Bird and Banner

Have you all seen the new Bird and Banner website?  The lovely ladies behind Bird and Banner, Erin and Nicole, just completed a site re-design, and I’m loving all the new invitations now up on the new site:

{fall-inspired wedding invitation}

This gorgeous, yet completely simple, letterpress wedding invitation from snap + tumble is so pretty I can barely handle it:

Bind-stamp-leaf-pattern-wedding-invitation
Bind-stamp-repeating-leaf-pattern
I love the way this invitation completely evokes the feeling of autumn (when the wedding will take place) while maintaining a simple black and white color palette.  The repeating blind stamp leaf pattern throughout the invitation – including the rsvp card and outer envelopes! – is stunningly beautiful.  Check out more over on snap + tumble right here.

Wedding Reception BBQ Invitations

Illustrator and animator Lillian Chan created these fabulous invitations for her BBQ wedding reception – I love the way her animation skills shine through in the design:

Wedding-invitations-BBQ
I love the hand lettering - and the aprons on the birds are such a great touch.  I also love the instructions to come in flip-flops and bring guitars – sounds like such a fun party!

Chartreuse + Charcoal Wedding Invitations

I love the combination of chartreuse green and charcoal gray – particularly when done in a wonderful whimsical style like these letterpress invitations:

Chartreuse-gray-invitations 

Chartreuse-gray-invitations2 

Chartreuse-gray-invitations3 

Chartreuse-gray-invitations4 

The illustrated scroll designs were hand drawn by the bride (and designer), Kelly.  The full invitation suite included a stand-alone invitation, reception card, rsvp card and envelope (love the matching scroll on the rsvp envelope) as well as an inner and outer envelope.  Gorgeous!  Check out more over at keg design.
