Wood Veneer Wedding Programs

I’m loving these rustic, yet elegant wood veneer and raw silk wedding ceremony programs, found via So You’re EnGayged:

Made by Willi Nilli, the programs feature two separate elements for the ceremony and wedding party.Â The order of the ceremony is printed onto a sheet of cherry wood veneer as the main component of the program, while the names of the wedding party are printed onto raw silk tied around a twig.Â Isn’t the pairing of raw silk with wood veneer such a lovely combination?

Garden-inspired Wedding Details

You're going to see photos from this wedding everywhere – and that's because Laura and Ben's wedding is truly beautiful and even a little bit magical – but I couldn't resist sharing some of my favorite details here:

{beautiful floral + butterfly motif invitations}

{ceremony programs with a lovely bird illustration}

{escort cards with hand-stamped butterflies}

{table numbers nestled in geranium centerpieces}

Laura + Ben's wedding will be featured in the upcoming issue of MS Weddings, but if you can't wait until then, you can find photos and additional details here, here, here, and here.

{wedding program fans}

I love the idea of having fans serve as wedding programs – and these programs from Anna Melcon Bond of Rifle Design are particularly lovely:

You can check out more of Anna's work over at her blog and the rifle design website.

{origami business card}

This fold-out presentation/business card (made with origami paper) from Raquel Quevedo is way cool:

{the card arrives folded up into a small triangle}

{the card then unfolds to reveal the designer's contact info}

{once unfolded to its full size, the card reveals a series of dots to be connected…}

{…with a hidden message to the reader!}

So clever – I love this design! You can see more photos, as well as more of her design work, from Raquel's portfolio right here.

NSS – Booth round-up, part six

So for those of you still reading blogs on this lovely holiday Monday, I figured I'd put up my last two NSS booth round-up posts for you!

First up, Binth, whose booth was full of gorgeous cards and art prints:

I love this handcrafted baby book…

.and this deck of completely redesigned playing cards! I particularly love the redesigned face cards (like the jack, queen and king) for each suit, and the way the odd number cards are redesigned to fit together in a more organic way, like the seven of hearts below:

Another favorite booth was from Pikku, whose colorful + patterned textiles and paper goods just made me smile:

{love these wrapping papers!}

{these eco-friendly letterpress calendars adhere to screen-printed birchwood planks – once the year is over, you can either hand the birchwood as artwork or order a refill with next year's dates!}

Next up, the bright + bold designs of Dutch Door Press:

{look closely for a sneak peek at the dutch door 2010 calendar!}

{gorgeous wedding invitations!}

Red Cap Cards used whimsical illustrations with a definite sense of humor throughout their NSS collection:

{love those prints!}

Celebrating their 10th year in business – and 9th year at the NSS! – the Egg Press booth was full of lovely paper goods, from a sneak peek at the 2010 calendar to holiday cards:
