Watercolor Floral & Handlettered Winter Wedding invitations

These vibrant, bold invitations were the result of a collaboration with Flowers by Melinda of Lavallette, New Jersey, for her own wedding. She crafted a bouquet of roses and peonies, which was turned into an original watercolor painting. A hand-lettered monogram further added to the unique, custom look.

Hand lettered, Rustic Wedding Invitations

Kraft paper, cotton card stock, and twine gave this fall wedding invitation a soft, natural feel. Susie and Rob asked us to handletter their first names. We used the lettering again later for gift bag tags. The first letters lent themselves to an easy monogram, which appears above the sketch of their wedding venue, Bonnet Island Estate.

Autumn Art Deco Wedding

Wedding Trends come and go, but Art Deco is a timeless style. Allison and John's wedding invitation set showcased rich autumn colors, metallic papers, and a geometric monogram tag. The tag was adhered to a black satin belly band. We also designed a thank you card to match the set. The couple recently celebrated their first anniversary, and for a gift their parents commissioned an illustrated map to match their wedding invitation style.

Backyard Wedding Celebration

Typography focused invitations have been popular this year. It's always fun to see what combinations we can come up with to create fresh designs. Here is Jessica and Dustin's backyard wedding invitation and illustrated direction card, using four fonts and printed on Arturo deckled edge, cotton cards. The gingham ribbon with burlap made a perfect accent for the down-to-earth feeling.

Avon-by-the-Sea Watercolor Wedding Invitations

We created these watercolor invitations for a wedding celebration at the Jersey Shore oceanfront landmark The Columns in Avon-by-the-Sea. The aqua benches on the boardwalk were nice complementary artwork on the rsvp cards.

Wine Label Parody Save the Date

Arturo paper stock can make a great design look even better.  Deckled card edges and the soft texture of the cotton paper perfectly complemented the sketch of the clubhouse at Crystal Springs Resort.  And, of course, we never shy away from a parody.

Cristina & Lloyd's Puerto Rico Wedding Map

Cristina and Lloyd were married May 17th in Puerto Rico, at her grandmother's house (pictured on the map). What made this map a little different than any of our others is that the icons shown and states listed represent all the places from where friends and family traveled to celebrate the wedding. The newlyweds were generous enough to share a photo of how a print of the map was displayed with the seating chart we designed to match.

Architectural Art Deco Save the Date

Vintage architectural details can be very inspirational, and when they translate into a perfect design solution, we are thrilled. The window shape from the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse, the venue for this Art Deco styled wedding, made for a nice way to display the typography.

709 Wedding Show

We recently participated in a Wedding Show at 709 in Point Pleasant. Here are pictures of the menus and table cards we created for the sample tables (themed Beach, Rustic, Art Deco and Cobalt Blue). The lovely flower arrangements and decorations were created by the talented team at Purple Iris Flower Shop, also in Point Pleasant.

Lace and Twine Typography Wedding Invitations

Spring weddings are coming up quickly! We always enjoy having fun with typography. Michele and Michael's invitations are a mix of traditional formal and modern elements, as well as masculine and feminine touches (twine and lace/navy and pink). 

Ranney School Invitations

Here are a couple of designs we completed for the Ranney School: a Save the Date for their annual gala, Panther Ball, and the invitation cover for their annual fashion show, Rock the Runway. 

Golden Retriever Baby Shower

We are often asked to include pets into our clients' work. Here is a recent baby shower invitation design including an illustration the family's Golden Retriever. We had fun designing table cards to match.

International Wedding Map

We recently completed our first international map for clients in Edinburgh, Scotland. The map showcases not only their wedding but some highlights from their history as a couple and their native homes of Colombia/Madrid and Geneva, Switzerland.

Hand-lettered Save the Dates

Happy 2014! Yes, it was a big gap from our last post. If you're interested in seeing our current work more frequently, please check out our Instagram feed here. Here are three new save the date designs we have completed since the fall. Hand-lettering is something we have had an affinity for a long time. In the design world, lettering by hand has increased in popularity over the last couple of years. We couldn't be happier to incorporate it into our work even more often. The top design is our original illustration, and the photo credit for Stacey and Ryan goes to Elena Mitchell. Tricia and Tom's photograph was taken by sister-to-the-bride Lauren.
