Rachel + Jason’s Modern Nature-Inspired Wedding Invitations

These wedding invitations from Sarah at Studio SloMo offer a more modern approach to a nature-inspired design. Created for a wedding at the Wildflower Center in Texas, the bride and groom wanted to bring in a nature-inspired feel without any floral motifs. Sarah included simple leaf designs letterpress printed in shades of green. So pretty!

From Sarah: Rachel and Jason were married at the Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas: they wanted something natural and modern, but not floral. They planned to use lots of bright florals at the wedding and chose to complement that with more subtle neutrals and greens for the invitations.

The letterpress wedding invitation suite includes a square invitation, RSVP, double belly band, envelope liners and thank you notes. The envelope liners were printed on a shimmer paper, which added a nice touch of elegance. Since they wanted to include their wedding website in the suite, but not on the invitation or RSVP, we thought it would be a nice idea to add a belly band directing guest where to find more detailed information. The result helped to literally tie the suite together!

Lastly, we chose to give a nod to the Wildflower Center with the blind embossed flowers lining the side of their thank you cards.

Margaret + Glenn’s Mountain-Inspired Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a restful and relaxing weekend! DC is super hot and muggy in the summer, and these days I find myself craving the crisp (and humidity-free) air of the mountains. And since I’m stuck in DC for the time being, I thought I’d start the week with two beautiful nature-inspired wedding invitations! First up, some beautiful illustrated mountain-inspired wedding invitations from Brynne at Harken Press!

From Brynne: Margaret and Glenn will be married 11,500 feet above sea level, high up in the mountains of Keystone, Colorado. Their outdoor summer wedding is a nature lover’s dream. The venue is truly rustic and romantic, surrounded by mountain views and open sky. Guests have to hop on a chair lift to reach the lodge ceremony site.

Since both the bride and groom are originally from Louisiana and most of the wedding guests will be traveling from the South, I used illustrations to help capture the picturesque surroundings and the mood of their unique wedding weekend.

Playful and dynamic, Karla’s calligraphy dances right off the paper. Her ink selections are spot on as they highlight the sweeps and curls of each line. Simply stunning!

It almost feels as if Karla’s writing transforms into water or air and floats around the paper; it’s just one of the many reasons why I adore modern wedding calligraphy styles.
