{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Time is still kind of relative with a one month-old newborn at home, but this weekend really snuck up on me!  This was my husband’s last week of paternity leave, so we’ve been trying to squeeze in some fun activities around DC before he goes back to work.  Luckily Sophie loves to be in the Ergo and pretty much sleeps through an entire outing.  I’ll admit to being kind of nervous about being on my own with Sophie during the day starting next week, but hopefully we’ll get the hang of things without too much trouble.  I’ll find out soon!  But in the meantime…

Adrienne + Josh’s Tiffany Blue Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

I’m always a fan of wedding invitations with calligraphy, and even more so when a designer pairs calligraphy with a gorgeous color palette like Tiffany blue and coral pink!  Designer and calligrapher Holly Hollon created these classic wedding invitations, incorporating her calligraphy throughout the suite – from the names of the bride and groom to whimsical

From Holly:  Adrienne’s wedding theme was inspired by Tiffany’s.  She loves the Tiffany blue color and all her flowers we going to be shades of pink.  I used lots of the blue and pink as an accent for her paper.

She loves calligraphy, so I did their names in calligraphy and the rest of the type was neatly blocked off for a more modern and clean feel.  A wedding logo was created with a small whimsy doodle and a block font to tie back to the design of the invitation.

Alison + Nick’s Whimsical Screen Printed Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  I’ve had the pleasure of featuring some of the illustrated nautical wedding invitations from Diane at Faye + Co., and I’m thrilled to be starting the week with this whimsical invitation suite.  I’m loving the bold color palette featuring orange ink screen printed on navy paper – and of course Diane’s gorgeous lettering!

From Diane: This wedding invitation suite uses hand-drawn lettering and a touch of floral graphics on the envelope liner.  Alison and Nick wanted something unique to fit the style of their celebration.  The invitation and rsvp card  were screen printed using gray and orange inks on navy blue stock.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  We enjoyed our first cool and crisp week here in DC – fall has definitely arrived and I couldn’t be happier!  We took Sophie to pick out a couple of pumpkins from our favorite pick-your-own farm in the area, although of course she slept through everything.  We’re getting more comfortable taking longer excursions outside and I’m looking forward to taking Sophie for walks around our neighborhood – particularly now that the leaves are starting to change.  But in the meantime…

Sarah + Ryan’s Bright Hand-Lettered Wedding Invitations

This bright and colorful wedding invitation suite from Alison of Love Citron features two of my favorite things – watercolor and whimsical hand lettering.  Alison began by creating the lettering for the invitation suite, then added watercolor washes on both the invitation elements and accompanying ceremony programs. Alison selected bright pink and orange envelopes and patterned liners to complete the design.  So pretty!

From Alison: Everything in this wedding suite is handmade. I hand lettered all of the text and edge painted the programs. We used bright accents, like hot pink envelopes lined with patterned paper and bright orange vellum response envelopes.

I also wanted to include watercolor elements, so I painted the lettering on the RSVP. I also did watercolor washes on the ceremony programs and each individual element of the invitation suite.
