Seth + Summer’s Modern Woodland Screen Printed Wedding Invitations

Now these are FUN wedding invitations – and I love the combination of modern illustration with a rustic woodland design theme!  Michael Casebolt of Casebolt Design + Illustration created these wedding invitations for good friends Seth and Summer, building his design from their love for western North Carolina.  The invitations were screen printed in two colors on the front and three colors inside by the talented folks of Mama’s Sauce.  Love!

From Seth: Summer and I both strive for perfection.  When it came to our wedding invitations we had very high expectations, to say the least.  Knowing our limitations, we contacted our friend Mike – designer/illustrator extraordinaire!  Summer and I met with Mike and presented our (very) rough sketch and flickr inspiration set.  We discussed our interest in national parks and our connections to western North Carolina and gave him free reign to have fun.

After only a short time of not knowing what to expect we received our first glimpse of Mike’s work: the two front panels of the invitation.  It was everything we had envisioned and more!  It made me WANT to open the flaps and see what was inside.  We told him it was awesome, urged him to continue, and patiently waited for what was to come.

Elaborating on the exterior look and tying together every loose end we had pitched him, Mike nailed it!  All the elements were included in one cohesive illustration that really defined our ideal wedding.  We were very pleased with Mike’s work and impressed with his ability to merge our concept with his playful style.

Thanks Mike!

Amy + Doug’s Western Romance Lace-Inspired Wedding Invitations

Amy and Doug wanted wedding invitations that reflected their romantic and rustic wedding style while also maintaining a certain level of formality and sophistication.  They worked with the team at Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence to create a beautiful lace-inspired invitation suite that incorporates traditional but non-fussy wording and envelope liners made from vintage floral wallpaper.  So pretty!

From Erin at Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence: Amy told us that she was planning a romantic western wedding overlooking Glacier National Park, with a wooden barn and log lodge as backdrops.  The wedding weekend will start with a kitschy Western theme rehearsal dinner, followed by a more formal and refined wedding with rustic linen and lace.

We imagined homemade cotton dresses, lace, and simple fonts without any fussy language.  The envelope liners are made from vintage floral wallpaper in shades of blue, peach, and cream.

We created handkerchief save the dates for the wedding with kraft paper envelopes, and since Amy was looking for something a little more refined but nothing too traditional, we used a metallic sand-colored envelope that looks like kraft paper’s glamorous sister for her invitation suite.

We used vintage eyelash lace to create the artwork used throughout the suite and printed in robin’s egg blue and subtle metallic bronze on 100% cotton ecru paper.  The small floral icons are from a circa-1900 cookbook that tie in with the vintage envelope liners.

Rubber Stamp Memorial Day Summer Kick Off Invitations

I absolutely LOVE the idea of using large scale rubber stamps to create party invitations – particularly a fun and informal summer kick-off party!  Lindsay from McMillian + Furlow used a single rubber stamp with black ink on kraft paper to create the invitations for her family’s annual Memorial Day event.  I love the modern but rustic feel, not to mention the unique texture of each individual invitation!

From Lindsay: I designed these invitations for my family’s annual Memorial Day Pig Roast.  Each year I try and come up with a new look and feel for the same event, which proves to be quite challenging, but I think this year’s design was quite a success!

I love how the stamp created such a nice texture with the ink on the kraft paper, making each invitation entirely unique.  The rustic feel really suits this outdoor upstate New York event.

Lauren + Josh’s Pacific Northwest Summer Wedding Invitations

I’ll always be a huge fan of outdoor weddings – my own wedding took place on a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend evening four years ago.  Lauren from Balue/Co. sent over these beautiful save the dates and wedding invitations that she designed for her best friend’s outdoor summer wedding in the Pacific Northwest.  Lauren chose a natural color palette of blue and green with kraft paper elements to reflect the bride and groom’s love for fishing and the outdoors, along with sophisticated details perfect for an evening wedding.

From Lauren: When one of my best friends, also named Lauren, told me she was getting married this summer, I immediately knew I wanted to design their wedding suite.  Lauren and Josh are true Pacific Northwesterners and share a love for fishing and the outdoors.  Their wedding invitation design needed to reflect that love in a tasteful, subtle way.

Using soft tones of grass green and kraft paper, the color palette and design unifies the playful elements of the summer in the Northwest while remaining elegant for an outdoor evening July wedding.

Working with Seattle letterpress shop Pike Street Press, we created two-color wedding invitations complemented by a more informal save the date featuring a beautiful portrait by Kristin Boyett.

That same lighthearted feeling is carried through to the RSVP cards, which encourage guests to write a handwritten note to the couple on the back.

Thanks Lauren!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s really starting to feel like summer here in DC – which kind of freaks me out when I think about everything that I need to get done between now and the baby’s arrival in early October.  We passed the halfway mark a couple of weeks ago, and all of a sudden time seems to be moving so much faster – eek!  Off I go to tackle the next item on my to do list.  But in the meantime…
