Kaitlyn + John’s Rustic Glam Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! We’re starting the week with some beautiful screen printed wedding invitations and save the dates from Heidi at idieh design. Heidi created a suite that combines rustic elegance with glamorous romance, pairing wood veneer with lace, kraft paper, and mailing boxes full of rosebuds!

From Heidi: When John proposed to Kaitlyn, he not only presented her with a ring, but a tree stump engraved with their own unique monogram – their initials encompassed by a heart and arrow. This piece of artwork would become the inspiration behind all of their paper products, from their save the dates to invitations to all of their day-of stationery.

To announce the celebration, I worked with John and Kaitlyn to create a whimsical wood-inspired kraft save the date. The playful font gave the save the date an informal feel, but the guests were given a sneak peek of the black tie celebration-to-come with hints of lace accents across the bottom. The envelope was personalized with a liner of the couples engagement photo. The save the date was screenprinted by Diskgrunt.

The elaborate boxed invitation built upon the save the date. The main invitation was screenprinted on walnut wood veneer by Cards of Wood and wrapped with gorgeous lace trimming. The entire suite incorporated calligraphy by Jennifer Schmitt.

The tactile invitation was laid on top of dried mini rose petals that introduced additional texture and color to the suite. The response card, envelope, and details card were wrapped together snuggly and attached to the lid. The completed box was sealed with an address label and finished off with custom postage.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It felt wonderful to get back into the swing of things this week! Sadly, I managed to come down with a slight cold this week, which is probably my body’s way of letting me know not to rush too fast back into a hectic schedule. So I’m off to rest and enjoy the weekend… I hope you all can do the same! But in the meantime…

Calligraphy Inspiration: Anne Robin Calligraphy

After I stumbled upon the work of Anne Robin Calligraphy, I pretty much fell head over heels. Photo after photo of what seemed like effortlessly gorgeous handwriting. It certainly didn’t surprise me to learn that she was first taught the art of calligraphy at the age of 9. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, New York Magazine, and the title credits of a Guy Ritchie film just to name a few. Anne has mastered an extensive list of calligraphic styles. From the tastefully traditional to the whimsically modern, she’s got your calligraphy needs covered. – Julie

Anne’s calligraphy style Rina is stunning. Letters and words strung together with feather light strokes.

Though each style is different, they compliment each other beautifully. The downside: how are we supposed to pick when they all look so amazing?
