Elegant Botanical Invitations for a Hawaiian Wedding

April 14, 2015

If you love beautiful botanical illustrations and classically elegant typography, then this custom wedding invitation suite for a Hawaiian wedding will have your heart going pitter-pat. The gorgeous suite was created by Jen Simpson Design for Emily and Derek, who were married at the equally gorgeous Haiku Sugar Mill in Hawaii this past November.

Jen shares about the creative process and inspiration for this beautiful project:

Emily and Derek wanted their invitations to have a tropical feel without clichéd hibiscus flowers and tropical colors. We created a custom enclosure with a botanical print of the Hoya Pottsii, a plant native to Hawaii, to give the suite a local touch. We then designed the invitation in a semi-traditional layout with a rich script font to give the design some depth and added vintage ornament touches that are reminiscent of the sugar mill’s architecture.

Emily knew that she wanted letterpress, and we had Boxcar Press print the invitations in a beautiful, rich coffee brown color. We flat printed the other pieces and had a custom printed Envelofold made by Envelopments to enclose the suite so, when her guests received their invitations, they would open up like little presents.

Black & White Floral Wedding Invitations

February 03, 2015

Florals never truly go out of style but, boy, are they VERY in style right now. In fact, the floral trend is one of the biggest of the 2015 wedding season, and I’m lovin’ every bloom-filled moment of it!

I’ll be talking much more about the floral wedding invitation trend over the next several weeks, and today I’m all about gorgeous, black and white floral invitations, which combine the classically elegant, high contrast color combo with the beauty of floral elements and patterns. Add a touch of metallic here or a bit of mint green there, and you have the ultimate in classic design with a modern twist. Here are some of my favorite black and white floral examples:

1. Painterly Florals by Rachel Marvin Creative for Elli 2. Bountiful Bliss by Magnolia Press for WPD 3. Togetherness in Love by Stacey Day for WPD 4. Stunning Silhouettes by Papier Fabrik for WPD 5. Antique Chic by Love vs. Design 6. Flourishing Union by Elm and Gray for WPD

Elegant Black + White Woodland Wreath Wedding Invitations

February 04, 2014

Smitten on Paper has recently been showcasing their beautiful, new wedding invitation designs, and the elegant Woodland Wreath suite instantly caught my eye. You can customize the colors to coordinate with your wedding, but I have to say that I’m really into the classic (and totally hot right now) black and white palette shown here, paired with the minimalist modern dot envelope liner and line patterned backer, and the swashy and modern calligraphy script, which gives the design an organic edge.

Elegant Floral Watercolor Wedding Invitations with a Secret Star Wars Detail

October 28, 2013

At first glance, Ann & Paul’s crush-worthy, custom wedding suite by Anticipate Invitations is the picture of elegance. The beautiful invitations feature a warm and vibrant wash of watercolor, which carries through the suite in the upscale script typography, as well as in the lovely dahlia flower details. But the ultra elegant invitation suite hides an awesome detail in the form of some secret Star Wars action.

Michael from Anticipate Invitations shares:

Ann and Paul wanted something light and colorful with summer accents for their July wedding. In particular, they wanted to incorporate dahlias, their wedding flowers. Based on this inspiration, I came up with a playful and vibrant element using a watercolor wash in pinks, corals, oranges, and yellows.

One particular design detail that stands out is the small, hidden Yoda silhouette on the leaves of the dahlia on the information card. This Star Wars character played a fun part in Paul’s proposal to Ann, so adding this prominent, yet concealed detail brought their story to the design. Not to mention, it was recognizable enough for other guests to be in on the secret, too!

All of the invitation pieces were printed on white pearlescent paper to add formality and give the watercolor wash more dimension, which proved to be a great effect. The design also showed a level of practicality in the form of a larger RSVP card for guests to initial their meal choice. This saved the caterer time because guest information was more organized.
