After designing one of my favorite wedding invitations for Shauna and Steve, there were some great ideas for matching items for the wedding ceremony and reception. I designed signs, custom photo booth strips, table numbers, programs, favors and escort cards. My absolute favorite piece was the favors/escort cards. They wanted to do custom Jones Soda labels as their favors, using my engagement photos of them, with tags that would double as escort cards. I letterpressed each card and then added the calligraphy for names and table numbers. They definitely turned out top notch!
Special thanks to Jamie Jones Photography for letting me use the last four photos from the event!

One of my favorite things is to bring a client’s vision to life, to discuss their ideas and then develop designs based only on their ideas. It often will challenge me to produce something that is not my normal style and I really enjoy being stretched creatively. For this bridal shower, the host wanted a theme that is a bit more formal, and simple without being bland. Cream, taupe and rose create an elegant color palette that is enlivened by a geometric design motif. A touch of gold calligraphy ink finishes the set perfectly.
Design: Modern Calligraphy

Calligraphy has always been beautiful to me, but it seemed a little too formal, too aloof. In the past couple years, a new style being called “modern calligraphy” has started to make its way into invitation design. I was intrigued from the very beginning and finally decided to take the plunge and learn the skill and make it my own. I’m now proud to offer this as an additional service. Samples I’ve completed are below, I’m looking forward to tackling more extravagant projects as my skills strengthen in the future.

Always a pleasure and challenge to design for people I know, mixing something from their personality into the invitations. This was no different, and I was so happy with the final set that went into the mail. So excited to welcome a sister-in-law into the family!

This wedding invitation came together beautifully. It is definitely the most involved piece I’ve ever had the pleasure to design – letterpress printing, digital printing, handwritten calligraphy, wax seals and mounted photos (from their engagement session) were all just steps in the process to get to the final mailed piece. The bride and groom (friends of mine) also helped during printing and assembly, since the final piece was so complex.
For the design, the bride and the groom defined the style as “retro romantic” and wanted something that fit their wedding location, The Claremont Resort in Berkeley, CA. We ended up with a design that is clean and elegant, with a bit of art deco influence.

The artwork inspiration for these screen printed invitations reflects the bride-to-be’s appreciation of pin-up artwork, which turned out to be a fun theme for a bridal shower.
Her absolute favorite color is pink, so I decided to turn it up a notch – to some nice fluorescent pink. An equally awesome color had to be found to hold up to such a hot color, so I chose to balance it with metallic gold. Even the envelopes sported a little bit of fanciness, hand-written calligraphy in gold ink.

For their save the date, these two wanted an image from their retro-inspired engagement shoot to be the main feature. I designed a little banner in line with their theme to carry their information and we had a slick little number to send through the mail.

After the wedding suite is done, there’s often a bunch of extra bits and pieces to create and add to the wedding reception.
For Laura and Ryan, I worked on additional items to make their guests feel loved & welcomed at the event. My favorite piece is part of the welcome package for guests. Since many guests were coming from out of town and staying the entire weekend, Laura and Ryan put together some goodies and delivered them to the guest’s rental houses. This included a weekend itinerary, a cd with some songs special to the couple and a map of the local area.

Another beautiful wedding suite I had the pleasure of working on. They have worked their way through the mail, now I get to share them here. The idea for these invitations was to stay simple and use flowers in the design motif. I had a lot of fun designing something so delicate this time around. Navy is the main wedding color, so I wanted to feature that in the set, while using silver as a nice finishing accent.

Now that these are in the mail & the bride-to-be received her invitation, I can share them here! I enjoy sending surprises out in the mail, it’s so exciting!
I am so happy with how this card turn out, both the design and the ink colors. It’s always fun (and a great creative challenge) to design something for someone that I know, trying to capture their personality and preferences. For this invitation, I did a modern take on a bridal shower invitation, plenty of hearts to give a nod to the reason we’re celebrating, but in a more mature color theme and design. Keep an eye out for the matching party decor after the event.
Details: 2 ink colors / screen printed, hand-pulled, trimmed / edition of 50
