Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! I’ve been spending a lot of time out in my garden lately (now that the weather is finally nice again!) and it has been so nice to see everything start to turn green after so many months of brown and gray. My peonies even have buds and the lilacs aren’t far behind! But in the meantime…

Kendra + Patrick’s California Farm Wedding Invitations

I love the illustrations in these California farm wedding invitations from Irene at Sparkvites! With a mint green and gold color palette, Irene incorporated cloud illustrations to evoke the wedding’s outdoor setting and casual hand lettering. So pretty!

California-Farm-Wedding-Invitations-Sparkvites-OSBP

From Irene: This invitation was created for a California country wedding. Kendra and Patrick wanted a hand-illustrated design for their outdoor wedding overlooking the mountains at Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse. Their ceremony and reception are both going to be held outdoors, and they wanted a country farm theme without the farm animals. It was super fun to work with Kendra on this design and dream about visiting their gorgeous venue.

The invitation is letterpress printed on double thick stock. We chose metallic gold to match the vintage country style, and mint green to match the color of her bridesmaid dresses.

Whimsical Watercolor and Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

Not only is calligraphy a beautiful art form – but you can do some really cool things with it! I’m loving this invitation suite from calligrapher Ashley Bush featuring a dreamy watercolor wash over text created with masking fluid. Such a fun idea!

Watercolor-Masking-Text-Wedding-Invitations-Ashley-Bush-OSBP

From Ashley: The inspiration behind this wedding invitation suite was whimsical, candy-colored, and dreamy. I knew instantly that I wanted to do a masked brush-lettering style, with a watercolor wash over top. I let that design element guide the rest of the suite.

Angel + Arthur’s Spring Floral Wedding Invitations

I’m a big fan of floral-inspired wedding invitations any time of year, but especially for a spring wedding! These invitations from Amanda at Wide Eyes Paper Co. combine simple line illustrations with a floral watercolor envelope liner. So pretty!

Spring-Floral-Wedding-Invitations-Wide-Eyes-Paper-Co-OSBP7

From Amanda: We created this invitation suite for a couple getting married in Sunny San Diego, California. The bride and groom are both surfers and love the outdoors. They wanted their wedding invitations to reflect their personalities and the location of their wedding in Solana Beach. They wanted something simple, elegant, and nature inspired. I hand illustrated the wreath around their names and mixed in whimsical typography.

They also wanted their guests to know how to properly get to their wedding venue. I created a custom illustrated map to go alongside this vision which is a fun way to showcase directions versus just writing them out.

The invitation and map feature letterpress printing to complement the simplicity and elegance of the set.​ Angel and Arthur wanted to stick with the “natural look” so we included a painted floral envelope liner and paired it with our natural kraft envelopes to tie it all together.
