Emma + David’s Beach Inspired Destination Wedding Invitations

We’re definitely starting to see real signs of spring here in DC, but just a few weeks ago I would have given just about anything for a tropical beach vacation! Sara from Inkprint Letterpress created these invitations and day-of stationery for a December destination wedding in Costa Rica. I’m loving the coral and turquoise color palette and all the beach-inspired design elements!

From Sara: Working with Emma and David was an amazing experience. Emma and David were married in Costa Rica. Emma is the sweetest, most laid back bride I have ever met: she knew her style and what she wanted but was also open to ideas and input! They already had a map created by The Wandering Whale that they wanted to incorporate in the suite, and they knew they wanted to include the teal and coral with some abstract beach designs.

When they visited Costa Rica prior to the wedding, they realized the colors were much more vibrant there, so they asked me to make the coral more intense for the day of stationery. They also wanted me to incorporate a coral motif, which was present on pillows they used as decoration.

Indian Pattern Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Sara from Inkprint Letterpress sent over these gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations that she recently designed inspired by Indian patterns.  I love the bright colors and intricate details!

From Sara: I love working with vibrant colors and eye catching designs.  This invitation is a three color design with an intricate Indian pattern.  This would be perfect for a summer wedding – the gorgeous details and color would set the right tone for an unforgettable event.

 The invitation was hand letterpress printed on 100% cotton paper in pink, orange, and silver.  These vibrant colors were the perfect match for this intricate Indian pattern.

Thanks Sara!
