Lyla + Chris’ Preppy, Golf-Themed Save the Dates

January 27, 2014

Today’s clever invitation crush comes to us from Roseville Designs, who created these fun and preppy, golf-themed save the dates for Lyla + Chris’ upcoming country club wedding. Lovin’ that gorgeous, green argyle envelope liner!

Sandy from Roseville Designs shares:

Lyla + Chris are having an elegant and preppy May wedding in Greenwich, Connecticut. They love golf and, since their wedding weekend will be hosted at a country club, they wanted to tie that into their design. I created a custom “monogram” with golf clubs that can be used as a motif throughout their wedding paper story. Here, we incorporated it as part of the return address on the envelope. For the actual save the date, I went for a classic calendar look, which we had flat-printed on textured felt stock. The final touch (and my favorite detail) is the bold argyle envelope liner, which pairs nicely with the elegant look of the actual card.

Foundry (Dressed) Typographic Letterpress Wedding Invitations

January 06, 2014

It’s a new year, and that means oodles of new, crushtastic invitation designs. Woohoo!

I thought I’d start the year off with a bang in the form of these ultra bold, typographic letterpress invites from Tweedle Press. If your tastes run more MoMA than mainstream, then this is your kind of wedding invitation. The original and most definitely eye-catching Foundry (Dressed) invitation suite is a little bit retro and a little bit modern, angular, layered. It’s a piece of modern art announcing the details of your upcoming wedding celebration. And, while you can order these awesome invites in your own custom colors, I have to say that I am totally digging the deep teal-y palette shown here:

Mike + Jen’s Music-Themed Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

December 02, 2013

I know more than a few musically inclined couples who would be head over heels for these modern, music-themed rehearsal dinner invitations by Anne Kostecki. The ivory, white, and cream color palette is a timeless classic and elegant, ornamental elements pair with modern typography for a look that’s chic, stylish, and so very melodic.

Anne shares details about this lovely project:

My husband’s aunt contacted me about designing a special rehearsal dinner invitation for them. She was designing the event to mirror their wedding colors, which were black, white, and ivory. She also wanted the invitation to reflect the couple’s love of music and all things vintage, as well as the groom’s career in music. I was inspired by early classical sheet music and scrolls and decided to back the invitation with sheet music. The front of the card features minimal, delicate ornaments and a textured font meant to resemble an inked letterpress look. She loved the invitations and actually used the extra prints to decorate the rehearsal dinner venue (the sheet music backs also functioned as the table assignment display decor).

The invitations were digitally printed on Cougar White 80# paper.

Musical Instrument-Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

October 29, 2013

I always look forward to seeing new projects in El Calitopo’s stream, and these amazing letterpress rosette wedding invitations caught my eye immediately. Completely crushable, no?

The beautiful, ornate design was inspired by the geometric shapes and lovely curves of musical couple Clara & Daniel’s instruments, specifically a rosette detail that features an intricate, knotted design which translated perfectly into a unique, revolving circle invitation that holds the rosette front, the wedding invitation, and an information card. Coordinating table numbers and cards with the names of the musical selections that were played during the ceremony were also created as a part of this unique and lovely suite.
