Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! We’re in the middle of a huge heat wave in DC, so we’re doing our best to stay close to air conditioning or hang out in the water to stay cool. I expect we’ll be hanging out at our neighborhood splash pad this weekend! Other than that, my weekend plans consist of getting over to District Doughnut to try their new Everything Bagel Doughnut. Yes, a savory doughnut! I hope you’re all staying cool and have fun weekend plans! But in the meantime…

Navy and White Modern Eclectic Wedding Invitations

These navy and white modern eclectic wedding invitations from Camille of Robinson Paperie combine clean, modern lines inspired by the wedding venue SoDo Park with playful brush lettering on the envelopes! I love the way Camille translated the industrial cement floors and exposed air ducts into an elegant invitation design. The white brush lettering on navy envelopes and gold wax seals are the perfect finishing touches for this suite!

From Camille: I actually had the pleasure of knowing the bride and groom before I started working with them. We all attended the same college and that is where Patrick and Tana met for the first time many years ago! We started Patrick and Tana’s design process by trying to incorporate the look and feel of their wedding venue, SoDo Park. A downtown Seattle venue known for its modern eclectic style, cement floors, and high vaulted ceilings with exposed ducting. It is a lovely venue that doesn’t need a lot of extra decor to feel dark and romantic but modern and elegant at the same time.

I knew that I had to make something bold and beautiful, but also not let it feel like it was overpowering you with too much color or too many soft touches. Their wedding was in the spring, but aside from the time of year, the bride didn’t want to do anything with the traditional florals and watercolor she had been seeing.

So we went on ahead with using the venue as inspiration. With its traditional finishes we stuck with clean lines, lots of white space and one of my favorite fonts of all times, Valencia. Everything was digitally printed on Crane Lettra’s Ecru White. The matte finish of the suite, mixed with a bold geometric pattern of the response card really captured the overall theme and feeling the couple was going for.

The navy guest envelope was finished with a cream brush lettering and an antique gold wax seal which added a touch of whimsy to the whole suite. We also added a rehearsal dinner invitation that mimicked the invitation suite. Overall, the bride and groom were very pleased with how everything came together and felt like it captured their look and feel perfectly!

Calligraphy Inspiration: Emily Rose Ink

Hello friends! I’m super excited to dive into the work of calligrapher Emily Asher of Emily Rose Ink today. It’s summertime, and we’re right in the peak season of being outdoors, where you want pretty things around you that feel fresh and organic, and even maybe a little romantic. That pretty much wraps up Emily’s style of calligraphy. So let’s jump in with a whole dose of lettering work that I think you’ll love. – Jen

Of her inspiration, Emily shares, “I’ve found that I gravitate towards a style that feels romantic and organic but refined, a little imperfect without being too messy. I want my invitations to convey the formality deserving of a wedding without feeling stuffy or too traditional.”

Emily likes to use vintage stamps with her wedding projects. “It’s fun for me to choose stamps that correspond to the couple’s geographical location, their history, or their interests, and they dress up an envelope in a way that makes each guest feel like they are opening a beautifully decorated gift when they receive their invitation.”

“I am definitely inspired by nature and often my invitations have a sense of place – whether it’s a venue illustration or a floral border inspired by the local colors and varieties of flowers that will be used in their wedding,” shares Emily. This is one invitation for a welcome party that I’d want to frame afterwards!

I love this color palette for an invitation suite. That’s such a pretty blue and I love how it pairs with the reds.

“Lately I’ve been doing a lot of venue illustrations – both detailed architectural line drawings and watercolor scenes inspired by the natural beauty of the venue — and I love giving guests a preview of the wedding in this way,” says Emily. “The invitations also then serve as mementos for the couple, pieces of art that they can cherish forever.”

Here’s an example of when subtle is so perfect. The soft gray tones of the lettering and vine illustration on this table card makes the design feel more modern.

Thanks so much to Emily of Emily Rose Ink for sharing a peek of her work. See you soon, friends!

