Renee + Peter’s Chicago Skyline Wedding Invitations

Renee + Peter's Chicago Skyline Letterpress Invitations

Starshaped Press creates absolutely amazing letterpress pieces, and they do so in a very old school way, using antique metal and wood type + ornaments to build incredibly unique and wonderful pieces like these rich blue and kelly green wedding invitations for Renee and Peter’s Chicago wedding. I also love that Starshaped often takes photos of the plates used to create their incredible letterpress work because you can see just how much work and loving care goes into each project.

The clever use of ornaments in the “building” of the Chicago skyline, along with a smattering of stars and ultra bold type make these magical invitations a most definite invitation crush.

Hot Air Balloon + Purple Pinwheel Invitations

Hot Air Balloon + Pinwheel Wedding Invites

Purple pinwheels? Hot air balloons? Gorgeous packaging? How could I not have a crush on this lovely wedding invitation suite by Brancoprata? Bride and groom, Liliana and Filipe, wanted to incorporate hot air balloons and song lyrics in their wedding suite, and the talented wedding wonders at Brancoprata designed a suite that’s so elegant, with delicate ornamental flourishes and pops of royal purple throughout. A hot air balloon motif features on both the invitation card and on the wonderful box that the invitations were packaged in, along with purple pinwheels that add a big dose of fun.
