Wedding Invitations – Pistachio Press

Pistachio Press has been one of my favorite letterpress design studios since I started this ol’ blog back in 2008 (almost two years ago, wohoo!).  Rachael and her husband Jake operate Pistachio Press up in Rochester, New York, where Rachael designs and prints wedding invitations, letterpress stationery, and limited edition art prints.

I finally had the pleasure of meeting Rachael and Jake in person at this year’s National Stationery Show, and I’m thrilled to be featuring her wedding invitation collection today!  Rachael recently added two new collections to her existing line, which I’ll feature a little bit later.  But first, a few of my favorites from the Pistachio Press Signature Collection!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Wow, I don’t know about you, but this week just totally flew by for me!  After one busy week and with expectations for another one next week, I’m definitely looking forward to a relaxing weekend.  If you’re looking for a bit more papery goodness this week, check out my second California wedding invitation post over at the haystack needle!  Otherwise, I’m off to go meet up with a friend about a fun new project that we’re working on (I can’t wait to tell you all about it!) and get started on the weekend.  But in the meantime…

Wedding Day-After Brunch Invitations

For Lindsay and Oren’s day-after wedding brunch invitations, Tova wanted to continue the modern design theme, but this time decided to go with something a bit lighter and more fitting for a Sunday brunch.  Using a bright yellow floral design and the gorgeous Nelly Script font for Lindsay and Oren’s names, the resulting invitation is full of happiness and sunshine!

From Tova: We wanted to create something contemporary, like the couple, but still pretty and “brunch-y.”  The open areas of the flower illustration printed amazingly, leaving an incredible tactile impression that I can’t stop touching.

The Nelly Script added a softness that meshes beautifully with the event.  We used bright white, 110lb. cotton lettra for the invitation, which like the rehearsal dinner invitation was printed by Patrick Masterson, and paired it with a cheery yellow envelope, which we printed “tone-on-tone” in sunshine-colored ink.  Happy and fun!

So, so beautiful – I love the yellow-on-yellow printing on the envelopes!  You can check out more of Tova’s past work here, and contact Tova here!

Modern Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

Happy Monday everyone!  I have two gorgeous invitations to help start off your week – invitations to a wedding rehearsal dinner, and then the invitations to the day-after brunch – both from Tova Glenn at Brighten My Day Studio and printed by Patrick Masterson.

First up, the rehearsal dinner invitations in a gorgeous chartreuse and gray color palette.  Tova incorporated a woven pattern into the design inspired by the modern décor at the rehearsal dinner venue, the James Hotel in downtown Chicago:

From Tova: We played off the look-and-feel of the James Hotel, a very modern, clean hotel with beautiful vintage patterns throughout the décor.  We all fell in love with the lines of the woven pattern, and mixed up the old-meets-new by pairing a classic serif font with a bold and modern sans-serif typeface.

The stock on both cards was a double thick museum board, and we paired it with a chartreuse envelope.

Gorgeous!  Check back a bit later for the equally-beautiful brunch invitations!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s so hot and humid at the moment here in DC that I can’t really think about anything other than giant iced teas and air conditioning.  I would wish for a hammock like the one below, but it’s almost too hot even for that!  Hopefully it’s a bit cooler where you are and you can get outside to enjoy your weekend.  But in the meantime…