Funky Art-Deco Gold Foil and Floral Wedding Invitations

A little party never hurt nobody! We’re loving these modern and funky art-deco gold foil and floral wedding invitations from Jennifer of Society Paper Goods. Geometric patterns, adorable hand lettering, and glamorous gold foil – it’s all there folks! The multifunctional coaster details cards are the perfect way to toast to the happy couple before the celebration!

Funky Art-Deco Gold Foil and Floral Wedding Invitations by Society Paper Goods

From Jennifer: This stationery suite was designed for a couple who was planning a glamorous, Old Hollywood-inspired fall wedding. We had a completely blank slate to create stationery that gave guests a fabulous first impression of their special day and did so through bold colors and metallics, “statement” pieces, delicate letterpress details, and cohesive packaging.

Funky Art-Deco Gold Foil and Floral Wedding Invitations by Society Paper Goods

We loved the idea of a black invitation with white and gold foil! It seemed like the perfect statement piece in a world of often white or ivory invitations. The bride and groom’s names were handwritten just for this project (this special handwritten lettering found its way onto other pieces like the details card, RSVP card, save the date, and program).

In lieu of a traditional details card, we chose to die-cut the card into the shape of a coaster; we knew this wedding was going to be a party and maybe even reminiscent of Gatsby’s great parties! The coaster, featuring an art deco border, was first letterpress printed by Elefant Press in Dallas and then sent to Saint Louis to be gold foil printed and cut.

The RSVP card showcases another “statement” in the visual pattern on the front side. It too was letterpress printed in Dallas and sent to Saint Louis for foil printing and finishing. We completed the invitation suite with emerald green velvet ribbon, hand-sewn by the bride’s mother herself, and floral envelope liner, both strong features of the overall look of the wedding. Lauren Saylor at A Fabulous Fete added her gorgeous calligraphy to put the beautiful finishing touches on this invitation suite.

The save the date, featuring childhood photos of the bride and groom, also showcased the handwritten lettering from the invitation suite.

The day-of stationery included whimsical menu placemats, patterned table numbers, floral signage, and a bold, black program featuring the couple’s monogram which was foil-stamped on the cover.

Understated and Elegant Cream and Gold Wedding Invitations

These elegant cream and gold wedding invitations by Megan of Ruby the Fox combine woodsy details with feminine glamour – all inspired by the wedding venue on the groom’s family farm in Maryland! A letterpress-printed woodgrain pattern, gold foil text, gold glitter envelope liners, and delicate calligraphy are just a few of the special touches in this invitation suite.

From Megan: When Kate, the bride-to-be, reached out to me to design custom wedding invitations and day-of paper accessories for her Baltimore wedding, I knew it would be a treat. I love working closely with couples on bespoke paper suites that truly reflect their personalities and the look and feel of their wedding day! Both the bride and groom are from Maryland, and they got married at the groom’s family farm.

Elegant Cream and Gold Wedding Invitations by Ruby the Fox

Kate knew she wanted something feminine and elegant but felt strongly about bringing in a “woodsy” element to keep in mind in her fiancé’s interests. To combine those two looks, we went with a blind faux bois pattern printed on double-thick soft white cotton paper on the main invitation as well as a gold foil printed logo featuring antlers and the couple’s initials! The rest of the elements were printed on 110lb cotton paper with a combination of dove gray letterpress and gold foil. The result was super luxe and beautifully tactile.

Subtle touches of blush were incorporated through the outer and reply envelopes as well as a satin ribbon on the program. We also brought in custom spot hand calligraphy as well as gold hand calligraphy on the outer envelopes to keep everything super custom. Although the bride was very aware of involving her fiancé and his likes/dislikes, we couldn’t resist using a bit of sparkle (ahem, gold glitter envelope liners and backers for the menus!) to keep things glam. It was the perfect amount of sparkle! We carried the antler logo throughout the entire paper suite which made for a beautiful, cohesive look.

The final result was understated, feminine, and organic, which was the perfect combination for the couple’s upscale, chic farm wedding! This suite was so much fun to design and it ended up being one of my favorites from the season.
