Jessica + Austin’s Bold Art Deco Wedding Invitations

June 24, 2013

I spotted this absolutely stunning, Deco-ish wedding invitation suite by Austin Petito (a.k.a. the groom) over on Benign Objects recently and just had to share a peek over here. I love the bold, rich color palette and Art Deco style, which is something that I think we’ll be seeing more of in the coming year due to the popularity and influence of the recent adaptation of The Great Gatsby.

Head on over to Petito’s site to see even more of this gorgeous wedding suite.

Mid-Century Style Blue + Gray Save the Dates

April 04, 2011

Now this is a seriously cool save the date! Anna Wingard and Sei Rey Ho of Us & Them created these fantastic, two-color letterpress save the dates, printed by Mama’s Sauce, for their own upcoming wedding, and I’m really digging the mid-century style elements and awesome illustrations, not to mention the great blue and gray color palette.

I also think it’s fantastic that Anna and Sei Rey chose sunflower yellow envelopes for their save the dates. The yellow really packs a punch and provides the perfect contrast for the electric shade of blue in the save the date cards. Unexpected, and unforgettable! – found via French Paper

Modern Stripe Storybook Wedding Invitations

September 06, 2010

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it is a fantastic thing when graphic designers design their own wedding invitations. Hello, custom fuchsia calligraphy by Primele against a navy envelope? Competely awesome. And that’s just the beginning of the eye candy from this wedding invitation suite by Courtney + Brian of Seamless Creative.

One of my favorite details has to be the custom embossed initial bursts, which were used on the cover of the invitation to act as fun, modern seals.

The invitation suite features a custom illustrated, five part storybook that Brian and Courtney wrote and designed together to tell the story of their relationship. The final part of the story leads to the actual invitation, along with the info and reply cards, which were printed by Mama’s Sauce.

Simple stunning invitations! Check out more details over at Head vs. Heart.

1920’s Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

August 04, 2010

I’m totally crushing on these beautiful 20’s ephemera inspired letterpress wedding invitations and RSVP cards by Mama’s Sauce. The romantic rose and vine illustrations evoke traditional romance, while the orange and sage green palette add a modern twist, and I love the piece of vine that curves around the wedding details, framing them perfectly. Designed by Austin Petito of Mama’s Sauce.
