Oh So Beautiful Paper

Nothing epitomizes summer quite like seersucker – once June rolls around it’s seersucker suits, skirts and dresses galore here in DC as Capitol Hill and government staffers try to escape the perennial DC heat and humidity.  So when Kathryn posted a link to these amazing seersucker invitations photographed by Brookelyn Photography, I was instantly smitten with the beautiful seersucker fabric invitation pockets:

Of course, once I looked past the seersucker I also fell in love with the handwritten text and illustrated line details.  Turns out this couple DIY’d the entire invitation suite – learning how to use a letterpress so they could print their own invitations!  The result is absolutely stunning.  I can’t wait to see Brooke’s photos from their wedding!

   These are incredible! I am totally impressed and then to know on top of it that they taught themselves the process just to make the invites? Truly touching and amazing.

   You KNOW I love these! They really would’ve been perfect for our wedding. Not that I didn’t LOVE my invitations, but I still enjoy seeing suites that would’ve subbed in perfectly!
