Cheree Berry’s Modern Floral Wedding Invitations

Love, love the wedding invitations that Cheree Berry designed for her own wedding last year:

Cheree-Berry-Wedding-Invitations

Cheree-Berry-Seating-Card

Cheree-Berry-Favor-Bags

Via Martha, Cheree’s guests opened their mailboxes to find: “creamy envelopes addressed in swirls of red calligraphy… different printing techniques (including engraving and letterpress), unexpected touches (the origami chart of St. Louis attractions), and fanciful details (the bee on the reply card).”   I’m particularly fond of the color palette of red, orange, and robin’s egg blue, not to mention all the amazing details in this modern wedding invitation suite.  So lovely!

You can see more of Cheree’s work on her website, as well as here, here, and here – and more details from her beautiful wedding right here.

Wood Veneer Wedding Programs

I’m loving these rustic, yet elegant wood veneer and raw silk wedding ceremony programs, found via So You’re EnGayged:

Wood-veneer-raw-silk-wedding-ceremony-programs

Wood-veneer-raw-silk-wedding-ceremony-programs-2

Made by Willi Nilli, the programs feature two separate elements for the ceremony and wedding party.  The order of the ceremony is printed onto a sheet of cherry wood veneer as the main component of the program, while the names of the wedding party are printed onto raw silk tied around a twig.  Isn’t the pairing of raw silk with wood veneer such a lovely combination?

Pop-Up Business Cards

I spent some time over the weekend going through my archive of favorite posts from different blogs – and I came across these 3D pop-up business cards:

3d-pop-up-business-card

3d-pop-up-business-card-2

These cards were designed by and for a graphic design student, but I think the pop-up concept could be applied to just about any creative person or business.

Oh, and remember how I said that I’d love to see more stitching in business cards?  Well, I also came across these lovely cards for photographer Amelia Lyon, letterpress printed by The Mandate Press:

Amelia-lyon-stitched-letterpress-business-card

There is so much going on with these cards – double-sided letterpress, painted edges, kraft paper wraparound with contact information and adhered via stitching… whew!  I could stare at these for days – it all works so fabulously together!
