This utterly gorgeous, custom wedding invitation suite comes to us from Coral Pheasant, who created the beautiful suite for Meghan and Ben’s summer Long Island wedding. I’m completely crushing on pretty much everything about this suite, from the fantastic typography to the soft, romantic color palette, amazing floral details, and vintage map postcard RSVP cards. Mmm, swoon…
Nichole from Coral Pheasant shares:
Meghan and Ben were married on Long Island this summer, and the wedding they put together was a romantic and nostalgic affair. The paper story uses a large, narrow sans serif font for a touch of modernity and is combined with delicate and flourished lines and to bring in softness. It was important to Meghan and Ben to incorporate a map and a postcard feel given their many travels over the course of their relationship and the written correspondence that resulted. I found a vintage map of Long Island, altered the colors to fit their wedding palette, and designed the back of the map and the RSVP card in a manner reminiscent of old postcards. The floral envelope liner is a nod to the flowers they chose for their wedding. The main invitation was letterpress printed on Crane’s Lettra, and the additional cards and envelopes were flat printed.
As a surprise for Meghan, Ben secretly reached out to Nichole to design a coordinating card for her that revealed a special, romantic weekend complete with a hot air balloon ride. The special moment was beautifully captured by Robert and Kathleen Photographers when Megan opened the card on their wedding day:
