Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Botanical

I think we all know and love the feel of those vintage seed packets, with the illustrated florals and vintage botanical feel. Am I right? For those of you planning garden weddings, these seed packets may just be the perfect inspiration for your paper goods. I love that the style looks just as elegant when focused on lush green hues as it does when pops of bright, yet subtle, colors are brought in. You can even bring the botanical elements to life with, yes, real botanicals to complement your stationery. Here’s a few ideas to get you ready for a garden (wedding) party! —Kelly

Quick Pick: Blackbird Letterpress + Betsy Dunlap

I have such fond memories of the first collaboration between Kathryn of Blackbird Letterpress and calligrapher Betsy Dunlap in these gorgeous wedding invitations way back in 2010 – and I’m absolutely thrilled to see this continued collaboration in a new line of greeting cards! Each card features a map letterpress printed in a subtle clear varnish and a heartfelt message in Betsy’s calligraphy. Such a stunning combination!

Michelle + Brian’s Timeless Silver Foil Wedding Invitations

These classic invitations from designer Carina Skrobecki are timeless, elegant, and somewhat unexpected for a wedding on the beach! Carina drew her inspiration from the luxury hotel wedding venue, printing the suite in a matte silver foil for a hint of glamour. The resulting invitations perfectly complemented the white-on-white wedding and sophisticated venue.

From Carina: Michelle and Brian were married in Santa Monica, California, in a beautiful hotel venue on the beach —  Casa Del Mar. Although the hotel boasts some quintessential ocean detailing, it has an overwhelming classic feel to it, and so did Michelle and Brian’s wedding. Michelle initially wanted to use a blind emboss letterpress, or some form of subtle printing that was classic, elegant, but also a bit modern. We ended up going with a “dusted silver” foil to give the invitations just a hint of glam. These translated beautifully for their white-on-white wedding with hints of silver.

Each piece was printed on thick 130# Mohawk paper, which has a surprisingly soft and toothy feel to it. The main invitation, rsvp card, and thank you cards were printed using 100% foil, while the reception card, and rehearsal dinner cards were printed in a warm gray ink. All pieces were wrapped in a deep gray belly band with their “H” monogram and tucked into silver lined envelopes.

MacKenzie + John’s Hand Lettered Cape Cod Wedding Invitations

So many beautiful New England wedding invitations this week! This gorgeous suite comes to us from Allie Ruth Design for a wedding on Cape Cod – but with post-wedding parties taking place in THREE different cities! Allie worked with the couple to create several sets of save the dates and invitations, all with a vintage-inspired style and lots of hand lettering. So pretty!

From Allie: MacKenzie and John’s situation was a little unique, in that they were having a very small wedding on Cape Cod, with parties in three different cities to celebrate with friends afterward. So there was a lot of room in this suite for a fun mix of patterns, papers, and colors.

MacKenzie needed a save the date for the wedding itself, as well as one to go out to a larger group for the after parties. Together, we found a wonderful vintage postcard of a windmill on Cape Cod, and dressed it up with hand-lettered text and a custom postcard-inspired back. For the after party save the date, I digitally printed a simple save the date on kraft and paired it with a coral envelope.

The Cape Cod wedding invitation was hand-printed onto vintage floral handkerchiefs that MacKenzie collected. For the RSVP, we chose another vintage Cape Cod postcard.

When it came time to design the party invitations, we knew we wanted to go with a clean and simple typographic suite, bringing in a subtle pattern on the back of the cards. I chose art deco-inspired fonts and flourishes, pairing them with hand lettering and a vintage wallpaper floral that I customized to match MacKenzie’s wedding color palette.

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.
