Emily + Matt’s German Beer Wedding Invitations

How fun!  In these invitations from Lauren at The Creative Parasol, Emily and Matt were inspired by their German heritage and German beer for the design of their wedding invitations.  It’s probably a good thing that my husband didn’t realize this was an option back when we were choosing our own wedding invitations!  Lauren and Emily drew their inspiration from vintage folk patterns, crewel embroidery, and beer packaging to come up with a whimsical and colorful design.

From Lauren: Emily and Matt had three important ingredients for their wedding: German. Folk. Beer.  In coming up with the design, Emily and I were inspired by vintage folk patterns, specifically old crewelwork and embroidery designs.  The inspiration for the typography came from some of the great beer packaging, specifically Shiner, whose brewery is just outside of Austin.

 

Thanks Lauren!

Lauren + Andrew’s Orange and Gray Fall Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m still feeling kind of cruddy from the cold that I caught last week, so I’m hoping these pretty fall wedding invitations from Stephanie at Salt + Pepper Press will help cheer me up.  I’m loving the warm orange and gray color palette, the classic laurel illustration, and the adorable sketch (from one of the couple’s love notes!) used as a cover for the enclosure that included hotel and activity information.

From Stephanie: The bride and groom were planning a vintage-inspired fall wedding with lots of homemade touches.  We incorporated a typewriter font in the invitation text and RSVP card for a vintage element, while the bright orange and muted warm gray really played up the fall aspect of the wedding.

 

The couple used a sketch that was made on a quick love note from their past as the front cover of the poster.  The poster held all the additional information such as hotels and activities around the wedding.

Thanks Stephanie!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful week!  I actually managed to come down with a bit of a cold this week, so I’m planning to lie low this weekend.  Not very exciting, I know, but definitely necessary every now and then.  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

This week on Oh So Beautiful Paper:

I’ve got an awesome cocktail recipe coming up for you a bit later this afternoon, but otherwise that’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday! xoxo

Sofia + Jeffrey’s Garden-Inspired Silhouette Wedding Invitations

These lovely wedding invitations come to us from Chantal of Papillon Letterpress, an illustrator and letterpress printer based in Ontario, Canada.  Chantal created these illustrated invitations for a summer wedding in Toronto.  Chantal incorporated silhouettes, floral illustrations, and lovebirds to complement the wedding’s garden location.  So pretty!

From Chantal: Sofia and Jeffrey were a dream to work with.  Sofia requested that lovebirds, a silhouette of a couple and certain types of flowers be featured on the invitation and then she let us do our thing.  I illustrated the entire invitation – with a garden theme since they were to be married outdoors at a stately manor in Toronto – and printed the invitation suite myself.  The result is a 3-colour invitation and 2-colour reply card complete with purple envelopes and vintage postage stamps.

Thanks Chantal!  You can check out more lovely wedding invitations from Papillon Letterpress right here!
