We know it's been said before, but we think it's worth sharing again...your wedding invitations can really help set the right tone for your entire celebration. Picture this: you're a wedding guest and you get a fun, colorful, playful invite in the mail. You'd probably be safe to make the assumption that the wedding will be a more relaxed, lighthearted fête. Open your mailbox to find a glam, gold letterpressed suite? This wedding will likely be more a formal affair. We think you can see where we're going with this, but what if you turn the whole idea around, allowing your wedding invitations to inspire many of your wedding design choices? We say that approach is a pretty solid concept! And there is no better place to start your invite browsing + design brainstorming than Minted!

Starting with that gorge intro image above, throughout this post you'll see 4 stunning suites and how they inspired some majorly beautiful wedding cakes! See how easy it would be to take things a few steps further and imagine how the other details to match these elements could fall into place?

So fun, right? Pop over to Minted to find the suites that speak to you - we even picked a few of our favorites below that we think would be great to use to inspire the design of your day! We bet you'll agree that it would not only be pretty easy, but a lot of fun, to base some wedding design choices off of the pretty paper goods you'll find over there!
