Font Friday: Borba

Borba caught my eye immediately. I love a good clean narrow font, but what I love most are the rounded letters. Love that 'A'!

You can purchase Borba here and it's on sale! It's usually $20, which isn't bad, but now until June 1, it's only $16!

Meet Searose

Searose is classic and elegant in every way and is a truly timeless design. This design was my best friend's wedding invitation 3 years ago, and we both still love it (you can see her version in my custom gallery). Searose is flat printed in the sample, but would also look exceptional if letterpress printed. Because fonts can be substituted, you could really create a completely different look with your favorite script font. Envelopes are another great way to customize your invitation suite...

I paired the light kraft colors with a light blue envelope and I love the subtle addition to the otherwise neutral color scheme.  I have way to much fun creating these boards!

Meet Isabel

With a collection of 27 designs, it's easy to overlook a design or two, so I plan to 'introduce' each of my invitations here on the blog. And since I'm often inspired by the 'feel' of a wedding (not always a theme, but that something that makes a wedding unique), I created an inspiration board that I think compliments each invitation. First, I'd like you to meet one of my favorites.... Isabel.

Isabel is letterpress printed on natural white cotton card stock and features an intricate lace pattern that was printed with a blind impression, meaning that no ink was used.  The result is striking and is even more beautiful in person (you can order a sample here).

I think Isabel could work for so many types of weddings, but paired with the green envelopes, it made me think of an elegant outdoor reception, and so my inspiration board includes simple florals, lovely neutrals, and of course, lace!

...and it's here!

The new site is live! I've never worked harder creating this wedding collection and website and I am so very very happy!

A little credit, where credit is due... The website is by Cathy Olson, from Love Inspired. The photos of the wedding collection are by Lindsey + Beto Photography, who made the website perfect with their gorgeous photographs. Spiffying up my invitation suites is the lovely calligraphy of Abigail Luby, of Chips & Salsa Designs. And if you make it to my shop and check out the Save the Dates, those engagement photographs are by Stacy Reeves Photography, who generously shared her images to compliment my designs.

But mostly I need to give some credit to my husband. He probably knows more about paper, printing, envelopes, and the many ways one can organize an invitation website. He has been patiently listening to me discuss every detail of this ENTIRE process since November.... that's support people!

Sneak Peek: The Fresh Collection

The Fresh Collection includes some of my more modern designs and layouts. They are not really modern by some of the current standards out there, but are a little more unique and playful than the classic designs from the Regal Collection.

Website launch is tomorrow! I know, I know - I teased last week, and I thought I was going to get to launch a little early, but Friday it is. So happy!
