Claudine + Michael’s Unique California Wedding Invitations

08/30/2011

Sarah from Studio SloMo sent over these cool and quirky wedding invitations for an upcoming wedding in California.  I love that the belly band over the photo is actually the invitation – such a great idea!  Sarah letterpress printed the invitation and rsvp card in a rich cornflower blue, which contrasts nicely with the kraft paper envelopes and orange envelope liner.

From Sarah: This couple has the best ideas.  They had some pictures taken of them running towards each other and wanted a belly band with the wedding invitation going through the center.  I helped make their idea a reality and we were all pleased with the result.  The belly band as well as the RSVP card is letterpress printed in one color on 100% cotton paper.

To keep with the rustic, modern feel of the wedding, I did a little illustration of the farmhouse where they are getting married.  The type as well as the the illustration have a clean look but still stay a little loose and casual.  We decided to finish the suite off with a pumpkin colored envelope liner which really allows the blue to pop.
