Have you fallen in love with the story of the Nutcracker? I have! It's just so beautifully elegant and it amazes me how it can tell such a moving story without words. Your invitations can do this for your wedding too. Invitations set the tone for your wedding because it's the first glimpse of your wedding your guests receive. When you mail them your custom designed invitations, that radiate your theme and personalities, they will rush to the refrigerator to hang them up!
This styled shoot was no different than the Nutcracker story because it offered the awe and wow factor that the Nutcracker has. Skeffington's Formal Wear dreamed up the vision of this modern nutcracker wedding. The style of this themed wedding was perfect thanks to all of these dedicated Iowa Wedding Professionals:

Invitations Inspiration
The invitation suite was inspired by the holiday ballet. I felt the light rose pink paired with a dark burgundy would radiate the ballet style with a clean and simple holiday look. The invitation, rsvp card, information card, and accommodation card were all enclosed by a dusy rose pocketfold wrapped with a muted metallic gold belly band and a clean white monogram closure. The suite was completed with a set of personalized placecards for each guest.
