Rebecca + Varun’s Lasercut and Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

The team at Atelier Isabey is known for really intricate wedding invitations, and these New Year’s Eve invitations are no exception! Margot from Atelier Isabey wanted to bring an extra sense of opulence to the design, so she incorporated gold foil and a deep aubergine color palette along with letterpress printing and lasercut details. Gorgeous!

From Margot: For a wedding taking place on New Year’s Eve we decided to bring big drama and opulence to this invitation suite using a variety of mixed media printing techniques and papers. The invitation is printed with a combination of deep letterpress and gold foil and slides inside an ornate aubergine laser cut sleeve.

We also created a one of a kind coat of arms fashioned from meaningful details and symbolism surrounding the couple. The groom was from India so we added details like a peacock (a national symbol of India) and lotus flower on their coat of arms.

The bride on the other hand was from California and went to University of California so we put a regal Golden State bear to symbolize her on the opposite side. Last but not least, he proposed to her on the Rialto bridge in Venice, thus the bridge connecting both sides together symbolically. The final presentation was as luxurious as it was unique!

Samantha + William’s Illustrated Map Destination Wedding Invitations

I thought I’d continue today’s international theme with these travel-inspired invitations for a destination wedding in Costa Rica from Christine of Heritage+Joy. The invitation suite features beautiful maps of the wedding location, a gorgeous lasercut border along the main invitation, and a passport-style booklet with additional information for wedding guests. So pretty!

From Christine: Samantha and William were married at the end of 2012 at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort in Costa Rica. From the very beginning, they wanted a unique and intricate invitation suite that would also carry through their destination wedding theme. We worked together to create a package that contained the formal invitation and an RSVP postcard, as well as a passport booklet of the weekend’s activities.

An illustrated map of Costa Rica, which is first seen in the enclosure, also adorned the backs of various pieces in the suite. We even turned the monogram of William’s last name, written in Chinese, into a compass on the illustrated maps.

The entire suite was letterpress printed on cotton paper by Czar Press (with the exception of the passport booklet, which was digitally printed on the same cotton paper), and the formal invitation card was lasercut with intricate lace detail, adding a very delicate and feminine touch to the suite, which the bride especially wanted. The whole package is tied together with a pink satin ribbon from Midori Ribbon.

NYIGF Winter 2013, Part 7

I love a bit of sparkle in my wardrobe, so I couldn’t resist taking a closer peek at some of the jewelry exhibitors at the NYIGF winter market – and today I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you! First up, I was absolutely thrilled to run into Laura of Prismera – I’m a huge fan and already own several of her nature-inspired pieces. I’m completely in love with all the color that she has incorporated into her collection, from soft pastels to bold hues.

Over in the Handmade section of NYIGF, I stumbled into a shared booth featuring several jewelry lines. I was completely awed by the bold, graphic lasercut jewelry, coasters, and paper prints (!!) from Molly M Designs, along with the delicate fine jewelry from Hortense and modern collections from Paper Wings.

My friend Laurel Denise makes the most beautiful jewelry, from delicate necklaces and bracelets to leather cuffs. She also has a wonderful collection of small vases with sweet phrases printed on the front – they make such sweet gifts!

Erin + Andrew’s Ombre Watercolor and Letterpress Wedding Invitations

I’m constantly amazed at what happens when talented individuals pool their efforts on a single project – and these incredible wedding invitations are no exception.  Photographer Laura Murray sent over the gorgeous invitations for her sister Erin’s wedding.  Erin worked with Roger from Flourish Letterpress and Victoria of Calligraphos to create a custom invitation suite that combines hand painted watercolor (DIY’d by the bride and groom!), letterpress, calligraphy, and even laser cutting!

From Erin, the bride: Ombre, calligraphy, and letterpress printing.  These are three things I adore and all elements that I wanted in my wedding invitation suite.  After we finalized the design, Roger from Flourish Letterpress cut the paper for the save the dates, wedding invitations, and reception cards and passed them off to me to be watercolored in an ombre effect.

My fiancé and I did an ombre wash on all the paper using a mixture of Holbein Artist’ Water Color inks in Jaune Brilliant No. 2, Shell Pink, and Brilliant Pink.  Once everything had dried, we handed the paper back off to Roger for letterpress printing.

 

Roger used Crane Lettra 220# pearl white paper for the invitations and matching 110# Lettra paper for the save the dates and reception card.  Lettra paper is made from 100% cotton, giving it a unique, smooth texture and the ability to absorb the letterpress impression.  We found that this paper took the watercolor well and maintained its ability to really hold the letterpress texture.

From Roger of Flourish Letterpress: I wanted to combine elegance with a slightly rustic feel for the invitation design.  I incorporated the kraft paper for a nice contrast while tying in the feeling of their wedding venue.  I wanted to try something new, so I used my laser engraving abilities to make a paper wrap with the look of lace and also incorporates Erin and Andrew’s initials.  Erin’s ombre watercolor painting really made the lace wrap pop.

 

Lastly, we created a rubber stamp with their wedding logo so they could stamp their logo on the hang tag and envelopes.  It’s a fun, extra element that they could play with and use to customize each piece.

Gah – so amazing!  Thank you so much ladies!

Design and Letterpress Printing: Flourish Letterpress

Calligraphy: Victoria Lane, Calligraphos

Watercolor: DIY by the bride and groom

Giada + Davide’s Kraft Paper and Lace Wedding Invitations

As much as I love bright pops of color, I’m just as easily blown away by a beautiful wedding invitation suite done all in soft and natural colors.  Valentina from Cut and Paste created these beautiful invitations for a recent wedding in Friuli, Italy, combining kraft paper, lace, and even lasercut wood into the wedding invitations and day-of stationery!

From Valentina:  Giada and Davide wanted a soft boho style wedding with lots of little flags and banners.  I created an invitation suite with a natural color palette, incorporating lace, kraft paper, and wood.  The kraft paper invitations were screen printed in white ink with a lace overlay at the top, then paired with white envelopes and kraft paper wrap-around address labels.

For favors, we printed copies of Giada and Davide’s favorite biscuit recipe on kraft paper and bound them to small jars of cinnamon.

 

Lasercut wooden flags served as table numbers, while laser engraved clothespins functioned as place cards.

 

Thanks Valentina!
