Day Lilly Wedding Invitation

Summer weddings are a fabulous opportunity to try something a little fresh and out of the ordinary for your wedding guests. Day Lilly Garden Wedding invitations are the perfect opportunity to incorporate your summer or garden wedding theme, show your personality, and even save a little money making them yourself.

I love Day Lilies and they come in such a variety of colors, which makes them easy to incorporate into almost any wedding flower scheme.

Here is a Day Lilly Garden wedding invitation project that is beautiful, classy, and easy to do. If you are having a large wedding with quite a few guests this fall I highly recommend asking some of your bridesmaid and even the grooms men to help make these wonderfully unique Day Lilly invitations.

For this Day Lilly wedding invitation project you will need:

Day Lilly stencil

Heavy grade watercolor paper

Watercolor paint or acrylic paint

Water

Paint Brushes

Sharp Scissor or Exacto Knife

Pencils

This is an easy Day Lilly summer wedding invitation project if you break it down into a number of different steps and don't let them overwhelm you.

The first step is to find some Day Lilly stencil images. Use any flower you will be using in your summer wedding or one you just like.

Look at floral fabric as well as photos for inspiration. You can easily trace these onto some acetate and cut out your own Day Lilly stencils. Look for different shapes and large sizes. Summer Wedding invitations traditionally have quite a bit of information printed on them, so your Day Lilly will need to be big enough to include all of the information you want on there. You can also use real Day Lilies as inspiration for your wedding invitations and free hand your painting.

Once you have found a variety of Day Lilly stencils you will want to lay them out on some regular drawing paper, trace them and cut them out. I love this look because you can use your exacto knife to cut out the petals in the Day.

You can make a variety of different Day Lilly wedding invitations or stick with one pattern. Cutting them out allows you to see how well your summer wedding invitation information will fit on the inside.
