Sarah + Winston’s Navy, Gold, and Coral Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Navy and gold is such a classic color combination – but add coral and it instantly becomes modern! Jenny C Design created these invitations for a wedding at an historic casino-turned-museum in upstate New York. The invitations feature details inspired by the museum’s architecture along with bright pops of coral. Jenny even incorporated some sophisticated casino-inspired details into the day-of wedding stationery!

From Jenny: Sarah and Winston’s wedding took place in Saratoga Springs, New York. They both lived in NYC, and about 95% of their guests would be from out of town. They really wanted their wedding invitations to evoke the feeling of their venue – the Historic Canfield Casino – and what fun the entire wedding weekend would be for everyone!

Sarah and Winston were inspired by the history and architecture of the Canfield Casino (once a casino, now the city’s preeminent event space and historical museum). The border on the letterpress invitation and certain design elements throughout the suite are reminiscent of the those architectural details.

The envelope liner and coral edging adds a perfect pop of color! Mini information cards about the rest of the weekend were placed in a fun navy stripe and coral envelope.

We continued the casino inspired theme, in an elegant way, into their day-of stationery items. Sarah and Winston’s ceremony program was shaped liked a deck of cards. On the back was a custom playing card design, with their monogram and design elements from the invitation incorporated into it. Their escort cards were shaped and designed to look like poker chips, displayed with dice glued on the back of each card so they would stand.

Adelina + Blake’s Citrus and Olive Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday! After weeks of holiday-related posts, I’m so excited to get back to my first stationery love: wedding invitations! First up for the week are these whimsical invitations from Kim at Bright Room Studio – the bright color palette is inspired by citrus and olive trees! The invitation suite was letterpress printed in lemon yellow and olive green, with blind impression elements for added texture. Such a sunny wedding invitation for a cold and dreary winter day!

From Kim: Adelina and Blake came to me with a million amazing ideas! They wanted to incorporate their vibrant citrus palette, a rustic yet classic vibe and some fun and unique touches. They got married under a large olive tree and the ceremony site was very special to them, so we used that location as the inspiration for the suite.

The invitation featured a custom illustration of the actual ceremony spot, including the path and hills, which were blind letterpress printed and the big, beautiful tree that framed the text of the invitation, which was letterpress printed in olive green. We then carried the tree texture onto the RSVP card, which was also blind letterpress printed. The subtle textures were accented with a vibrant lemon color ink for the most important information.

For a little added texture, we hand-stamped the couple’s website onto a tag that was tied around the suite with twine. It was then topped off with a custom envelope liner that featured the leaf pattern from the olive tree.

For their big day, we also created a program fan that featured some fun facts about the couple and hand-painted the table numbers on to wood slabs.
