Featured Vendor Friday: Invitation Consultants

We’ve had the pleasure to recently “meet” Brittany from Invitation Consultants through my favorite social media machine, Twitter.  Brittany then put us in touch with Allison De Meulder, CEO of Invitation Consultants who was gracious enough to take part in today’s Featured Vendor Friday blog post.  Be sure to check out Invitation Consultants website.  They’re very excited about their new line of wedding invitations, Preston Bailey for Invitation Consultants!

What inspired you to start your company?

A love of paper. I was working on my MBA when I met another student who had a stationery business on the side. She focused only on stationery, but I soon found that my interest was invitations. I probably knew this all along because I was always so involved in choosing my birthday invitations as a child.

What wedding trends are you currently loving?

Color, vibrance and risk. I love that brides and grooms are not afraid to mix bold colors together or even patterns. Really anything goes these days and we are embracing this freshness as a fun creative challenge and really thinking outside the box.

What wedding planning advice would you give to engaged couples?

Plan early. Don’t wait for the last minute because it only stresses you and your vendors out. Also follow your personal styles, don’t be swayed by what others want. Your wedding is a representation of you both.

What do you love most about your job?

I love seeing what our customers order, their invite choice and font and ink color choice as well. We get tons of ideas from the combinations our customers choose. The final product is like a gift and a reward to us!
