Erika + Andrew’s Modern Nautical Wedding Invitations

Becca from Suite Paperie sent over these fun custom invitations for a wedding in Massachusetts, and I’m loving the festive and modern nautical vibe! Using a classic red, white, and blue color palette, Becca incorporated nautical details like stripes and lobsters with whimsical dots. Too cute!

From Becca: This wedding invitation suite was by far one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in a long time! I actually met Erika via a mutual friend on Twitter, when she was searching for stationers for her wedding. We instantly clicked, and got to working on her “Kate Spade meets Surfer” inspired invitations. Erika, the creative brains behind the blog Radiant Republic, had a vision and we ran with it to come up with the suite below.

We used dots, lobsters, and nautical stripes to keep the design whimsical, while the mix of script and block print typefaces added a touch of sophistication. The invitations were letterpress printed on luxurious 220# cotton Lettra and the rest of the suite was offset printed in navy and coral to match. The set was assembled with cotton twine and finished with a sweet square tag.

Heather’s Creative Calligraphy Wedding Invitations + Holiday Cards

After falling in love with stationery before her June 2011 wedding with Karson Butler Events, Heather decided to infuse her wedding stationery style into a beautiful holiday card. Heather worked with calligrapher Betsy Dunlap to create her wedding invitations, then letterpress printed them herself at a local art studio. For her first holiday card as a newlywed, Heather once again incorporated Betsy’s beautiful calligraphy along with one of her favorite wedding photos from Katie Stoops. Both suites were accented with toile envelope liners and vintage stamps inspired by their historic wedding venue.

From Heather: Our wedding took place at Tuckahoe Plantation in Richmond, Virginia, where my husband – and also Thomas Jefferson – grew up.  With the help of Karson Butler Events, we took wedding inspiration from Tuckahoe itself and, in particular, the blue toile fabric decorating my favorite bedroom in the main house – the toile became the envelope liners and table linens at the wedding.  I learned to letterpress print so that I could create my own invitations using Betsy Dunlap’s lovely calligraphy, which is reminiscent of Thomas Jefferson’s handwriting!

Our wedding was so lovely, I wanted to recreate the feeling (and reuse my new printing skills) in our holiday cards.  So we used the same beautiful “Jeffersonian” script, but this time with red toile liners and a photograph of our wedding from our photographer Katie Stoops.  I had collected vintage stamps from ebay for our wedding and had plenty of Christmas ones left over, which was perfect for our holiday mailing.

From Amber and Emily of Karson Butler Events: When Heather learned how to letterpress print for her June 2011 wedding, we were in awe!  Heather worked with calligrapher Betsy Dunlap to create her custom invitation suite.  Heather then printed her invitations at local art studio Pyramid Atlantic in Silver Spring. Finished with hand-selected vintage stamps and blue toile envelope liners, Heather and Addison’s guests were invited to a gorgeous Southern wedding held at the groom’s childhood home.  To date, it has been one of our favorite weddings to help design.

Jessica + Todd’s Art Deco Letterpress Wedding Invitations

As the days get darker and colder here in DC, I’ve started daydreaming (again) of a beach vacation somewhere warm and tropical.  Jackie from 42 Pressed sent over these beautiful Art Deco-inspired invitations for a winter wedding in Miami, which sounds pretty much perfect to me right now!  Jackie mixed period-appropriate fonts and design elements with a vibrant orange and blue color palette inspired by the beachside wedding venue.

From Jackie: Jessica and Todd are getting married in Miami. They were really going for an art deco feel in their wedding invitation design, while still remaining modern and fun (right up our alley). They wanted to play with a variety of fonts and have their colors really pop.  We went with a range of vintage-inspired fonts combined with some illustrated elements – all letterpress printed in an orange and ocean blue color palette.

Tere + César’s 1920s Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

When it came time to design her own wedding invitations, Monterrey, Mexico-based designer Tere Hinojosa was inspired by her love of all things romantic and 1920s-era Paris.  The resulting wedding invitation suite uses classic fonts and vintage-inspired ornaments in a sophisticated gray and blue color palette.  I’m particularly fond of the unique invitation layout, which – given Tere’s old-fashioned inspiration – was appropriately sealed with gold wax.

From Tere: I’m an artsy and hopeless romantic in love with Alice in Wonderland, whimsy, and Paris in the 1920s. With this mixed inspiration in mind, I spent a lot of time making sure I had found the perfect mix of vintage, rustic, and whimsical design for my wedding invitations.

The design theme revolved around 1920s inspired graphics and the elegant palette of soft blue and dark gray with accents of silver and gold. The invitation suite was letterpress printed on off-white cotton textured paper and sealed with a wax monogram.
