Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Pinwheels

Happy first day of summer!  It’s hard to believe my favorite time of the year is officially upon us, but I’m certainly not complaining.  In honor of the season change, I’m talking pinwheels today!  If you’re holding a summer wedding, incorporating a few of these fun, nostalgic summer signifiers is sure to please guests of all ages.  And for all you true paper lovers out there, it’s a great excuse to bring paper elements into so many more day-of items.  Not only can you have pinwheel place cards and table numbers, but they make great boutonnieres, cake toppers and oh so much more, too! — Kelly

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: MidCentury Modern

Happy Wednesday everyone!  We’ve had the pleasure of featuring hundreds of amazing wedding invitations over the years, but wedding stationery doesn’t stop with the invitations.  Today I’m thrilled to introduce a new column written by my friend Kelly from Studio DIY that is devoted to day-of wedding stationery inspiration, starting with some fun midcentury modern ideas!

Midcentury Modern design spans several decades and multiple styles.  Clean fonts, bold silhouettes, graphic patterns and offbeat color pairings are a signifying characteristics that come to mind.  Luckily, these qualities all translate beautifully from architecture and interiors into stationery!  If you dream of Eames or you just can’t bear to let this season of Mad Men end on Sunday, take a little cue from this once again popular style for your day-of wedding items!  Menus, place cards, table numbers and more… they all wear the midcentury hat quite well. — Kelly

National Stationery Show 2012, Part 3

I’m so excited to share more from the National Stationery Show!  There has been so much amazing stationery to see at this year’s show, I’ve barely even made a dent in the last two days.  First up for today, I loved all the colorful and modern stationery from Two Paperdolls, from bright greeting cards and a mustache-theme calendar to a gorgeous new album of wedding invitations.  I’m particularly smitten with the line of Mad Men-inspired cards!

Last year, Adrienne from Dingbat Press created a booth covered in silver leaf – and this year she switched things up with a booth made from hundreds of coaster-size kraft paper circles.  Amazing!  I love Adrienne’s new collections of initial notebooks and colorful self-mailing stationery sets.

After making her Stationery Show debut last year, Catherine from Printerette Press put together another beautiful booth full of sweet letterpress greeting cards and a brand new wedding collection.  So pretty!

I’m so excited to see more designers producing boxed writing sheet sets, and I love all the whimsical designs from Fawnsberg – not to mention the greeting cards and rubber stamps featuring their signature hand lettering.

The Dauphine Press booth was ridiculously pretty this year – chock full of gorgeous wedding invitations with metallic foil details, colorful edge painting, and lovely patterns.

So much pretty paper eye candy from Fine Day Press – from the beautiful new watercolor calendar to foil stamp patterns and letterpress greeting cards!

Page Stationery made their Stationery Show debut this year with a brand new wedding album and lots of really fun day-of wedding stationery, including letterpress printed ceremony program covers and double-sided reception signs.  Such a great idea!  I also love their collection of “manly” boxed stationery.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more from the show!

Mary + Ben’s Elegant and Rustic Day-of Wedding Stationery

As promised, we’re back with some of the day-of wedding stationery that Melissa and Amy from Atheneum Creative put together for Mary and Ben’s wedding.  As with the save the dates and wedding invitations, Melissa and Amy continued to incorporate wood veneer elements to complement the elegant and rustic wedding style – from ceremony programs and escort cards to menus and table numbers.

 

From Melissa + Amy: The ceremony program reflected the rustic element, with a wood veneer cover and letterpress printed pages mounted inside.  The wood veneer cover was also letterpress printed with Mary and Ben’s names and the wedding location.

 

We also created cocktail napkins and bathroom towels with Mary and Ben’s wedding logo.  The escort cards were a combination custom pocket envelope and digitally printed slip-in card with the table number.  Guest names were calligraphed on the outside of each envelope.

 

For the table numbers, we wanted to continue with wood as our material but do something a little different in the production process.  We used hand written calligraphy numerals and laser die cut each table number.

So cool!  Thanks Melissa + Amy!

Mary + Ben’s Elegant and Rustic Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  You might remember these fabulous wood veneer save the dates from Melissa and Amy at Atheneum Creative – and today they’re back with the gorgeous wedding invitations and day-of stationery.  We’ll start with the invitations first before moving onto the stationery details a bit later today.  Melissa and Amy honored the rustic elegance of the save the dates with subtle wood veneer elements in the invitation suite.  So pretty!

From Melissa + Amy: We are so grateful that Mary and Ben trusted us with the stationery for their entire wedding day!  They allowed us to push the envelope on all their materials and challenged us to step it up!  We previously shared the letterpress printed wood save the date, which really set the tone for the invitation and day of materials.

 

For the invitation we introduced calligraphy while keeping the rustic look from the save the date.  Mary loves mixing materials and printing methods, so we letterpress printed the invitation and backed it with wood veneer, while foil stamping (and letterpress printing) the reception card.  The whole set is bound by a velvet bellyband and letterpress printed wood tag.

 

Just gorgeous!  Check back a bit later for the day-of stationery from Mary and Ben’s wedding, including their beautiful menus and ceremony programs!
