Stephanie + Trey’s Coral and Aqua Destination Wedding Invitations

Last March, I featured these awesome passport-inspired save the dates for a wedding in the bahamas from Melissa and Amy at Atheneum Creative – and today they’re back with the wedding invitations! Melissa and Amy incorporated the linen from the save the dates, along with a beach-inspired coral and aqua color palette. So beautiful!

From Melissa + Amy: To keep with the style of Stephanie and Trey’s passport save the dates, we brought the linen into the invitation as a backer and stitched the card directly to it. We incorporated watercolor calligraphy on the invitation as well as the welcome party card and lined the envelope with a coral pattern. Overall we wanted to keep the design airy, clean, and flowing to evoke the ocean feel.

Jason + Kellsie’s Music-Inspired Black and White Wedding Invitations

Classic black and white is such a great color palette for a winter wedding – and even better with a touch of gold added in for some sparkle! Alison from One & Only created these lovely wedding invitations for a couple with a deep love of music. The suite features classic script text combined with whimsical details like sheet music envelope liners and a textured gold belly band.

From Alison: Jason and Kellsie’s wedding had a musical theme. Jason is an extremely talented saxophone player, and music is a fundamental part of their relationship – they met at a show where Jason was performing, and he later proposed on stage during another performance. We incorporated music into the design by lining their shiny gold envelopes with sheet music.

I kept the main invitation text heavy with a letterpress printed script font, which added some dimension and texture. The RSVP was also letterpress printed, and I hand lettered the black envelopes with white ink.

The map enclosure served the secondary purpose of holding everything in place. I designed a monogram, and on the back of the flap were hotel recommendations. I also drew a map of where the venue was located, which I printed on vellum and attached to the enclosure with washi tape.

Zachary + Alexandra’s Engagement Dinner Party Invitations

After becoming engaged during a trip to Colorado, Zach and Alexandra’s families wanted to celebrate their upcoming nuptials with a dinner party. They worked with Rux from Lush Prints on the engagement party invitations, incorporating their yellow and gray color palette along with a beautiful custom monogram stamp. Such a fun way to begin an engagement!

From Rux: These dinner invitation for the newly engaged couple Zachary & Alexandra were inspired by two elements: their classic gray and yellow color palette, and their engagement story.  The two became engaged while hiking in the Rocky Mountains during Alexandra’s summer visit to Colorado, where Zach was working as cowboy on a ranch. The view was amazing, so much so they decided to take a quick photo to remember the moment. We included their engagement story into the invitation design by incorporating that candid photo in the mountains. The complete invitation set includes two custom monograms that will be used throughout their engagement events.
