Nancy + Guy’s Modern Navy and White Wedding Invitations

It’s so fun to see designers expand their horizons with each new project.  Virginia and Mishayla of Plane Paper specialize in laser-cut greeting cards and stationery, but recently took on a custom wedding invitation design project.  They created a modern chevron-inspired design for both the invitation and laser-cut envelope, partnering with their studiomate Repeat Press to letterpress print the invitation suite.

From Virginia and Mishayla: Nancy and Guy wanted a wedding suite that would remain timeless, yet have a modern edge.  We combined a bold, graphic chevron pattern with a serif font and traditional wording – all in classic navy blue.

We designed a laser-cut envelope, our signature element, again incorporating the chevron pattern.  The envelope was tied with a letterpress tag with the reception location and wedding website.  Yellow baker’s twine added a pop of summer color and sense of playfulness to the suite.

We also designed ‘day-of’ elements, specifically flags wrapped around yellow and white paper straws.  Both the flag and tag used the ‘v’ of the chevron to allude to their respective, familiar silhouettes.

Rachael + Brian’s Woodland and Fabric Wedding Invitations

Kraft paper and white ink is such a fabulous combination – perfect for a variety of design styles from modern to rustic.  Designer Rachael Ward decided to combine kraft paper, white ink screen printing, and fabric for her woodland wedding invitations.  So pretty!

From Rachael: As a graphic designer and crafter, I knew I wanted to design something that incorporated fabric and gave our guests a peek into our wedding style.  Inspiration came mostly from the location of the wedding, Krippendorf Lodge located within the Cincinnati Nature Center at Rowe Woods.

The overall wedding theme was a combination of vintage and woodland styles.  The color palette was loosely based on robins egg blue, blush pink, ivory, and brown.  The invitations were screen printed using white ink on French Paper‘s 100 lb Speckletone Cover in Kraft.  Then they were wrapped with either a blue or pink floral fabric from Joann Fabric to match the color palette.  A reply card was tied around each card with a coordinating ribbon.

Janna + Brian’s Vintage-Inspired Wedding Stationery

For Janna and Brian’s wedding stationery, Melissa and Amy from Atheneum Creative incorporated a postcard save the date and fold-out poster wedding invitation – all with a vintage look inspired in large part by the architecture of the wedding venue.  Melissa and Amy also created some really fun day-of stationery details, from ceremony programs to menus!

From Melissa + Amy: When Janna and Brian told us that they were getting married at Villa Del Largo in Austin – a place full of gorgeous arches – we knew that we wanted the venue’s architectural elements to resonate in the design.  We decided to pull those arches into a wedding logo and incorporate the logo throughout the invitations and day-of materials.

Janna and Brian asked us to create a vintage look and feel for their wedding.  We knew that the couple wanted to send out a postcard for their save the date, so we wanted to give the typography the vintage feel in addition to the photo on the front of the postcard.

For the invitation, Janna and Brian wanted to do something really different – and since almost all the guests are from out of town, what better way to highlight the Texas wedding venue than with a large fold-out poster invitation?  We created each panel to reveal more information, including an rsvp postcard.

We also created several day-of elements, including welcome baskets, place cards and escort cards, menus, ceremony programs, and signs.  The ceremony programs doubled as fans to keep guests cool during the outdoor ceremony.

Janna and Brian used one very long table for their guests; two large chalkboard signs in vintage frames directed guests to their seats, while kraft paper place card tags were tied around each silverware setting.  We screen printed the menus directly onto the linen napkins.

Denise + Jack’s Modern Yellow Wedding Invitations

I love starting the week with something bright and colorful, so I was thrilled when Lisa from Good on Paper sent over these sunny yellow wedding invitations that she designed for a recent couple.  The couple wanted something light and fun, so Lisa created cute little illustrations representing some of their favorite things and places.  Such a great idea!

From Lisa: I designed this custom wedding invitation and rsvp postcard for a super cute and quirky couple, Jack and Denise.  They don’t take themselves too seriously and wanted that to be reflected in the wedding, an informal party at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol, California.  I was inspired by a random list of all the things they liked individually and as a couple to depict these things as little illustrations on the invitations.

With a palette of sunny yellow, gray, and ochre, some of the illustrations included the San Francisco Mint (where Jack proposed), a jackalope (Denise’s nickname for Jack), a polar bear (Denise’s favorite animal), a viola (Denise plays), a coffee cup (he drinks espressos, she drinks americanos), their thumbprints, a stack of books, and a bottle of bourbon.

{happy weekend!}

Oh, you guys… this was a rough week.  Just lots of stress from start to finish, including a semi-emergency vet visit for one of our cats (fingers crossed he’s going to be just fine) – but it’s the kind of week that makes me want to turn off all phones/computers and hibernate for a few days.  So I’m signing off for the weekend and hoping for a fresh start next week.  But in the meantime…
