Meet Lindsey Luxa of Dragonfly Custom Design

I’m so excited to introduce the creative artist behind the beautiful Alice in Wonderland Invitation Suite. Lindsey Luxa of Dragonfly Custom Design is just fabulous and totally puts her heart into every project as is evident from these pictures. It’s no wonder she is one of the most sought after and best out there. The former entomologist (cute . . . the name of her company starts with Dragonfly) luckily for us found her way to creating couture invitations. I love couture. Smile. So I love Linz.

What inspired you when creating the invitation suite for Luxe Fête’s Alice in Wonderland Photo Shoot?

I was inspired by the stills from the movie, specifically those featuring the coloration of the Mad Hatter and the Tea Party. I loved the vegetation as well and tried to incorporate natural and organic looking elements into the entire suite (twine, natural fiber paper). The use of clocks, tea party elements and whimsical but elegant fonts really made the entire set cohesive.

What’s the big deal about having super nice invitations?

For a truly outstanding and posh event, an outstanding and unique invitation is paramount. Your invitation sets the stage for the entire event and will be your guest’s first impression. It speaks to your taste, style and what is to come. What’s more, the invitation is the one thing your guests will have to remember the event by. Why not make sure it counts! Many brides choose to do over-the-top invitations as gifts as opposed to wedding favors.

What are some of the trends you are seeing in the invitation world?

I am finding that brides are focusing more on invitations that make a statement. Even in a tough economy, it is still one of the most important days in one’s lifetime. Splurging on a few key things to make the day even more memorable for guests is definitely a trend. Silks are huge right now, along with combining them with letterpress and/or unique and tactile papers. Invitations are becoming more of an experience for the guests. It is important to get them truly curious and excited about the event. I LOVE a theme, be it a color scheme, monogram or true “theme” (i.e. Alice in Wonderland). It  really inspires me and my creativity.

Thanks for sharing Linz!
