This is a special Thursday because I have the pleasure of showing off Something Detailed‘s 2013 invitation collection! Aside from being one of Style Me Pretty’s 2012 Little Black Book Members, and a Wedding Wire 2013 Bride’s Choice Award winner, Something Detailed is constantly innovating her stationary and wowing us and brides with her gorgeous custom designs! Enjoy!

From Jennifer Faught (owner and designer):We are happy to announce our 2013 Wedding Invitation Suite Collection! The collection includes 12 of our favorite designs from the past and new designs for 2013. Each design offers a full suite of wedding invitation pieces – save the date, invitation, reply card, second enclosure, envelopes, place card, program, table numbers and envelope printing.

Each suite can be personalized by choosing one of the color shades offered, or customizing with your perfect wedding colors and/or font. Upgrades to make your wedding invitation extra special include, lux envelopes, lux paper, envelope liners, custom envelope printing or shimmery card stock.

You can get the first look at our 2013 Weddings Collection at our Etsy shop, or stop by Wedding 101 in Franklin, TN to see our Save the Date designs in person.

Your stationery can be just as important as the wedding venue, your beautiful dress, or even the floral decor. Your stationery is your guests first glimpse into what to expect at your wedding. Your paper goods can introduce a theme, colors, or even just an overall feel of what your wedding will be like. You want your guests to be excited and intrigued about you wedding and your stationery is a great way to do that.
