Lauren + Marshall’s Rustic Mountain Wedding Invitations

For these mountain top wedding invitations, Caroline from Lovely Paper Things incorporated a ton of texture, from real birch wood to recycled chipboard to raw twine. Caroline carefully rubber stamped the entire invitation suite by hand for the perfect rustic touch. So lovely!

From Caroline: When this super sweet pair came to me, they were looking for a really unique wedding invitation that would make their guests want to kick off their boots, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains! Each piece was happily hand stamped and incorporated modern hand-lettering, rustic illustrations, and a sprinkle of warm whimsy.

For Lauren, there has always been something magical about Sun Valley. From its breathtaking views, to the precious memories she has of spending time there with her family, and Marshall’s adorable art gallery proposal; it holds such a special place in her heart! Their happy history with this gorgeous spot made it an easy decision for them to pick Sun Valley as the perfect place to shout their love from the mountain tops!

James + Molly’s Cozy Woodland Toile Wedding Invitations

Last week I had the pleasure of featuring these awesome interactive invitations for a destination 40th birthday party, and today the ladies of Ladyfingers Letterpress are back with some equally stunning autumn wedding invitations! Inspired by the Lake Placid Lodge where the wedding took place, Arley-Rose and Morgan incorporated an illustrated woodland toile pattern into the design complete with a loon and an elk!

Woodland Toile Wedding Invitations by Ladyfingers Letterpress

From Arley-Rose and Morgan: When we were approached by Molly and James who were planning their autumnal wedding, they said they wanted their invitations to “feel like you’re wrapped in a cashmere blanket.” Little did we know that we would be incorporating cashmere into their suite!

Molly sent us some cashmere and wool samples which we individually cut and attached as envelope liners. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any leftovers for the photo shoot, but I can assure you, it was utterly luxurious!

Molly sent us an incredible Pinterest board that painted a gorgeous picture of the feeling she and James wanted. They mentioned that they were in love with the idea of having a “woodland toile” somehow integrated into their suite, so we made drawings of a loon, an elk, and scenes from the Lake Placid Lodge where they tied the knot.

The suite was letterpress printed in two colors on thick, 220lb Crane’s Lettra; with a copper interior envelope (lined with cashmere which is not shown) and Crane’s outer envelope.

{happy weekend}

Happy Friday everyone. Truth is, I’m having a really hard time keeping a smile on my face these days. Despite what some on the television news might want you to think, this shutdown does affect real people. My husband and several of our close friends are among the 800,000 federal government employees furloughed until the government reopens. With the shutdown, half our income immediately disappeared. No expectation of backpay and no idea when he might be allowed to go back to work. The last shutdown lasted nearly three weeks. I’m trying to look on the bright side of things and be thankful that our situation isn’t worse. I’ve also never been more grateful for leaving federal employment three years ago, so that I can at least continue to earn while Congress gets its act together. With all of this uncertainty, this is a pretty scary time for our family. But it has also gotten us thinking about some larger changes we’d like to make in our life. Changes that will help us live our life on our own terms, rather than the whims of politicians. But in the meantime…

If you love bright, bold colors and shiny gold foil, you’ll love these wedding invitations!

From Jenna: This entirely hand-lettered custom wedding invitation suite was a collaboration between myself and Margot Madison for the wedding of Cincinnati event planner Jennifer Trokhan. Jennifer wanted to work with a collection of vibrant gem tones and subtle hits of gold and an occasional aubergine purple.

The wedding took place at the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati, and the color story which began with this rich invitation continued through the day-of stationery and accommodating table elements. For the envelope liner, Margot and I chose a print from Katrina Rocella’s Spoonflower shop.

The invitation itself features gold foil, and the effect of the deeply imprinted gold on the thick peacock stock turned out really special. I completed the envelope addressing, table numbers, place cards, and out-of-town guest cards by hand in my Julienne calligraphy style with gold ink.

The printed day-of stationery elements includes hand-lettered menus, programs, and thank-you tags for guest favors and were screen printed by local Cincinnati printer, Jon Flannery at Cryptogram, all in a gold metallic ink.
