Romantic Blush and Gray Wedding Invitations

Ah, blush and gray. Such a timeless color combination! And so romantic. I actually think blush pink might be the most romantic color of all time – and it pairs well with pretty much any color in the rainbow and every single metallic known on Earth. Add in some gorgeous whimsical calligraphy from Brown Linen Design, elegant lace-inspired blind (no-ink) impression letterpress printed details, and perfectly coordinated vintage postage stamps, and you’ve got yourself a truly stunning invitation suite. Which is exactly what Nichole from Coral Pheas­ant did with these romantic blush and gray wedding invitations!

From Nichole: Erin and Taylor’s romantic and elegant invitation suite let guests know that this was a celebration not to be missed! Work­ing hand-in-hand with Erin and Sta­cie Shea Events, we cre­ated these beau­ti­ful blush and gray wedding invitations with a fresh spin on clas­sic ele­ments.

On the main invitation, angled type and calligraphy by Brown Linen Design are framed with a floral border blind debossed on double thick Crane’s Lettra cotton paper. The thick cotton stock allows the blind impression to be deep and visually prominent – but in a subtle way. Blush envelopes with coordinating vintage stamps add a dash of color. The entire invitation suite was wrapped in delicate lace ribbon inspired by the bride’s gown and veil.

The day-of stationery and paper elements came full circle at the wedding and reception, with design details carried over to the programs, place cards, event signage, blanket wraps and foil stamped menus.

Caron + Dave’s Woodland Watercolor Wedding Invitations

This set of wedding invitations shows that it’s entirely possible to blend rustic woodland vibes with whimsical watercolor! Created by Amanda at Wide Eyes Paper Co for a wedding in Big Sur, this invitation suite features custom watercolor landscapes and faux bois details – all in a natural color palette of kraft, green, and blue. So pretty!

From Amanda: We created this invitation suite for a couple getting married in Scenic Big Sur. The bride wanted to capture the beautiful landscape scenery of Big Sur by incorporating custom watercolor imagery throughout her stationery set. The result is a beautifully crafted suite printed on natural kraft card stock.  This ultra rustic invitation suite features our signature wooden engraved cut outs with the couples initials engraved into the wood.  This set also has corresponding rsvp postcards, information cards, printed and lined envelopes, and program fans.

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Brush Lettering

Today there are so many calligraphers adding brush lettering to their menu of offerings. There are even some really great artists producing it digitally with photoshop brushes on their computers. With all of these different artists emerging and changing up the style they started in, there are so many different options for beautiful brush lettering in your wedding stationery. From watercolor to acrylic, you can find a modern and casual or traditional and formal style that fits your style. Here are a few of my favorites! – Lauren

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Thank you all so much for the toddler sleep tips last week – we’re making incremental progress with Sophie’s bedtime routine, but these days I still feel like I spend about half my day putting either a toddler or a newborn down to sleep. Gah! This weekend I’m looking forward to celebrating a very special first birthday and working on a brand new project that I’m excited to share here in a couple of weeks! But in the meantime…

Lindsay and Ryan’s Illustrated Wedding Ceremony Programs

We saw Lindsay and Ryan’s beautiful wedding invitations from Melissa of Atheneum Creative earlier this morning – and Melissa was also kind enough to share the ceremony programs that she designed for this beautiful wedding! We so rarely get a peek into a full ceremony program so I thought it was worth highlighting in case any of you are on the hunt for some ideas and inspiration. Melissa created custom portrait illustrations for the entire bridal party and illustrated the order of the ceremony. So fun!
