Modern Navy Chevron Wedding Invites

March 11, 2013

Chevron is a smokin’ hot wedding invitation trend right now, and I’m crushing on this bold take on the classic chevron pattern by Smitten on Paper. The rich, navy blue and ivory suite features sleek typography throughout, and the pieces in the suite are well complimented by chevron-lined kraft envelopes, which add a nice contrast the deep navy blue. These invites would be a fantastic choice for any design-minded couple looking for a wedding suite that’s a little bit preppy or subtly nautical.

Modern Love Story Wedding Invitations

October 22, 2012

Today’s super sweet invitation crush comes to us from Renee Nicole Design, which launched just this past May and already has a lovely collection of wedding invitation sets and holiday party invites available. The Modern Love Story wedding suite is right up my chevron-loving alley, showcasing whimsical typography with mid-century touches and darling heart and banner motifs. I’m really digging the belly band detail, which features a heart monogram and adds a sweet something to the entire suite, as well as the gorgeous gray and minty teal color palette. But the palette can be customized to your needs, so no worries if gray and minty teal aren’t your thing.

Get ready for some Modern Love Story eye candy!

Fauna Watercolor Letterpress Invitation Suite

Letterpress AND watercolor together in one fabulous new wedding invitation collection? You don’t need to tell me twice that I need to get my crush on for the new Watercolor Letterpress collection by The Aerialist Press. The beautiful new line features five design options and was inspired by the resurgence of love for unique, handmade, artisan invitations.

Each piece will be carefully and expertly watercolor painted by hand with the paint color(s) of your choosing, so each piece will be a one of a kind. In addition to customizing the paint color, you can customize the font and ink choice for the letterpress printed details (included in the customization). This collection sounds perfect for couples who are looking for something truly unique.

Kevin + Satsuki’s Modern Hand-Lettered Wedding Invitations

October 25, 2010

I featured these gorgeous, hand-lettered letterpress invitations over at Paper Crave a couple of weeks ago, but they’re so lovely that I wanted to shared them over here, too. The invitations were designed by Satsuki Shibuya, who recently launched the Los Angeles based graphic design and product design studio, Zakka Nouveau, and designed these hand-lettered lovelies for her own upcoming wedding.

The project was a true labor of love and features a wonderful combination of hand-lettering (by Satsuki), a gorgeous gray and pink color palette, and a classic chevron pattern in pink and creme on the reverse of the invite. These unique wedding invitations combine the old and the new for a look that’s oh so chic, but with a touch of fun, too. Check out more photos and details from custom invitation project over at Paper Crave, and check out Zakka Nouveau’s portfolio to see more of Satsuki’s work.
