Oh So Beautiful Paper

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week with another fabulous set of wedding invitations from Kate Gabriel of Wit + Delight.  Alecia and Jon wanted modern and funky invitations for their upcoming Chicago loft wedding.  Kate designed these awesome graphic black and white wedding invitations, then incorporated a bright (almost neon!) chartreuse green envelope for a bold pop of color.  Awesome!

From Kate: Jon and Alecia are planning a color-filled event in a downtown Chicago loft.  They wanted the invites to be bold and funky with a lot of their personality coming through.  They wanted letterpress invitations without breaking the bank, so we chose to print with black ink and use a bright chartreuse for the envelopes.  The graphic nature of the design really reflects their style and attitude.  I love the way we incorporated fun language in the word bubbles.

The main invitation was scored in two places and could be folded into a triangle shape to sit on a desk or console as an event reminder!  So cool!

Thanks Kate!
