Minted Wedding Invitations 2015 : Floral Fantasy

March 31, 2015

I’m in invitation lovers’ heaven right now because Minted just released their 2015 wedding invitation collection! The designers that are a part of the Minted community know how to create invitations that are the perfect blend of beautiful, trendsetting, and kickass, and over the next few weeks I’ll be featuring some of my favorites, as well as the new and ongoing trends that I’m seeing among the new crop of designs.

Today, I’m all about the florals. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure that I’ll say it again: florals are always in style. But I love seeing fresh takes on this classic motif and have spotted a number of lovely, floral-themed designs among the new Minted wedding invitations. Floral frames, particularly oval-shaped frames, are emerging as a big trend to watch, as are layered florals and stylized, watercolor, and handpainted floral sprays and bouquets.

I’m also loving the deep, rich color palettes that we’re seeing. Shades of wine and burgundy, coral pink, poppy red, indigo, deep teal, and golden brown are popping up all over, and these gorgeous hues are just perfect paired with florals.

Here are some of my favorite florals from the Mnted 2015 wedding invitation collection:

Row 1 : Floral Crown | Lori Wemple (l) and Midnight Foliage (foil pressed) | Alethea and Ruth (r)

Row 2 : Grecian Floral | Olivia Kanaley (l) and Grand Fleur | Kristie Kern (r)

Row 3 : Dahlia Bouquet | Alethea and Ruth (l) and Sun Prints (foil pressed) | Jennifer Wick (r)

Row 4 : Gilded Branches (foil pressed) | Laura Hankins (l) and Enchanting Plum | Phrosné Ras (r)

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.

Can you spot Yoda below?

Anne + Geran’s Starry Autumn Letterpress Wedding Invitations

March 06, 2013

Today’s invitation crush, designed by the bride, designer Anne Kostecki, instantly evokes the feeling of a crisp, autumn night and features washes of watercolor, as well as silver, hand painted stars and rustic script that perfectly echoes the organic angles of the leafless, autumn trees that appear in pieces throughout the suite.

Anne shares:

Geran and I are both native Missourians with a love for the season of autumn, which also happens to be what my last name means in German. We wanted to have a rustic, nature-inspired theme for our wedding and started by thinking of our favorite colors (his is brown, mine is blue). We decided to incorporate autumn trees and a starry night sky as design elements. The trees would represent his down-to-earth, practical personality; and the stars would represent my slightly out there, creative personality. The palette consisted of a dark mahogany brown, cobalt blue, ivory, and touches of silver.

I am a watercolor painter and wanted to incorporate that somehow into my letterpress suite, so I spoke with Jessica at Gilah Press + Design, and she came up with the idea of offset printing a watercolor wash on the invitations first. I also wanted a silver metallic finish to the stars, so I blind embossed the dots for the stars and hand painted them afterward with silver ink. I love having complete creative control, so I decided to do all of the invitation calligraphy and the envelope calligraphy myself.
