Oh So Beautiful Paper

Our first set of wedding invitations this week comes to us from Leslie Vega Design – for a wedding taking place this summer in Puerto Rico!  Although Lorna and José are originally from Puerto Rico, many of their guests will be traveling to attend the wedding, and they wanted wedding invitations that reflected both their own heritage as well as the natural beauty of the island, all in a truly stunning shade of royal blue.

From Leslie:  Our lovely bride, Lorna and her fiance, José, will be getting married in the beautiful destination setting of the Hacienda Seista Alegre in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.  Lorna and Jose are both natives of Puerto Rico and wanted their wedding to reflect the beauty of their spanish heritage.  There is meaning throughout every element of this suite.

The design of their letterpress suite uses blue spanish inspired patterns, vintage elements and a special, carefully hand drawn ‘Flamboyan’ tree – a tree especially known for it’s grandiose beauty seen all throughout the island of Puerto Rico.  The two birds placed over an intricate depiction of an infinity symbol signify the love story of how they met in college during a calculus class where the infinity symbol is commonly used.

Just stunning!  Thank you so much Leslie!

   I agree with the above comment, I normally like things simpler but these are very nice!

   normally i’m not into such classic invites (i just really like cleeean modern fonts) but i really like these – partly because they remind me of that dutch blue pottery (which i love the look of oddly enough) and also the monochromatic blue just really WORKS.
