Wedding invitation help

tjclap · 07-09-2007, 12:34 PM

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to make a wedding invitation to create a draped effect from the left side to down lower on the right. Do you know what I mean? the wedding dress gathers on the left side at the waist and then drapes down toward the right to the bottom of the dress and I would like to make invitations to match.
HELP I am really stumped on this on.

Could you use a layer of chiffon or tulle, then you would be able to drape or gather it as necessary. Also possible, maybe a layer of velum, cut into a draped shape to echo your dress, and overlaid on top of the invitation? Just ideas, I love a challenge!

Those are good ideas but how would you attach them? Especially the tulle, glue would show.

Get sneaky- you could cover adhesive with a coordinating ribbon, you can use decorative edge scissors to cut cool double edge borders (I do that one a lot, if you are careful, and match your cuts, you get this nice professional looking double-edge strip to use for lots of things!), you could overlay a cutout frame to hide the edges. I'd ave to play around to come up with more, but I bet you can find ways!
