Wedding invite fonts

I've been playing around with fonts for our invites and have come up with the two examples show below. Which one do you like better, or do you have other ideas? The hydrangea image is going to be stamped and embossed, and I'm also going to do some kind of swirly stamp/embossing across the top border, also in light blue.

    LOL I loved the names that you used.

    I like the script better on the top one, but the print better on the second.

    And I love the hydrangea!

    I'm with Elle - I much prefer the print on the second one. I'm pretty neutral on the script fonts, but I'd probably also go with the first one.

    Very lovely!

    Thanks ladies! I think I like the print on the second invite but I'm not sold on either of the script fonts yet.

    I  like the second one, but I like swirly fonts.

    I used Scriptina for our names. It's rather popular for invitations.

    [QUOTE]I like the seond print, but I'm not crazy about either "script" fonts.  What are you using to put these together?  The kerning is driving me LOCO.  Can you adjust it?

    In what way is it driving you loco? I'm using microsoft publisher, so I think I can? Sorry I don't know much about it.

    I like the print font on the second better. I'm not crazy about either script though. I think this one (LINK), this one (LINK), this one (LINK) or this one (LINK) would look fantastic with that print font.

    ps. I would definitely recommend checking out dafont.com. I've got tons of fonts from them for different projects and never had a problem with downloading or viruses.

    I love dafont.com. I used to use 1001freefonts (or something like that) but dafont is so much better organized.

    <div>How ironic is it that I read this word as "keming" (with an 'm') at first?</div>
