Hannah + Young’s Modern Destination Wedding Invitations

This gorgeous destination wedding invitation from Curious & Company might be one color, but with beautiful calligraphy from Neither Snow and subtle texture details from the letterpress printing the design rises to a whole new level.  Brooke from Curious & Company sent over this lovely invitation created for a destination wedding in Lake Las Vegas, Nevada – take a look!

From Brooke: Hannah came to us looking for an invitation suite that would highlight the Lake Las Vegas location of her wedding, while not being overly “destination-y” in terms of design, and also taking her budget into consideration.  We worked with a lovely shade of blue, created patterns to reflect her modern style and show off the letterpress texture, and also worked in a subtle map motif of Lake Las Vegas.

Calligraphy from the talented Mara of Neither Snow was the perfect accent that we worked into the invitation and two response postcards – one for the wedding, and another for the day-after brunch.

Printed by Cleanwash Letterpress, this suite is a wonderful example of how a one color letterpress suite can still be beautiful and interesting without the cost of additional ink colors.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you all have anything fun planned for this weekend?  I’ve been busy this week making lots of changes to my apartment in preparation for some bigger changes over the next couple of weeks, and my Dad is coming down from New Jersey to help with some of the two-person tasks.  It’s so nice to have him relatively close by, particularly while my husband is overseas, and I’m looking forward to some quality family time.  But in the meantime…

Modern Copper + Gray Engagement Party Invitations

I have a secret love for anything that sparkles – including glitter!  Elpitha from Print in Cursive sent over these invitations that she recently printed for an upcoming engagement party.  The invitation was letterpress printed in shades of gray to reflect the chilly winter weather in Salt Lake City, and then hand glittered for just a bit of sparkle!

From Elpha: This engagement invitation is greatly influenced by the bride’s sense of style and the subtle color landscape of chilly winter weather.  Magda wanted her invitation to be fun and casual, with a little bit of sparkle.  Each invitation was printed in 4 runs on the press using extra thick cotton Lettra stock and then hand glittered in copper to match the envelope.

Silhouette Telegram Letterpress Wedding Invitations

How adorable are these telegram wedding invitations?  These invitations were printed by Brisbane, Australia-based studio Bespoke Letterpress for the bride, Fiona, a graphic designer who was super-excited to design her own wedding invitations.  Fiona was inspired by her grandmother’s personal telegrams, and from from the kissing silhouettes at the top to the vintage-inspired telegram layout – I’m loving the entire design.

Charlotte + Erik’s Winter Snowflake Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  It’s too soon to celebrate the end of winter, but at least here in DC this weekend definitely felt like a step towards spring – rainy, wet, and warm enough that I didn’t need a scarf and gloves all weekend.  But since it is definitely still winter, these gorgeous pink and gray wedding invitations (for a wedding right here in DC!) from Sarah at Parrott Design Studio are the perfect way to start off the week!

Pink-Gray-Letterpress-Winter-Snowflake-Wedding-Invitations

From Sarah: The design was inspired by falling snow, the warm glow of candle light, and delicate lace, as well as the open and light-filled space of their reception venue.  The design included intricate, blind deboss snowflakes, with light gray and pink inks.  The suite included the invitation, RSVP, and small web card.  I also printed program covers and menus with the same design.  Calligraphy was done by DC-based calligrapher Michele of Meant to be Calligraphy in her “Jackson” style.  The wedding took place in DC at the Holy Trinity Church followed by the reception at the Fairmont Hotel.
