2. Sunset Marsh<\/span><\/h2>\n

A coastal wedding isn\u2019t only about the beach.\u00a0 Here in the Lowcountry, the marsh and rivers are probably an even bigger feature of the coastline than the ocean shoreline.\u00a0 This suite leaned into the greens of the marsh grasses and brought in a beautiful pale pink from a Charleston sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Turquoise Ocean Views<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a wedding in Florida, this couple leaned into the beautiful ocean blues by printing the whole suite on a pool blue paper color.\u00a0 The wording was letterpress in a dark green that matched the art deco style palms on the envelope liner.\u00a0 It\u2019s the perfect combination of timeless elegant wedding invitations with a little personality infused in.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wild Dunes Whimsy<\/span><\/h2>\n

For this summertime wedding at Wild Dunes, we leaned into a blue palette just like the one above, but with less green to suit the Atlantic Ocean here in the Lowcountry.\u00a0 A custom watercolor liner of the ocean view from the back of the venue tells guests exactly what to expect for this coastal wedding!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ritz<\/p>\n

5. The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island is renowned for a reason \u2013 the views and nature are spectacular, as is the service and venue itself.\u00a0 This design uses artwork of the venue, a pretty pale shimmery blue accent with the envelopes, and a subtle vellum wrap to bring out the coastal vibes.\u00a0 The color palette here especially sets the tone for elegant wedding invitations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ocean<\/p>\n

6. Amelia Island is a very special place, and the Ritz Carlton makes it even more of a treat.\u00a0 The oceanfront venue is drawn on the back of the invitation in a subtle white sketch on a dove gray backer.\u00a0 The invitation is letterpress in a soft gray.\u00a0 Everything flows perfectly from the save the date to the invitation.\u00a0 Everything being monochrome is another great way to ensure the end result is an elegant wedding invitation<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ritz<\/p>\n

7. Color!\u00a0 This beautiful suite for a wedding at Caledonia brings out the sunset marsh views, natural blues and sets it all off with a gorgeous watercolor map of the island.<\/span><\/p>\n
