letterpress printed abstract floral bridal shower invitations

We customized our Spinnerette design to create these abstract floral bridal shower invitations for Maria’s springtime party. Our friends at Invitations & Company helped them settle on sophisticated typography and a pretty palette of blind deboss printing and rose gold foil. A solid foil liner added more shine and elegance.

Pastel letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations

Our friends at Written and Wrapped helped Hannah and her family customize our Harvest design for her spring Bat Mitzvah celebration. Their sweet and ladylike take on the design feels young and fresh and very different from the rustic elegance of the original. They played up their pastel palette of gray and pink throughout the suite, from the polka dot envelope liner to the subtle hint of pink edging the invitation.

Introducing Arundel: coastal inspired wedding invitations

Just in time for the upcoming summer holiday, we’re introducing you to Racheal Bumbolo‘s latest design, Arundel. “My main source of inspiration came from the Maine coast,” says Racheal. “My family has vacationed near Arundel for the past few summers and I love everything – the shops and small towns and of course the beaches, wharfs, ports, and hiking trails. For this design I imagined a sophisticated coastal soirée in shades of blue and neutral sandy colors reminiscent of the beach. Keeping the typography simple and minimal adds flexibility for this design to fit any venue or occasion.”

Culver reimagined: wedding invitation inspiration from Los Angeles’ arts district

“My main source of inspiration for this customization of Culver was the venue itself and the surrounding arts district of Los Angeles. Cool vibes, art, creativity and innovation abound,” says designer Racheal Bumbolo. A clean slate along with minimalist font treatment sent this one home for me. I feel most comfortable with designs like this; there is just something about quintessential, modern design that puts me in the zone!”

Introducing Morocco: vibrant mosaic wedding invitation inspiration

Designer Sierra Detrick is no stranger to worldly inspiration.Growing up, I based many of my projects in school and in personal pieces around multi-cultural arts,” she says. “The diverse creativity of the world still heavily influences me today.”

She found inspiration for her Morocco design in the vibrant hues and intricate details seen often in Moroccan design. “I was really taken with modernized versions of the Moroccan-style tiling I was seeing in home design,” says Sierra. “I decided to create my own tile pattern that could be used throughout a wedding invitation suite and paired it with a very simplistic but elegant body of text. I didn’t want the copy to compete too much with this vibrant pattern, but I still wanted it to be able to stand on it’s own. Ted Clausen’s ornate hand calligraphy added just the right amount of sophistication.”
