Ashley + Julian’s Rustic Mexican-Inspired Wedding Invitation
Longtime readers will remember these beautiful invitations inspired by Mexican tile from Lizelly of Lizzy B Loves – and today Lizelly is back with a fresh spin on her design! Working with the bride’s vision, Lizelly adapted her design to achieve a more rustic feel that was further complemented by leather envelopes and a lovebird wax seal. So creative!
From Lizelly: Ashley had a particular style in mind, so we took elements from the popular Mexican tile-inspired invitation and incorporated it into her vision. I designed the main components of the suite, such as the invitation itself, an rsvp card, and the accommodations card. Ashley then sourced the leather envelopes, wax seal, and love-bird milagros.
Thanks Lizelly!

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Escort Card Buttons
I just love the idea of giving your wedding guests a fancied-up name tag to don throughout the day! There are always a lot of names to be learned at a wedding, and these sweet escort card buttons would certainly do the trick! Plus, they act as a special keepsake (read: favor) long after your grand exit. And even if you don’t want to have buttons calligraphed or designed with guests individual names, providing buttons with a special monogram, bridal party roles or even which “side” the guest is there for is a fun way to bring yet another finishing touch for your day! — Kelly

Fletcher’s Simple and Scented Birth Announcements
I’ve heard of scented paper, but this is the first time I’ve seen baby powder scented paper! Lesley from Inclosed Studio used this subtly scented paper for her son Fletcher’s birth announcements, keeping the rest of the design classic and simple with clean blue stripes and gray text. Such a wonderful announcement for a sweet little man!
From Lauren of Inclosed Studio: When Lesley created these announcements for her newborn son, Fletcher, she knew she wanted to use baby powder scented paper. She kept the design clean and simple to match the subtle scent. The design was then letterpress printed in gray and light blue inks on the custom handmade paper. The photo was digitally printed on a felt weave paper to match the texture of the paper.
Thanks Lauren and Lesley!

Bell + Mason’s Black and White Wedding Invitations
These wedding invitations from Jackie at 42 Pressed mix two of my favorite things – classic black and white design with modern geometric patterns! I’m loving the contrast between the script of the wedding invitation and the graphic elements, not to mention the double RSVP cards with space for guests to write a quick note back to the couple. Such a great idea!
From Jackie: This couple was such a blast to work with! They wanted a classy look, but still wanted to play with patterns and textures and have their wedding suite really represent them. The suite was digitally printed on our house stock paper for letterpress, with the exception of the letterpress printed belly band.
The couple wanted to keep the invitations simple and beautiful with certain elements of surprise. We paired a fun kraft belly band of geometric shapes, and used the fun polka dot liners that helped offset the more sophisticated look of the invitations and rsvp cards. They really wanted to pair elegance and whimsy with a strong modern sense.
Two rsvp cards were printed, one for yes and one for no… and then the guests were told to write their names on the appropriate rsvp along with a little note on the back. So fun, right?
Thanks Jackie!
