{happy weekend!}

What a strange week!  From some crazy thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic area last weekend to the middle-of-the-week holiday, this week felt like a whirlwind from start to finish.  I’m looking forward to a low key weekend and hoping to escape the DC heat as much as possible.  I’m heading out a bit early today, but in the meantime…

Woah.  How is it the last week of June already??  Slow down summer!  We’re preparing for another scorcher of a weekend here in DC, but I’m planning to spend most of the weekend indoors with nursery projects – from painting to putting the crib together!  After thinking about the layout for weeks, I’m so excited to see the room finally come together.  But in the meantime…

Nancy + Guy’s Modern Navy and White Wedding Invitations

It’s so fun to see designers expand their horizons with each new project.  Virginia and Mishayla of Plane Paper specialize in laser-cut greeting cards and stationery, but recently took on a custom wedding invitation design project.  They created a modern chevron-inspired design for both the invitation and laser-cut envelope, partnering with their studiomate Repeat Press to letterpress print the invitation suite.

From Virginia and Mishayla: Nancy and Guy wanted a wedding suite that would remain timeless, yet have a modern edge.  We combined a bold, graphic chevron pattern with a serif font and traditional wording – all in classic navy blue.

We designed a laser-cut envelope, our signature element, again incorporating the chevron pattern.  The envelope was tied with a letterpress tag with the reception location and wedding website.  Yellow baker’s twine added a pop of summer color and sense of playfulness to the suite.

We also designed ‘day-of’ elements, specifically flags wrapped around yellow and white paper straws.  Both the flag and tag used the ‘v’ of the chevron to allude to their respective, familiar silhouettes.

Oh, you guys… this was a rough week.  Just lots of stress from start to finish, including a semi-emergency vet visit for one of our cats (fingers crossed he’s going to be just fine) – but it’s the kind of week that makes me want to turn off all phones/computers and hibernate for a few days.  So I’m signing off for the weekend and hoping for a fresh start next week.  But in the meantime…
