Colbi + Dan’s Rustic Idaho Mountain Wedding Invitations

I’ve had the pleasure of featuring some beautiful invitations and baby announcements from designer Kate Holgate over the past couple of years – and these rustic yet modern wedding invitations are no exception! Kate designed these invitations for a friend’s mountain wedding in Idaho, with some fun ski lift details inspired by the wedding venue – even though the wedding takes place during the summer! The entire suite was digitally printed on kraft paper with turquoise and tangerine accents. So fun!

From Kate: I recently designed an invitation suite for a good friend who is getting married this August. The ceremony is to take place at the top of Brundage Mountain, a ski resort in McCall, Idaho. Colbi and Dan were so easy to work with; they are such a fun, down-to-earth couple. They wanted an invitation design that was natural yet modern.

The entire suite was digitally printed on kraft paper, wrapped with stamped belly bands and contained in a bright tangerine envelope. The wedding guests will be riding a chairlift to the ceremony site so we thought that it would be fun to incorporate an old-school life ticket for the RSVP. Colbi and Dan deserve the most beautiful day ever and I was honored to be a part of it.

Emma + Paul’s Floral Block Printed Wedding Invitations

I’ve always loved floral prints, but my love for anything floral seems to quadruple in the spring and summer. Katharine Watson creates some incredibly beautiful floral patterns – all carved by hand on linoleum blocks! Katharine created these invitations for a couple with a shared love of nature – first drawing and carving the floral border, then letterpress printing the entire design. So pretty!

From Katharine: This invitation was created for a couple that loves the outdoors. Emma is a yoga teacher and Paul is a runner, and they wanted to translate this love of nature into their invitations. I created a floral design for them in a deep turquoise, that brought to mind an image of the outdoors without being too literal.

The floral design was hand-carved from a linoleum block, using one block for the invitation cards and another for the envelope liner. The suite was then printed on a Chandler and Price [letterpress] printing press, and tied together with twine to finish off the natural look.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately along the lines of the quote in this week’s font post… inspired in part by some of the conversations that I had with friends in California. The last year has been amazing with the arrival of Sophie, but it has also been really hard with house hunting, moving, and trying to get settled into (much less fix up) our new house with a young baby at home and a very limited budget. It’s so easy to get weighed down by our problems and lose sight of our bigger goals and dreams. So I’ve been thinking about what I really want, not in my normal immediate sense but more in the big picture sense – like Jordan’s list from a few years ago. I don’t have any answers yet, but it’s what keeps me up at night these days. I’ll keep you all posted. And in the meantime…

Katy + Dan’s Lakeside Wisconsin Wedding Invitations

Erin from Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence sent over these lovely invitations for a late summer lakeside wedding in Wisconsin – I love that the couple chose to go with a lighter nautical design rather than something more rustic! The invitation features a gray and light blue color palette with anchor details, compass rose, and patterned border. Classic, simple, and absolutely beautiful.

From Erin: Katy and Dan contacted us a couple months ago with a request for a whimsical invitation for their lakeside Wisconsin wedding. I went crazy with faux bois and pine tree icons, then she decided to go a lighter, sparkling, summery nautical direction and my entire thought process shifted. I envisioned their huge white tent against the blue sky, the lake shimmering in the sun, glass bottle seltzers with colorful striped straws, bridesmaids in smart yellow dresses, and invitations with vintage sea captain whimsy.

I’m heading out to spend the long holiday weekend with my family. Sophie’s first fireworks! And I’m looking forward to our annual tradition of visiting George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate on the Fourth of July. I wish you all a very happy Independence Day! I’ll be popping back in on Friday afternoon with a summer cocktail recipe, so check back for that in a couple of days! In the meantime…
