Clara Wedding Invitation Suite | Chelsey Emery

Boston area architect turned graphic designer, Chelsey Emery, recently released her new wedding invitation collection, which includes 20 suites designed in her classic elegance meets modern preppy style. Each suite features a distinct blend of modern classic + whimsical typography, along with wonderful, eye-catching color and pattern (hello, lovely patterned envelope liners!), from the fiery, hot pink Clara Suite (above) to the soft, minty Olivia Suite (below).

Letterpress printing and flat printing are available, and all invitations are printed on thick, 100% cotton paper, which gives the invitations a wonderfully luxurious feel. All color, pattern, and font modifications are included and welcomed, to make each invitation a perfect fit with a couple’s unique wedding celebration.

Wedding Invitation Color Trend : Mint Green

It’s fresh, it’s soft, and it’s one of the hottest color trends in stationery. Mint green pairs perfectly with neutrals like bold black, charcoal gray, and warm brown in so many different invitation styles. The versatile hue can be combined with elegant script and ornate ornament for an ultra upscale look, but it’s equally at home when paired with sleek, mid-century style typography and pattern. Check out these lovely (and minty) invitations to see just how cool, both literally and figuratively, mint green can be.
