Inspired By: Gold Foil

The resurgence of gold foil is hands down one of my favorite design trends this year.  Foil comes in a myriad of colors (as you saw from Fig. 2 Design Studio on Monday), but gold foil will always have a special place in my heart.  Gold foil can be a big and bold statement or a subtle detail depending on the project and design, but it looks great on everything from wedding invitations to baby announcements to business cards and everything in between.  Gold foil also looks fantastic whether on its own, paired with a classic black and white design, or combined with lots of bright color!

Giada + Davide’s Kraft Paper and Lace Wedding Invitations

As much as I love bright pops of color, I’m just as easily blown away by a beautiful wedding invitation suite done all in soft and natural colors.  Valentina from Cut and Paste created these beautiful invitations for a recent wedding in Friuli, Italy, combining kraft paper, lace, and even lasercut wood into the wedding invitations and day-of stationery!

From Valentina:  Giada and Davide wanted a soft boho style wedding with lots of little flags and banners.  I created an invitation suite with a natural color palette, incorporating lace, kraft paper, and wood.  The kraft paper invitations were screen printed in white ink with a lace overlay at the top, then paired with white envelopes and kraft paper wrap-around address labels.

For favors, we printed copies of Giada and Davide’s favorite biscuit recipe on kraft paper and bound them to small jars of cinnamon.

 

Lasercut wooden flags served as table numbers, while laser engraved clothespins functioned as place cards.

 

Thanks Valentina!

Lauren + Daniel’s Country Elegance Fabric Pocket Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week off with a beautiful suite of wedding invitations from recent bride Lauren – Lauren worked with Lesley from Inclosed Studio for both the design and letterpress printing of her wedding invitations.  I love the clean and simple invitation design paired with fabric pockets and a few bright pops of color!

From Lauren: Our wedding took place in a barn in rural Iowa.  We were going for classic country elegance with lots of DIY details.  Lesley at Inclosed Studio blew us away with her creativity and attention to detail.  The invitations were composed of three detail cards and an RSVP postcard – all letterpress printed by Lesley.  A fabric pocket encased the cards perfectly.


We loved the combination of the elegance of the letterpress design paired with the rustic hand-sewn pocket.  Several fabric patters were chosen for the pocket in keeping with our wedding colors of red and tan.  The variety of fabrics and patterns made each invitation different and special.

 

The fabric was a huge inspiration for the rest of our decor decisions.  I took the extra pocket fabric mixed with other patterns to create banners for the eating area.  They looked so pretty blowing in the breeze!  The day was full of love and laughter and we are so thankful to Lesley for setting the tone for a perfect day with these beautiful invitations.

Thanks Lauren!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s finally starting to feel like fall here in DC; the leaves are changing colors everywhere and the skies have been mostly gray and rainy the last few days.  I think it’s all beautiful, and I love listening to the rain while I sit at my computer all day.  Right now I’m looking forward to a quick trip up to New York for a few days for Bridal Market – it’ll be nice to get out of DC for a couple of days!  But in the meantime…

Michelle + Rob’s Orange Floral Marriage Announcements

So what do you do if you elope but still want to have a party to celebrate your marriage?  Send out marriage announcements to spread the happy news!  That’s exactly what Michelle and Rob did, and they enlisted Alison from Love Citron to come up with the design for their announcements.  Alison incorporated Michelle’s favorite color – orange – with a bright and happy floral design.  Just perfect for such a happy announcement!

From Alison: Since they eloped, Michelle and Rob wanted a special way of telling their friends and family that while they were still planning a party to celebrate their marriage, they were actually already married! Michelle’s only request was that the color orange be involved somehow, since she loves orange flowers.  I came up with a modern orange flower design against a pale gray background.  We went with digital printing, but on a glossy stock, which lent it depth and made it look a little more luxe.

Thanks Alison!
