Jul20Vintage Airmail-Inspired Wedding Invitations
These gorgeous airmail-inspired wedding invitations come to us from Erin at Lucky Luxe. Â Erin’s bride and groom, Gabriella and Peter, were inspired by their shared love of travel. Â Erin combined the vintage airmail design with the idea of a handwritten letter for an unbelievably gorgeous and completely romantic result!
From Erin: Gabriella was originally envisioning a vintage airline ticket suite as a nod to their love for travel.  I began to imagine something Hemingway inspired — love letters sent from around the globe, handwritten and imperfect, personal and cherished, with drips and puddles of fountain ink adorning the corners of each piece.
I love how the design includes the splotches and splatters of ink wells – all letterpress printed along with the invitation text – in keeping with the overall feel of an antique hand-written letter.
An airmail border was letterpress printed in red and blue on each envelope. Â Beautiful calligraphy by Holland Wilson.
Erin lined each envelope with a print of a vintage map on beautiful linen paper.
Erin tells me that this is her favorite invitation suite that she’s ever designed at Lucky Luxe – and I completely agree!  Check out more from Erin right here and here!
