Pretty Rose Paper Goods for your DIY Garden Wedding

Weddings and roses go hand in hand and my wedding was filled with them. They represent love, friendship, remembrance, passion, joy and so much more. Plus roses come in every color under the sun, so the opportunity for pretty colored invitations is endless. Take a look and marvel at this 18-piece wedding template collection that's now available to customize online, download and print.

It's a new take on a tried and true invitation that I call Garden Rose. This invitation has long been one of the most popular downloads here at Download & Print, and now you can coordinate your entire wedding paper goods with the pretty rose design, and you can change the color to match your wedding palette.

The design reminds me of an English country garden, so it would be perfect for your garden nuptials. But as roses are steeped in tradition, this design also fits in with a semi-formal wedding, particularly if you dress up the invitation with a pochette or backing card.

In honor of our new template bundle I've declared it 'rose week' here at D+P HQ, and I've got two rose-centric tutorials to go along with the bundle release.

For a spin on the wedding rose at your modern nuptials try super-sizing them. Giant roses however, don't have to go hand in hand with giant weddings. Just the opposite is true. Making your own giant paper roses is an economical way to add flowers to your wedding, and with the sheer scale of them, they are sure to be a talking point. Think photo booth backdrops, altar decoration, flower girls carrying one enormous bloom down the aisle. Grab your maids, a bottle of wine and get crafty.

For a super simple and inexpensive flower decoration try these hanging mason jar vases. Two stems fill the jar, which keeps the number of flowers needed to a minimum, yet when displayed in a group these jars are really eye-catching. These would be cute at a shabby chic or vintage rustic wedding.
