Ilana + Gregg’s Modern Outdoorsy Wedding Invitations

I featured the outdoors-inspired save the dates of Ilana from Sugar and Type over the summer – and I’m so excited that Ilana is back today with her wedding invitations! Ilana continued the playful outdoor vibe from the save the dates, combining modern design elements with kraft paper envelopes and plaid patterns!

From Ilana: When we started planning our wedding, we knew it’d be playful and outdoors, and it was so fun to apply that vision to our invitations and wedding stationery. We wanted the wording to be friendly, casual, and a bit silly. I used kraft paper envelopes with a custom plaid liner to match Gregg and his groomsmen’s shirts.

We definitely wanted to include a map since our ceremony was in the middle of a park and we didn’t want anyone to get lost! We included an itinerary for our out of town guests, and a list of our favorite places waiting for them in their hotel room when they arrived so they could explore the area! We really wanted a cohesive feel with our save the dates, so we took the one bike from that piece and added a second bike to symbolize our journey together.

  The fun part was the text messages and phone calls we got asking “should we dress like we’re going to play with puppies in the park, or for a wedding?” We had a great and fun day and I can’t wait to share more pictures from it!

Alison + Nathaniel’s Art Nouveau Garden Wedding Invitations

These beautiful wedding invitations from Brynne at Harken Press mix botanical details with Art Nouveau elements for a garden wedding at a private estate. I’m particularly in love with that gorgeous envelope liner and pops of coral!

Art-Nouveau-Garden-Wedding-Invitations-Harken-Press-OSBP

From Brynne: I worked with Alison and Nathaniel to create wedding stationery that complements their charming garden ceremony at a private estate in Topsfield, Massachusetts. They wanted to include outdoors elements but also highlight the cottage-style architecture of the historic mansion estate. My goal was to balance the natural and rustic botanical elements with an elegant Art Nouveau look.

The invitation and reply card were letterpress printed, while the guest info card with hand drawn map on the backside were digital printed.

Seasonal Stationery: 2015 Calendars, Part 1

I look forward to calendar season all year long – and it’s finally here! I’ve started putting together my annual calendar round up, and of course I had to share a few favorites here. This group of calendars will inspire you to do everything from travel to a far away land to mix up a new cocktail!

2015 Calendar Round Up by Oh So Beautiful Paper

1. This travel calendar from Rifle Paper Co. makes me want to go back to Italy! And a bunch of other places…

2. A write-on calendar from one of my favorite artists – Rob Ryan

3. Yay for cocktails! Calendar by redcruiser

4. This matchbook-style calendar from Belle & Union functions like a monthly-calendar-meets-notepad

5. Culinary inspiration from around the world in this monthly calendar from Little Low

6. Idlewild Co. has three unique calendars this year – but I love this kaleidoscope of flowers version best

7. This monthly calendar from Linda & Harriett can be repurposed as gift wrap after each month! I also really love this year’s installment of her annual letterpress calendar.

You can check out the full 2015 calendar round up right here – and I’ll be back to share more favorites as they become available!
