Emma + Finn’s Floral New York City Wedding Invitations

I’m always a fan of floral designs, but even more so during this time of year – when flowers and trees are in bloom all over my neighborhood of Capitol Hill. I just can’t resist all the pretty blossoms! Jessica from Moira Design Studio sent over these floral invitations that she designed for a spring wedding at the Central Park Boathouse in New York City. She combined the feminine floral designs with an illustration of the New York City skyline. So pretty!

From Jessica: Feminine details of hand painted spring flowers and leaves are perfect for this spring wedding in Central Park. Emma and Finn wanted to set the tone of romance and spring time, and wanted to focus their invitations with some custom artwork to reflect both their artistic careers. We paired the blush flowers with a simple watercolor of the New York city skyline to further tie the Park and the city together.

The skyline lined the mailing envelope, and also was printed on the reverse side of the invitation. The floral pattern adorns the back of the response card as well as the response envelope.  We addressed the envelopes in matching calligraphy for a unified look. We love working with different mediums, this suite was created with gouache and watercolor paint, as well as calligraphy ink.

{happy weekend!}

This week was a flurry of activity, both at home with our never-ending to do list (we’re still unpacking a month after moving in), a very active getting-ready-to-crawl baby, and a ton of prep work in advance of the National Stationery Show in just a few short weeks! I’m so excited to head back to one of my favorite cities and see some of my favorite people, and yes, of course Sophie will be coming along! Thankfully my dad is coming down this weekend to help us get a few things done around the house. But in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

So I have big news: we finally bought a house! You may remember that we’ve been hunting since early December, and after a few unsuccessful offers we’re finally under contract on a cute little rowhouse – we move in just a couple of weeks! We’re just a wee bit stressed out trying to make arrangements for the move and some minor house repairs that need to be done after we close, and of course pack up our entire apartment (ugh), so if things seem kind of erratic for the next few weeks I hope you’ll bear with me! But even with the stress of a move, I can’t wait to start making our new house our own, starting with a fresh coat of paint in every single room. Yay! But in the meantime…

Erika + Andrew’s Modern Nautical Wedding Invitations

Becca from Suite Paperie sent over these fun custom invitations for a wedding in Massachusetts, and I’m loving the festive and modern nautical vibe! Using a classic red, white, and blue color palette, Becca incorporated nautical details like stripes and lobsters with whimsical dots. Too cute!

From Becca: This wedding invitation suite was by far one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in a long time! I actually met Erika via a mutual friend on Twitter, when she was searching for stationers for her wedding. We instantly clicked, and got to working on her “Kate Spade meets Surfer” inspired invitations. Erika, the creative brains behind the blog Radiant Republic, had a vision and we ran with it to come up with the suite below.

We used dots, lobsters, and nautical stripes to keep the design whimsical, while the mix of script and block print typefaces added a touch of sophistication. The invitations were letterpress printed on luxurious 220# cotton Lettra and the rest of the suite was offset printed in navy and coral to match. The set was assembled with cotton twine and finished with a sweet square tag.

Megan + Mike’s Whimsical Pink and Gold Confetti Wedding Invitations

After sending out their seaside save the dates, Megan and Mike decided to go in a more celebratory direction for their wedding invitations. Nichole from Coral Pheasant created a vibrant design inspired by Kate Spade, champagne, and confetti. The invitation suite was letterpress printed in bright pink and gold foil – these invitations practically sparkle!

From Nichole: Megan loves Kate Spade and all things paper – a girl after my own heart! She knew right away that she wanted her wedding invitations to reflect the playful aesthetic of Kate Spade. The result was the epitome of all things fun and celebratory: champagne, chevron pattern, and confetti in shades of punchy pink and gold.

The invitation combines a playful script font with a quirky serif and gold confetti. The individual pieces are a mix of letterpress and gold foil on heavy weight cotton Lettra paper, with the main invitation edge tinted in bright pink for an extra pop of color.

The individual pieces were stacked according to size and tied with a navy silk ribbon. The topmost item was a pink coin envelope with a gold glitter wedding website card – a simple piece that delighted everyone when they opened the envelope!

In researching ideas for Megan and Mike’s invitation, I came upon a quote from Jane Austen’s Emma. It reads: “It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightly must marry no one but herself!” I had already incorporated the arrow as a graphic element and the quote paired beautifully with the design with one slight modification: Mr. Knighly was replaced with the groom’s last name. It was a perfect fit! We incorporated the quote into the chevron pattern envelope liner.
