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.

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)

Floral and Gold Foil Wedding Invitation Ideas

February 09, 2015

Floral wedding invitations are classic, feminine, beautiful. Gold foil wedding invitations are fresh, textural, snazzy. Combine the two styles, and you have undeniably lovely, modern invitation designs that are equal parts romantic and contemporary.

You can go big or go subtle with both floral and gold foil elements, including them as either subtle, understated details that blend seamlessly with the full design – for example, a floral bouquet in the corner or a gold foil touch to just your names – or as the stars of the show – a lush, floral wreath frame around your wedding details or gold foil embellishing on all of the elements in the design. Whatever your decide, the possibilities for a stunning result are endless!

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!

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:
