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.

Just a little local inspiration for this Charleston affair from Fairhope, Alabama...

XO,

I am working on (don't hold your breath) categorizing my website so when I post photos in my blog/portfolio, brides can easily find specific suites or printing methods that they are looking for, i.e.: thermographic invitation suite with wax seal.
Ah Ha! You've come to the right post!

This suite is one of my most favorites because A. it's gorgeous and unique, and B. it's was for my best friend's wedding! Jenna and Andy got engaged at the Trevi Fountain in Rome (le sigh). I was so happy Jenna asked me to help with some paper goods and her wedding day was just GORGEOUS. Blue skies in Newport Beach, Marchesa gown, lush dahlias, St. Germain cocktails, sunset over the canyon… yes, it was phenomenal! More on that later.

I love it's simplicity with the abundance of neutral tones! Jenna's wedding color palette was very "crisp" with lots of greenery and touches of blush tones. If you ask me, what's not to love? John and Joseph Photography, without a doubt, took better photos and I can't wait to show you those in a few weeks!
