, of your wedding stationary. From table cards to ceremony programs, I am sure that you will fall madly in love with their Indian designs like I have.

    

From Zoya : Arti Anand has loved art and design for as long as she can remember. Transitioning from web to print work in 2008, she started ZOYA Couture to address the under-served South Asian bridal market in search of unique stationery that fuses their rich culture with their chic, modern lifestyle. With a passion for fine materials and perfect presentation, she works exclusively on Italian papers and has introduced specialized techniques including wood engraving, foil printing, laser burning, and laser cutting. While her studio is located in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, she is proud to work with some of the most creative brides around the nation!

A good belt is my secret weapon to any outfit. It adds a dash of elegance to anything you wear, leaving you looking eternally stylish.  Well, the same thoughts apply beautifully to invitations. A contrast ribbon, or even a matching one, adds a dimension of class that is timeless and never, ever a fad.

  

I especially love adding ribbons to thank you cards.  What better way to express your gratitude than to have your words look like a gift.  You can find beautiful ribbon in Dehli’s Khan market, or online right here.

I am a little more that a bit particular when it comes to wedding invitations. Some people say they “just end up in the trash…” however, I am part of the school of thought that fervently believe that your wedding invitation sets the tone of your celebration.  Indian weddings are some of the most formal events I attend, and nothing screams sophistication and black tie more than putting your invitation in a box, like these by Alia Designs.

  

Already ordered your invites in India with envelopes?  Not to worry, these adorable (and affordable!) boxes from Paper Source, come in tons of beautiful Indian-y colors to choose from. Like, curry! I am sure you will have no problem finding one that makes your invitations look EXTRA smashing.

Couture Indian Wedding Invitations by Alia Designs

When it comes to wedding correspondence, there are invitations, and there are invitations.  One of my latest, favorite, finds is the couture wedding invitation company, Alia Designs.  Alia Designs are the first to introduce fashion forward invitations with delicate details and elegant designs. They create custom three dimensional invitations made of exotic materials from around the world that go waaaay beyond paper.  These classic invitations, are never trendy, yet add a unique, fresh style to your Indian wedding. Started by two sisters with a passion for invitation design, and a challenge to create a family wedding invitation I think that you will quickly agree, Alia Designs puts the luxury in Indian wedding invitations.

Alia Designs has so many great designs, that it is impossible for me to choose a favorite, so I narrowed it down to three.  I absolutely adore their sophisticated floral detail invites.  A hands down favorite for the classic bride, this invitation has a quiet elegance to it. Also, high at the top of my favorites list, are these beach themed invitations.  So many times, shells and starfish can look cheesy and borderline tacky on an invitation, but with Alia Designs in charge of your beach themed Indian wedding invite, the results are pure class. I am also obsessed with this rose petal pouch save the date.  What better way to announce your wedding celebration, than with a splash of romance!

 

Why just announce your wedding, when you can express your personal style to reflect the importance of your milestone celebration? Alia Designs are the perfect fit for any Maharani’s wedding! I would love to know, which is your favorite?
