Drew + Kyle’s Floral Fall Wedding Invitations

Winter may be coming, but I’m doing my best to hold on to fall for as long as possible. Johanna from Arbor Corner Studio sent over these lovely eggplant purple wedding invitations that she created for a September wedding. Johanna incorporated a floral motif that complemented the classic type and layout. So pretty!

From Johanna: Drew and Kyle have a classic sense of style, with touch of modern. The main wedding accent color was a beautiful eggplant purple, just perfect for a September wedding! Their wedding was very formal, and their reception a big party! Drew wanted a new twist on a floral design, so I designed a floral motif that could be used throughout the wedding materials.

We paired the invitation with an eggplant envelope. Drew addressed the envelopes with a champagne-colored metallic pen. The simple one-color letterpress invitation suite and programs perfectly complemented the style of their fall wedding.

Megan + Mike’s Whimsical Pink and Gold Confetti Wedding Invitations

After sending out their seaside save the dates, Megan and Mike decided to go in a more celebratory direction for their wedding invitations. Nichole from Coral Pheasant created a vibrant design inspired by Kate Spade, champagne, and confetti. The invitation suite was letterpress printed in bright pink and gold foil – these invitations practically sparkle!

From Nichole: Megan loves Kate Spade and all things paper – a girl after my own heart! She knew right away that she wanted her wedding invitations to reflect the playful aesthetic of Kate Spade. The result was the epitome of all things fun and celebratory: champagne, chevron pattern, and confetti in shades of punchy pink and gold.

The invitation combines a playful script font with a quirky serif and gold confetti. The individual pieces are a mix of letterpress and gold foil on heavy weight cotton Lettra paper, with the main invitation edge tinted in bright pink for an extra pop of color.

The individual pieces were stacked according to size and tied with a navy silk ribbon. The topmost item was a pink coin envelope with a gold glitter wedding website card – a simple piece that delighted everyone when they opened the envelope!

In researching ideas for Megan and Mike’s invitation, I came upon a quote from Jane Austen’s Emma. It reads: “It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightly must marry no one but herself!” I had already incorporated the arrow as a graphic element and the quote paired beautifully with the design with one slight modification: Mr. Knighly was replaced with the groom’s last name. It was a perfect fit! We incorporated the quote into the chevron pattern envelope liner.

Megan + Mike’s Seaside Photo Save the Dates

Happy Monday everyone! Have you recovered from your Thanksgiving food coma yet? I’m still a bit groggy myself, but I’m thrilled to be starting the week off with Megan and Mike’s gorgeous wedding stationery from Nichole at Coral Pheasant – starting first with their save the dates! Nichole created a fun trifold design incorporating their save the date photos, but I’m particularly smitten with the unique envelope layout!

From Nichole: Megan and Mike’s sea­side engage­ment pho­tos were the jump­ing off point for their save the date inspi­ra­tion. To bring in an ele­ment of play­ful­ness and dis­cov­ery, I cre­ated two pock­ets by sewing the enve­lope in half. One side housed a tri-fold card of their pho­tos and the other side ­contained a card with their wed­ding web­site infor­ma­tion.

A striped fuch­sia enve­lope liner coor­di­nated with the fuch­sia stitch­ing and quirky cal­lig­ra­phy by Crys­tal Kluge com­pleted the look. How could you not be excited to reserve the date for this dar­ling duo?!

Day-of Wedding Stationery: Favor Tags + Labels

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I found it fitting to feature a few fun ways to give thanks to your wedding guests today. Providing a favor at your wedding is a wonderful way to say “Thank You” to everyone who traveled to celebrate your marriage with you. Luckily favors come in all shapes, sizes and price points today, but they all look even more thoughtful when paired with a sweet little tag or custom label. This paper adornment can feature your monogram, wedding date or names, or it can simply say “Thanks!” for joining us. — Kelly
