Once Upon A Time | A Fairy Tale Wedding Inspiration | A Closer Look At Lela New York's Box Luxury Invitations

Hi all! Today we wanted to share with you a closer look into the fairy-tale inspired luxury invitation designed by Lela New York!

When I was first asked to create the luxury invitations for a dinner party that would be inviting the top of the wedding industry, I knew it had to be unique in a big way. The theme we were going with was "Enchanted Forest" and the colors chosen were rich purples and fun golds and greens!
I wanted guests to be wowed when they opened up their luxurious boxed invites and want to come to this festive celebration. I sketched out some ideas first that included initial thoughts and colors. The finish product as you can see is pretty close. I decided to use a boxed invitation that the guests can later use as a keep sake and included a real mirror on the top lid that was screen printed with the words, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, the time has come to celebrate fall." It was a great line and would immediately lead the reader to want to read further and hinted at our fairy tale theme. The actual invitation card was printed on a gold paper and die-cut into an apple shape that spoke of the Snow White character and was later repeated in the decor at the dinner party. The end result was a luxury invitation that was screen printed in deep eggplant forest patterns and boxed in a lovely box that made an amazing intro to this great event!

NYC Real Wedding at The Plaza | Featuring Lela New York Luxury Wedding Invitations | Plus an Interview with the Bride

This is an absolutely beautiful NYC real wedding at The Plaza featuring a luxury wedding invitation designed by Lela New York. I am loving the gold, ivory and white color scheme seen in the invitations and throughout the wedding details. These hues create such an elegant and chic look. Be sure to check out their wedding cake...isn't it so pretty? Thanks to NY's Hechler Photographers for such great shots! Also, be sure to take a look at a conversation with the bride below!

L: So Alana, how did Stephen pop the question?
A: Christmas Morning at his parents home in Westchester.


L: Who were some of your vendors?
A: Photographer: Harold Hechler Photography

florist:Stefan Event Decor Floral Design
Cake: Sylvia Weinstock
Wedding Dress:Francesco Fino- Milano
Hair: Julien Farel Salon - Elvin Arvelo
Makeup: Georgio Fernandez - Lady Lash Salon, Delray Florida ( I flew him up)
Band: Hank Lane - Michael Hart Band


L: After all the stressful planning, what would you say was your favorite part of your wedding day?
A: We were going to have pictures before the church. So the photographers planned a special moment where he would see me for the first time. We had a moment just us.


L: Are there any other special moments you would like to share?
A: My husband and I took dance lessons for seven months before the wedding. So besides performing our first dance I changed half way through the reception and we performed a Tango for our guests. They were so surprised they did not even know it was me at first.
Another special moment was at the end when the band played the song New York, New York and my guests got in a circle and started doing an impromptu kick line with us in the middle. It was the perfect ending to a New York Fairy Tale Wedding.


L: Looking back upon all the months of planning and your wedding day, do you have any advice for future brides?
A: As much planning and prepping you do before hand you have to let everything go the day of. It will all work out. You need to spend your wedding day in the moment because it goes by so fast.

Leopard scupture necklace DIY

I couldn't stop thinking at Raspini's necklace. How could I make a similar one on a budget? One day the answer came into my mind: using a belt buckle! They come in various shapes and I chose this gold leopard to adorn my neck. I used a piece of fabric and a few beads to make the collar and then I added a closure!

La collana di Raspini è un vero capolavoro! Con un po' di ingegno e creatività si può realizzare una collana altrettanto imponente con una fibbia per cintura. Le fibbie per cintura sono disponibili in molte forme, io ho scelto questo leopardo dorato come centrale. Ho poi utilizzato un ritaglio di stoffa e una manciata di perle dorate per realizzare il resto della collana.

the belt buckle

I folded the piece of fabric

 

I inserted the fabric into the buckle and blocked it with metallic wire

 

I added the beads  

and the closure is the final touch!
