Jennifer and John Philip | Letterpress Invitations

I am happy to share Jen + JP's beachy letterpress invitations! Their wedding is right around the corner in Charleston, South Carolina. Some of you may remember the inspiration board I shared a few weeks ago… these are the final product!
My letterpress printer called during production to tell me how much he applauds my usage of white crane lettra. I loved this call so much, because I base all my decisions off of my natural style and vision for the couple's wedding, without a great deal of formal education in graphic design. I tend to LOVE letterpress on stark white because it pops more and he said that he feels the same way! It was so nice to hear that from another designer! This soft sea foam tone is so subtle but really makes a statement on the white paper.

Wedding Invitation Inspiration | Mint + Gold

Happy Friday!
I hope you have had a great week. I had a fun one designing a few different projects, ordering oodles of white florals, and tackling a few to-do's! Jane (Southern Calligraphy) and I designed and printed escort cards and programs for a Massachusetts bride and invitations for a Fairhope bride. I absolutely love teaming up with Jane and putting our skills to work! The mix of calligraphy and typography is definitely my favorite, and Jane nails the calligraphy every time!

I am thrilled that I will finally recieve Jen and JP's envelopes and gold ink in the mail today. I plan to get some R&R this weekend and do some addressing while my husband goes fishing! I cannot wait to get their invites back, they are being letter-pressed by one talented guy. I know they will be beautiful and of course, I can't wait to share the final product with you!
Below is a little inspiration behind their suite design. I loved the simplicity we decided on, while still incorporating fun touches of true gold and soft mint. I can't wait for them to wed later this Fall!
