Seersucker + Letterpress Wedding Invitations

I just cannot stop staring at these gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations, designed by the ladies at Ice Cream Social and printed by Gilah Press:

The crisp red + white color palette is perfect for a summer wedding – but can we just talk about the details for a minute?  The seersucker fabric pouch with the gocco-printed apple + peach tag? The little red polka dots on the back of the rsvp postcard?  The darling monogram (and I’m not usually a huge monogram person) inspired by vintage fruit wrappers? Love, love, love.

{woodgrain + country-inspired letterpress invitations}

So it turns out that some of you have already used the embossed woodgrain paper from Gmund – excellent!  Spark Stationery sent over photos of this letterpress pocket invitation that they printed for an upcoming winter wedding:

I love the way the woodgrain texture complements the silver and blue palette of the invitations.  And since I was poking around on the Spark Stationery blog, I couldn't help but also include these country-inspired wedding invitations:

These gorgeous invitations feature fabric and stitching details – and I'm completely in love with the faux-cross-stitched detail in the font used for the names.  Very cool.

Cheree Berry’s Modern Floral Wedding Invitations

Love, love the wedding invitations that Cheree Berry designed for her own wedding last year:

Cheree-Berry-Wedding-Invitations

Cheree-Berry-Seating-Card

Cheree-Berry-Favor-Bags

Via Martha, Cheree’s guests opened their mailboxes to find: “creamy envelopes addressed in swirls of red calligraphy… different printing techniques (including engraving and letterpress), unexpected touches (the origami chart of St. Louis attractions), and fanciful details (the bee on the reply card).”   I’m particularly fond of the color palette of red, orange, and robin’s egg blue, not to mention all the amazing details in this modern wedding invitation suite.  So lovely!

You can see more of Cheree’s work on her website, as well as here, here, and here – and more details from her beautiful wedding right here.

Non-traditional Wedding Invitations

I love, love, love this wedding invitation featured today over at iDIY.  This invitation doesn’t have any fancy graphics, just a simple layout that uses typography and newspaper-esque graphics to tell an incredibly sweet story:
