Calligraphy Wedding Invitation Collection from Hazel Wonderland

We had the pleasure of featuring Meredith from Hazel Wonderland in our monthly calligraphy column back in September, so I was thrilled when Meredith sent over her latest wedding invitation collection! The collection is inspired by nature and the concept of inner beauty – the perfect complements for Meredith’s lovely calligraphy.

From Meredith: I wanted to capture the concepts of true love, inner beauty, and passion from within in these designs. Inspired by nature, travel, and beauty, the wedding collection features a natural palette, earth friendly materials, watercolor, and calligraphy.

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Silver + Gold

I have a feeling by now you are all getting into the holiday spirit, I know I am! My very most favorite thing about holiday color schemes and festivities is the love that my most cherished color – gold – gets. Along with silver (Though I’m not going to lie, this post is mostly gold!), these metallics happily ring in the season all the way through to the new year. Gold has become quite the popular wedding accent, and silver has always been there as an elegant way to add a little shine so even if you aren’t getting married during the winter season, their a pair to keep an eye on. Here’s a look at how to incorporate the two holiday classics into your day-of wedding stationery! — Kelly

Erika + Andrew’s Modern Nautical Wedding Invitations

Becca from Suite Paperie sent over these fun custom invitations for a wedding in Massachusetts, and I’m loving the festive and modern nautical vibe! Using a classic red, white, and blue color palette, Becca incorporated nautical details like stripes and lobsters with whimsical dots. Too cute!

From Becca: This wedding invitation suite was by far one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in a long time! I actually met Erika via a mutual friend on Twitter, when she was searching for stationers for her wedding. We instantly clicked, and got to working on her “Kate Spade meets Surfer” inspired invitations. Erika, the creative brains behind the blog Radiant Republic, had a vision and we ran with it to come up with the suite below.

We used dots, lobsters, and nautical stripes to keep the design whimsical, while the mix of script and block print typefaces added a touch of sophistication. The invitations were letterpress printed on luxurious 220# cotton Lettra and the rest of the suite was offset printed in navy and coral to match. The set was assembled with cotton twine and finished with a sweet square tag.
