Unique Embroidered Wedding Invitations

Unique Embroidered Wedding Invitations

I have to admit that I crush on pretty much anything that Anna Bond creates, but earlier this year, when I first spotted these amazingly unique custom embroidered wedding invitations that she made for Avi and Kate, they just about took my breath away. Anna hand embroidered all of the original pieces of this stunning invitation suite and scanned the originals to create pieces that could be sent out to the couple’s invited guests. Amazing!

Pennant Invitation Kit

Bunting and pennant elements are so popular right now for weddings, birthday parties, and pretty much any other occasion that you can imagine. Sara from Event Lucky was onto something when she suggested using this adorable Pennant Letter Kit by Briones + Co. to create fun party invitations that can be transformed into a custom decorative banner. Ask your guests to bring their invite with them to the party, and you can all take part in crafting cute bunting to decorate the walls. The kit even comes with twine, so you’ll have everything that you need to create!

Art Nouveau Wedding Invitations by Jeremy & Kathleen

Art Nouveau Inspired Wedding Invitations

This is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau inspired wedding invitation suites that I’ve seen. Jeremy & Kathleen, who created this custom suite for Samantha and Robert, used stylized, organic pattern and type to perfectly capture the period feel, and the earthy color palette creates a lovely, romantic tone that really gives the invitation suite a modern touch. Antique gold envelopes add a bit of sparkle, but in a soft and subtle way that meshes wonderfully with the rest of the pieces.

Mid-Century Modern Typographic Wedding Invitations

Mid Century Modern Typographic Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Jaw, meet floor. When I spot a detail like this monogram, created using a feather-like variation of an ultra cool font like Sessions by John Skelton, I know that I’m about to be amazed, and that’s exactly what happened as I drooled over the images of this mid-century style letterpress wedding invitation suite designed by Drew Hodgson for his wedding in Palm Springs, CA and printed by the always awesome Studio on Fire.

The wedding will be held at a mid-century hotel in Palm Springs, and the playful, modular shapes of the Sessions font are the perfect choice to compliment the venue. The invitation is actually a folder enclosure that opens to reveal wedding details on the flap, adding to the fun, playful tone.

Natasha + Stetson’s Purple Plaid Wedding Invitations

Purple Plaid Wedding Invitations

These purple plaid wedding invitations for Natasha and Stetson by Kate Miller Events / KME Paperie are blowing my mind! The custom wedding invite suite features three different plaids (and the suite is photographed above on a fourth, which was the fabric used for their DIY table runners) and a fabulous custom monogram, which combines the wheat ring of the bride’s Moldovan heritage and a crest and crown to represent the groom’s Scottish heritage. You can see more images from this perfectly plaid wedding over at Elizabeth Anne Designs.
