Oh So Beautiful Paper

Designer Alison Iven sent over these beautiful invitations that she created for her best friend’s wedding in Arizona.  I love the hand lettering and the desert botanical illustrations!  The bride loves tea, so in addition to the invitations and rsvp card Alison incorporated tea bags with the bride and groom’s initials and wedding date to help serve as a reminder for guests.  The entire suite was packaged together in a green vellum inner envelope with a cactus illustration on the belly band.  So pretty!

From Alison: I was very excited and honored to design invitations for my best friend, Jenna, for her wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona.  The venue was a major inspiration for the couple and they wanted the invitations to reflect a laid back Southwestern elegance.

I created pen and ink illustrations of different types of cacti and custom lettering using only one color for flexible printing options and to keep the cost down.

Pieces include invites and envelopes, RSVP cards, return address stamp, thank you cards, tea bags, and table numbers.

Thank you so much Alison!

   I’m not normally a big fan of green but I think this is beautiful, really understated and charming. A huge part of me wants to get married purely so that I can get working on some kick-ass invites
