The Laurel wedding invitation is the perfect mix of vintage and modern. The billy balls/billy buttons/ craspedia – whatever you call them - add a little charm to this modern invitation and the gingham backer gives everything a casual outdoorsy feel.
I know billy balls are seen a lot, but I still love them and if you are using yellow, they are such a great way to add a playful spin to otherwise elegant flowers, like roses or peonies.
Nantucket was inspired by, where else, the lovely island of Nantucket. Nautical and chic, but still playful and a little preppy, it's a great theme for any beach wedding invitation. I love the bold navy paired with the subtle grey stripes (I like my grey and I like my stripes, what can I say).
A couple of years ago, we spent a few days in Cape Cod/Nantucket and I loved the elegant, nautical feel and think a wedding in that area might look a little something like this...
Rosemary is a personal favorite of mine with its hand drawn feel, playful typefaces and square layout. The letterpress printing only enhances its sweet features. And while I think the square size is worth every penny in extra postage, you could always order it in a 5x7 layout if you wanted.
I am also learning that I am a sucker for an outdoor black and white wedding. I usually associate black and white with formal, evening weddings, but I quickly learned that doesn't have to be the case. From small accents of sashes or bowties to the beautiful blooms and bridesmaids' dresses, black and white has never been prettier.
The Alys invitation, from the Regal collection, is one of my more classic designs with a unique damask design highlighted at the top. Alys is flat printed, but would look really stunning in letterpress. The damask emblem is intricate but not overdone, and I envision it as being something you could carry through to all of your wedding day stationery.
Inspiration for a mint color scheme wasn't as easy to find, but I did finally come across some really pretty images. It's so beautiful and fresh, and I think we will see it gaining in popularity over the coming months.
I can't get enough of stripes right now, so I couldn't resist creating a striped invitation, and that's where Palmetto came into play. Even though it's fairly elegant in type choices, the unique layout is what put this design in the Fresh Collection.
Stripes, grey and gold (and a hint of the arrows) were my inspiration...
