Modern Preppy Letterpress Wedding Invitations

I’m so glad that Martha Stewart has created an online database for the amazing real weddings featured in the magazine over the years.  The wedding of Tasha and DW Gibson, particularly the wedding stationery, is one of my all-time favorites.  It’s even more amazing when you consider that they planned the wedding in only five months:

Invite - MSWeddings

I adore the fold-out layout of this invitation and subtle use of pattern.  According to MS Weddings, “the bride wanted her wedding to feel like a garden in sunshine, so the invitation and itinerary (with perforated RSVP card) were letterpressed in moss green and golden yellow ink.”

I love the use of detail – the scallop edge and ribbon are just too cute…

PlaceCards - MS Weddings

For those of you looking for escort card or place card ideas, this is a great one!  And even if typewriter keys aren’t your thing, you could easily use vintage buttons or another small object and type or hand-write the table number assignment at the end of the paper.

Orange and Gray Wedding Invitation Ideas

When I posted about this orange and gray wedding over the weekend, a reader commented that she was considering the same palette for her wedding and was trying to figure out if the color combination would work.  So I thought I’d look around for some additional orange and gray inspiration to see if I could help out.  Here’s what I found:

Betsywhite Stationery Boutique

I’m still playing catch-up from this week, but wanted to pass along some information regarding a new online stationery boutique called betsywhite.  Gia Graham, the founder and brainchild of betsywhite, e-mailed me earlier in the week to let me know about her new venture — here’s what she had to say:

Because we understand that all brides cannot afford high-end custom invitations, our goal is to offer brides a stylish alternative. We offer wedding stationery, wedding logos and other social stationery such as party invites, baby announcements and personalized note cards.

Betsywhite offers fun and modern designs for brides on a budget — here are a few examples of betsywhite designs, including a few of my favorites:

A Gray and Orange Wedding

I love these orange poppy invitations created by Ephemera Press for a July wedding in Washington State.  I'm sure the bride & groom were hoping for cloudless, sunny skies on their wedding day, but I love the contrast between the bright colors, particularly the orange of the invitations and flowers, with the overcast skies:
