Oh So Beautiful Paper

These wedding invitations are such spring fun! Created by Kristen of Mountain Paper for a spring wedding in Dallas, the suite features a color palette of green and blue along with pretty vintage-inspired floral ornaments. My favorite part? The playful quotes that the bride included throughout the invitation suite!

From Kristin: These invitations were created for Sarah and Chase, who are getting married in Dallas this spring. Sarah’s wedding palette of vibrant, springy blues and greens really shines on the printed page. The colors in combination with the curlicue typography is perfect for this fun couple. Sarah’s pension for dance moves that involve finger snapping and Chase’s hilarious Jay Cutler impression are just the tip of the entertaining iceberg!

The mix ‘n’ match look of the suite reflects the bride’s bold personal style and incorporates a touch of vintage. Sarah’s vision for her event is an upscale garden party with all the familiar trappings of a classic Texas affair, so the design needed to reflect both the refined side as well as the fun, old-world southern side. We spent a lot of time creating the filigree elements that frame each piece. They needed to look just a tad imperfect while still lending structure to the page.

Sarah’s favorite piece is the rehearsal dinner card, which invites guests to a shindig of microbrews and barbecue. My favorite pieces, on the other hand, are the clever quotes she decided on for the reverse of two cards.

We stacked each enclosure snugly in a moss-green pocketfold and wrapped the whole packet with a garter printed with a matching filigree frame. (Sarah is a news editor by day and self-admittedly loves organization, so the pocketfolds were a given from the very start.) We printed all her recipient addresses on hefty, turquoise envelopes with more fun graphics on the back for the return address, too.

Thanks Kristin!

     Katie, I believe it’s Carolyna Pro Black, designed by Emily Connors. A truly gorgeous typeface!
