Kate + Conor’s Travel-Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! You already know that I have a major case of wanderlust, so these travel-inspired wedding invitations from designer Sarah Drake are a sight for sore eyes! Created for a wedding in Door County, Wisconsin, the invitations and day-of stationery feature everything from silhouettes and a custom crest to beautiful map envelope liners to a lace pattern that matches the bride’s wedding dress. Stunning!

From Sarah: Everything about working with Kate and Conor was a dream, from creating their custom crest and silhouettes to deciding on the perfect slate blue and gray to complement their venue’s color palette.

We sourced a vintage marine map of northern Wisconsin to line the envelopes, and created our own map of Egg Harbor for the letterpress invitation suite. The finishing touch was the whimsical calligraphy by Stacey Shapiro.

We also created paper products for the reception, including custom cocktail napkins, flag escort cards, menus, and ceremony programs.
