Seasonal Stationery: Holiday Photo Cards

If you’re planning to send out custom holiday cards or holiday photo cards this year, it’s time to get started! There are so many amazing options out there these days, including beautiful gold foil and letterpress holiday cards. I love that holiday photo cards have come so far over the past few years – you can send a card with a beautiful family photo to send to your friends and family without sacrificing on the design! So for those of you looking for a bit of holiday card inspiration, I thought I’d highlight a few of my favorites today!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s Halloween weekend! We haven’t decided if we’ll take Sophie trick or treating on Saturday; she’s still pretty young and our neighborhood gets a bit crazy (and crowded) during trick or treating. But tonight is our neighborhood Halloween festival, and we’re definitely looking forward to taking both Sophie and Alice! But in the meantime…

Whimsical Pink and Navy Wedding Invitations

Navy and pale pink is just such a great color combination. It was the color palette for this year’s Paper Party invitations back in May – and I’ve been a fan ever since! These wedding invitations from Designed by Jaclyn were created for Jaclyn’s sister and combine a modern sans serif typeface with whimsical script and beautiful line illustrations! I’m also loving the navy and pink color palette for a fall wedding!

From Jaclyn: A light and airy invitation design with hints of floral touches and modern typefaces set the tone for the event. We used a clean sans serif typeface paired with a whimsical script to create a playful feeling to the invitation. We were lucky to have the main invitation letterpress printed by a lovely local studio, Dependable Letterpress, which added a touch of texture and luxury to the suite.

Along with the invitation, we included an illustrated map of the venue. Inspired by a few of the couple’s favorite things, I tried to incorporate a few subtle personal touches to the map illustrations that would add personality without overshadowing the information, like the Golden State Warriors logo (the groom’s favorite team) and an illustration of two otters holding hands (the bride’s favorite animal).

To complete the suite, a RSVP tag and navy baker’s twine was used to tie the invitation pieces together and add a pop of color. My sister and her now-husband absolutely loved their invitation as it reflected both their personalities and the spirit of their wedding day.

Inspired By: Lilac

Lilac and other pastels are generally lumped into the category of “spring” colors – but I love lilac for fall! And lilac is especially pretty when paired with deep navy blue or pale peach, don’t you think?

2. Lilac leather clutch from Baggu

3. Lilac color twist wool ribbon from Knot + Bow

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It has been nothing but rain, rain, rain all week here in DC thanks to Hurricane Joaquin! My garden is super happy to have all of this rain, but the heavy clouds have been messing with my photography schedule! Of course we’d get hurricane-related weather the week that I have like four separate deadlines involving original photography. Gah! I’m wrapping up the last of those deadlines today and I’m ready to take a big deep breath as we head into the weekend. But in the meantime…
