Yellow Wedding Invitation Ideas
The current love fest with yellow doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. I know I’m still infatuated with all things yellow, from sunny lemon to sophisticated mustard – and I’m guessing there are a few of you looking for inspiration for a yellow wedding color palette. So, other than just telling you to check out Erica’s invitations, I thought I’d pull together a few examples of fun yellow wedding invitations:
{Classic Cowboy by Hello!Lucky}
{Daisy by Hello!Lucky}
{Rhon by Smock Paper}
{Palm Springs by KenzieKate}
{Aberdeen by KenzieKate}

{Malibu Floral and Southern Charm by Little Tree Press}
{Rosa Canina by Dauphine Press}
{Bespoke invitations by ABCD Designs}

{Sunflower invitation by Bellis Studios}
{yellow + blue invitation by swashpress}
Any favorites? Are there any other color combos that you would like to see?
Rag & Bone Bindery
I have a weakness for notebooks and journals. I probably have at least five here just waiting to be used, but I still can't pass up a great notebook when I see one. Rag & Bone Bindery, based out of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, creates some truly beautiful hand-bound journals, as well as photo albums, wedding guest books, and baby books.
My favorites are these limited edition small journals:
For anyone in need of a wedding guest book, Rag & Bone offers both accordion and bound styles (with both blank and lined pages):
Rag & Bone offers the ability to customize any book, including guest books, with one of these fabric options, which range from fun prints (like the address book below) to classic silk.
So now for the best part! Rag + Bone is offering a special 20% discount for my readers! The discount is valid on any until November 17 — just head on over to the online store and enter the code "beautiful" at checkout to receive the discount. Enjoy! Sorry- offer expired!

Calligraphy – Bluebird Studios
I first discovered Bluebird Studios a few weeks ago via Snippet & Ink, but only recently got around to exploring their work in greater detail.
Rebecca Trawick is the talented calligrapher behind Bluebird Studios and has done some truly beautiful work. Rebecca has worked with invtation and letterpress studios including Good on Paper and Paper Monkey Press. These are a few of my favorite examples, but you can also find more of her calligraphy here.
I love that letterpress studios are starting to use more calligraphy and handwriting. I love fancy scripts and typefonts as much as anyone else, but there's truly something special about letterpressed calligraphy.
{I wish I had handwriting this lovely…}
Rebecca is also an illustrator, collagist and painter who uses found materials, paper ephemera and other vintage items to create one-of-a-kind works of art and illustrations. You can see more of her lovely artwork here.
