Laura Macchia Wedding Invitations

I’ve featured Laura’s fill-in party invitations before, and she just let me know that she’s launched a new collection of wedding invitations!  The designs all feature her hand drawn patterns and floral illustrations.  She’s shared a few of the invitations below, but you can find the full collection in her etsy shop!

Marissa + Tom’s Aqua Blue Faux Bois Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m starting off the week with a playful set of wedding invitations from Allie Ruth Design that combines aqua and faux bois!  Together with yellow stitching and a selection of cute vintage stamps, the invitation suite has a sweet and quirky vibe perfect for an incredibly sweet couple.

From Allie:  I made these invitations for my friends, Tom and Marissa.  I am so honored that I had the opportunity to custom-design wedding invitations for this couple.  They are so much fun and a really sweet people.  They came to me with a loose vision of what they wanted – a vintage-inspired design with faux bois on aqua paper, stitched details, and real lace belly bands.  The rest was up to me!

I decided to go for a “formal and quirky” feel with these, bringing in the glassine envelopes, ribbon banner labels, and bright yellow thread.  I think the vintage stamps are my favorite part – the colors go so well with the rest of suite!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  These last couple of days have been absolutely gorgeous here in DC – so I’m heading out to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!  Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?  After the hustle and bustle of another busy week I’m hoping to relax and recuperate a bit before next week.  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend:

This week on Oh So Beautiful Paper:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday! xoxo

Whimsical Calligraphy from Barbara Kua

Toronto-based calligrapher Barbara Kua sent over some of her recent work, and I couldn’t resist sharing it with all of you!  Barbara has a lovely and whimsical calligraphy style, with lots of cute little swirls and hand drawn frames to give envelopes, menus, and wedding invitations a little something extra.

I’ve had these illustrated wedding invitations by Will Bryant bookmarked for the longest time, and since things are starting to warm up here in DC (fingers crossed for an early spring!)
