    Hi- I am creating my own invitations and all paper goods at the wedding, and am searching for a flourish to use.  On the invitation, to the left of the text, I want to make a line and have a somewhat french looking flourish coming out of it.  So I need to be able to rotate it and have it not really freestyle looking but more fancy.  Does that make sense?  I would love something free to keep costs down and am having trouble locating something.  Any ideas or anyone use something similar on their own invites, please send ideas my way!  Thanks all!

    Are you using Photoshop or Illustrator?

    These are two great resources for free brushes and vector flourishes:

    @techie, neither, just playing around in Publisher.  I will check out these sites!  Thanks!

    @Zouave, are these free?  Some of them look really cool!  Thanks for the site.

    Sorry, it wouldn't let me finish.  I ordered the free invitation template from weddingchicks.com and then erased and cropped everything in paint, then saved it and opened it in publisher.

    I love the icon on the Lillian invites from Ivy Belle... http://www.ivybelleweddings.com/Lillian-MS-Word-Wedding-Invitation-Template-p/it%20lillian.htm

    But can't figure out if I order it if I can cut and paste the icon into my Publisher doc.  I tried emailing them but it bounced back.  Has anyone else bought a template from them?  Or have a similar flourish they've found?

    I usually just end up googling what kind of image I need, for instance "free flourish vector" or something like that.
