These beautiful illustrated invitations come to us from Jen of Shipwright & Co. – created for her own wedding earlier this spring! The invitations feature alchemy-inspired designs and handfasting elements that were also incorporated into the ceremony. So sweet!

From Jen: The entire suite was inspired by the Digby & Iona signet we chose as my husband’s wedding ring. Each piece has alchemy-inspired designs, including the clasped hands featured on the ring which we used in the save the date. Because we also included elements of handfasting in our ceremony, we felt the symbolism was especially perfect.

Our wedding was in our backyard and very small, so we also sent out announcements to friends and family that didn’t come. One of my favorite things ended up being the coasters, which we wrapped in vintage silk ribbon and gave away to the guests afterward. The beautiful flowers are by my friend Jaime of The Monkey Flower Group.

Thanks Jen!
