I always look forward to the launch of a new collection from Minted because 1) hello, pretty paper, and 2) the talented community of designers at Minted always provides a fresh take on the hottest trends, and they often plant the seeds for new and emerging trends, as well.

Minted recently introduced their 2015 wedding invitation collection and, in addition to gorgeous, on trend, floral-themed and foil stamped invitation designs, I also noticed a number of designs that incorporate classic frame elements. There are sleek circle and rectangular frames, as well as more funky geometric and gem-inspired frames, which are totally cool, and the frames that really caught my eye are the ovals. From outstanding floral wreaths to painterly abstracts and geological-inspired designs, oval frames are popping up all over the place. I’m calling this an emerging trend, and one that I’m totally on board with, by the way.

Here are some of my oval-framed faves from the new Minted wedding invite collection:

1. Floral Crown by Lori Wemple 2. Flora Frame by Laura Hankins 3. Midnight Foliage by Alethea and Ruth 4. Gold Portrait by Phrosné Ras 5. Gallery Abstract Art by Alethea and Ruth 6. Grand Fleur by Kristie Kern 7. Gilt Agate by Kaydi Bishop 8. Prettiest Wreath by Phrosné Ras 9. Sunwashed Wildflowers by Frooted Design 10. The Union by Dana Beckwith 11. Buchanan by Keen Peachy 12. Painted Wreath by Jennifer Wick
