    Hi, hive!

    Does anyone have any good advice on where I can find simple swirl or flourish graphics for invitations? I am not a designer and am just learning Photoshop. Do invitation companies usually design these graphics themselves or do they outsource to a graphic designer?

    I'd love any recommendations or input!

    Some posted this site two days ago:  http://www.weddingclipart.com/

    (so sorry I can't remember who originally posted it)

    They have lots of wedding art and directions for how to do things in word and powerpoint.

    a free option, is google. Search for "large" images for best printing quality. I searched "flourish" and heres what it came up with. You can find great images without "watermarks" (logos placed on top of images)

    Also, stock photo/illustrations sites like istock or shutterstock are GREAT for finding photos, etc. With those sites, make sure to search for "flourishes" or "swirls" under illustrations, not photography.  This will insure that you can resize the object without losing any quality.

    happy graphic hunting! :)

    I've used sites like istockphoto.com in the past. For a small fee (usually $10 or less) you can get a high resolution graphic that you can edit in illustrator or photoshop.
