We love our Nasher Sculpture Garden micro weddings so much! When the venue comes together with the colors, decor, and florals that embody the couple’s essence, we love to have it match the invitations in sweet harmony! Check out these beautifully classic wedding invites that have some minimalistic artistic flare to them. Just like Rachel and Wes’ love, one doesn’t need much more to be swept off your feet at this joyous celebration!

When you think of a micro wedding in southern colorful charm, think of April weddings at Woodbine Mansion! The outstanding floral designs bring out the lush greenery that surrounds the beautiful historic landmark. This mansion as a venue has it all from a stunning interior stairwell for brides to flow down, to whimsical wooden verandas that hold enchanting green vines to marry your true love under. We loved creating these formal yet chic invitation suites accenting the beautiful venue in a custom watercolor painting! The formal yet beautifully suave, minimalistic font of the invitations really stands perfectly with the beauty of the celebration’s decor through and through! Swoon at this whole wedding event! From ceremony to reception and to the grand finale, we couldn’t have dreamed of more of a trendsetter in the classic way that was Kaie and Ethan. Thank you for letting us make your stationery dreams come true!

Meet Emily Breinlinger, our lead designer here at Pink Champagne Designs!

Emily has been with Pink Champagne for over three years. Right off the bat, Emily’s artistic talents paired perfectly with our established design style, so we knew she was going to be a perfect fit. Her creative nature and amazing personality are irreplaceable in our eyes, and her strong work ethic made her progression to our team’s lead designer role a no-brainer!

Get to know Emily

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

Hello readers! Growing up in central New York (go Bills!), my house was always filled with art and the sounds of Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. Naturally, I studied graphic design in college, following in the footsteps of my artistic brother and dad, and discovered my love of typography.

In April 2021, I moved to south Georgia with my husband and 2 cats, Stewie and April (and recently added a rambunctious pup to the mix). When I'm not designing beautiful wedding stationery, I am either reading, doing yoga, or planning my next trip/adventure.

How did you get started with invitation design?

In college, I knew I loved the world of typography. But it wasn't until after I graduated that my mom sent me an Indeed job listing (as moms do) for a stationery design position. Long story short, I didn't get that job, but it sparked a passion in me and I knew I wanted to continue down that road. Soon after, I found Pink Champagne Designs in 2019 and never looked back! Everything I have learned about wedding stationery, I have learned here through working with this fabulous team and our amazing clients.

What design vibe are you loving right now?

Lately I've been loving bright colors paired with watercolor elements, especially dainty watercolor wildflowers. Elegant garden party vibes with pops of fun color!!

What do you like to know about a client's invitation vision before you start a design?

Two of the most important pieces of information that help me with starting a design are 1) a solid color palette and 2) a general description of your wedding style. Personally, I think 2-4 colors is just the right amount. Enough color to add some visual interest and tie in with your unique wedding palette, without being overwhelmed with too many colors. For general style descriptions, there are a lot of terms that can help me when mapping out the overall vibe of the stationery. Some examples are: art deco, garden party, sleek and modern, black tie traditional, bohemian, minimalistic, etc.

If you were designing your own invitations right now, what's one thing that you would include?

This is such a difficult question to answer... I love them all! If I had to choose one thing to include while designing my own invitations, I would include a venue illustration, either watercolor or sketched. No matter the wedding style, a venue illustration always looks amazing in any design, and it is such a special and unique touch that you can cherish forever.

XO, Emily B.

How absolutely stunning is this southern wedding for Emma and Sean! We loved designing their deeply romantic wedding invitations with neutral colors and deckled edges; once in our hands-they were so terribly lovely! The whole team of vendors did such an outstanding job of keeping in alignment in design over the whole event. From the chic fonts of the wedding signage blending in with the lush greenery decor of the St. Louis Venue to the beautiful cake and floral chandeliers, we drool over reveals like this!

Just another beautiful styled shoot at Woodbine Mansion to show off just how classic and swooning this venue is! We put together a timeless and minimalistic look with the dusted grey reception menus. We also debuted our glass custom showcase menus that we find dazzling! Catching the florals and bright light of the venue in the reflection of these boutique reception handheld creations is stunning and gives a formal vibe to the chicness that is about to dawn upon you in the reception hall!

Let’s talk about themed weddings! Can you imagine off the top of your head a Texas, Baseball themed wedding could look formal and classic? We can now cue to the most gorgeous baseball wedding ever that took place in Houston at the Boxwood Manor. We designed these simple yet elegant garden party invitations with minimal and modern appeal. The beautiful venue was custom-made into a beautiful illustration to garnish the reception card- we love it! We were able to make a few other custom items for these two; We made a life-sized cut-out of the TCU mascot frog as well as custom watercolors of their pup and a quidditch ball for the couple’s signature bar sign, an intimate choice to reflect their personalities, life, and love! Thanks again for letting us help make this happen!

It doesn’t take much to create beauty amongst beauty when it comes to being in love and celebrating it at the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas! For every bride who dreams of a simple and intimate wedding with Southern Charm draped all around, please consider this most beautiful venue for your big day! We love doing custom artwork of their signature cocktails and adding personal stationery touches to your receptions with menus. Christian and Riley’s intimate ceremony was so sweet and lush with love! We were featured on The White Wren as well, thanks again y’all!

We love coming together with other talented vendors to make a dream-styled wedding shoot! Pink Champagne Designs was lucky enough to work with the team at Fleurish Events to be part of this New York Wedding Editorial, and oh, do we love how every shot came out! We featured everything from our custom envelope liners, to deckled-edged invites, wax seals that pop on all the earth-toned stationery, and beautiful custom watercolor of the landscape of the unique wedding.
