Moulin Rouge Inspired Red + Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

I love the idea of pairing one vibrant color with shiny metallic foil – in this case, bold red and gold from Erin at Lucky Luxe! Erin drew inspiration from her favorite movie, combining typography inspired by the Belle Époque and Indian design motifs into a sophisticated invitation suite. Beautiful!

From Erin: I’ve been wanting to add an Indian-inspired invitation to the Lucky Luxe collection for quite a while, but I was unsure of exactly how I wanted it to look outside of vibrant colors and gold foil. After some concept designing, I remembered the Indian theme in my favorite movie ever—Moulin Rouge. I decided that could be the perfect way to give new life to an old idea—to combine elements of French typography with Indian ornaments.

And so – Spectacular Spectacular – our most glamorous design to date is here, inspired by Satine, Christian, and the glittering, gorgeous costumes from the Hindi Sad Diamonds sequence. I guess you could say we’ve got a major thing for Baz Luhrmann movies, since our Gatsby invitation is the most popular Lucky Luxe design ever.

Melanie + Robert’s Chagall-Inspired Hand Painted Wedding Invitations

The hand painted invitations created by Kristy Rice and her team at Momental Designs are true works of art – and even more so when the design itself is inspired by art! Drawing inspiration from song lyrics, Kristy created an invitation suite incorporating watercolor patterns inspired by ikat and suzani textiles, hand painted flowers, and lots more!

From Kristy: Melanie and Robert were a colorful and fun-loving couple with a deep appreciation of the arts. Both shared a love for reading so books were to be part of the design from the very beginning conversations. The suite was inspired by the song “Painting by Chagall.”

We developed three patterns from various floral watercolor elements inspired by Ikat and Suzani textiles. Each cover was then adorned with an individually hand painted poppy bloom. The poppy bloom was first introduced on the bold and colorful save the dates. The wedding programs were patterned booklets tied up in a curated collection of vintage hankies – so sweet!

Kaitlyn + John’s Rustic Glam Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! We’re starting the week with some beautiful screen printed wedding invitations and save the dates from Heidi at idieh design. Heidi created a suite that combines rustic elegance with glamorous romance, pairing wood veneer with lace, kraft paper, and mailing boxes full of rosebuds!

Rustic-Glam-Wood-Lace-Wedding-Invitations-Idieh-Design

From Heidi: When John proposed to Kaitlyn, he not only presented her with a ring, but a tree stump engraved with their own unique monogram – their initials encompassed by a heart and arrow. This piece of artwork would become the inspiration behind all of their paper products, from their save the dates to invitations to all of their day-of stationery.

To announce the celebration, I worked with John and Kaitlyn to create a whimsical wood-inspired kraft save the date. The playful font gave the save the date an informal feel, but the guests were given a sneak peek of the black tie celebration-to-come with hints of lace accents across the bottom. The envelope was personalized with a liner of the couples engagement photo. The save the date was screenprinted by Diskgrunt.

The elaborate boxed invitation built upon the save the date. The main invitation was screenprinted on walnut wood veneer by Cards of Wood and wrapped with gorgeous lace trimming. The entire suite incorporated calligraphy by Jennifer Schmitt.

The tactile invitation was laid on top of dried mini rose petals that introduced additional texture and color to the suite. The response card, envelope, and details card were wrapped together snuggly and attached to the lid. The completed box was sealed with an address label and finished off with custom postage.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It felt wonderful to get back into the swing of things this week! Sadly, I managed to come down with a slight cold this week, which is probably my body’s way of letting me know not to rush too fast back into a hectic schedule. So I’m off to rest and enjoy the weekend… I hope you all can do the same! But in the meantime…

Rebecca + Jeffrey’s Windswept Beach Wedding Invitations

So what do I do when the temperatures dip to sub-zero levels? Dream of the beach! Nina from Tweedle Press sent over these windswept beach letterpress invitations for a summer wedding on the Jersey shore. The invitations feature pale pink text in a feminine script, blind impression background imagery, and a thin piece of wood veneer to evoke the feeling of driftwood.

From Nina: When I first met with Rebecca last year to discuss her  invitations, she was very clear that, although their wedding would be at a beach location in New Jersey, they did NOT want any cheesy, theme-y, overdone imagery. We discussed muted colors, driftwood, beach grass, and shore birds. She also mentioned that she really liked the idea of bringing in a sea green and a feminine, pale pink. I could tell that they were putting together a very romantic and yet modern wedding, so I set to work using a flowing script font and subtle imagery.

This was one of my favorite wedding invitations I worked on all of last year because it so beautifully showcases the best of what letterpress printing has to offer. The inkless or “blind” impression of the background scenery on each of the pieces, pressed into the thick cotton paper, looks delicious enough to eat.

To bring in the driftwood concept, we affixed the main invitations to a very thin slice of a wood. The translucent green envelopes gave the whole package an incredibly airy feel, and guests could see the natural twine wrapping before even opening the envelope. I love these invitations!!
