Classic Jersey Shore Wedding Venues In Letterpress

Mansion at Natirar Elegance

We love adding wedding venue illustrations to our portfolio. The beautiful Mansion at Natirar in Peapack- Gladstone is an example of lovely,  historic New Jersey architecture. Built in 1910 as a private residence for an heiress, it has since been turned into a well-loved spot for elegant weddings.  The Mansion boasts amazing architectural details. Daniela and Erik chose to accentuate the charm of the building and grounds by using spots of gold foil and gray letterpress. A regal ruby color sets of the warmth of the foil. The interior architectural detail of a picture window overlooking the lush acreage was used for wine bottle labels. The bride's father made the wine, adding a personal touch.

Gold foil loveliness with a Touch of Pink

Gold foil letterpress is always a stunner, and when it shows off original art, it’s even more special. This handlettering was created for Lauren and Christian, and used first on their Save the Dates 

Classic Gold Foil Letterpress

Shimmery gold foil is the star of this classic wedding invitation. Katie and James were married at the Bay Head Yacht Club, which was the visual for their gift bag stickers. 

Autumn Wedding in Rustic Bucks, Co., Pennsylvania

Dana and Chris were married a few months ago at the historic Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm in New Hope, Pennsylvania. We began working with them in the fall of 2015 when we designed their Save the Date cards. An autumn theme was consistent throughout their designs, and the invitations featured an original watercolor floral bouquet, with their names printed in rose gold foil letterpress. Their diamond laurel monogram was used on invitation tags, cocktail napkins and wedding dinner menu. We also created a illustrated map of the venue area which were attached to hotel guests' gift bags.

Filigree Letterpress Invitations

Lindsay and Blake were married in May and celebrated their reception at the beautiful Rumson Country Club. Their wedding invitation design was inspired by vintage filigree designs. The neutral color palette combined with the vintage art elements made for a fresh, classic and romantic look. We continued their look for wedding programs and menus, pictured above. The menu art was revisited from their save the date design.

Bay Head Yacht Club Letterpress Wedding Invitations

This is another set from last summer. Bridgin and Ian had a very specific concept in mind when we met last winter to discuss their wedding invitations. A view of the Bay Head Yacht Club from the water was to be the focus, so we first created a pencil sketch of the building outline. A digital line art illustration was then created and split to cover the design of both wedding invitation and rsvp cards. A nautical theme was tied into the corresponding cards  and envelopes in the set, and touches of yellow added to the navy and white color scheme. Milkfed Press printed the beautiful letterpress cards and did a stellar job of getting the illustration to line up on both cards!

Alyssa & David's Blush & Soft Floral Wedding invitation

 

Here is a wedding invitation set from last September. Alyssa & David requested their first names be hand lettered for their wedding invitation. The lettering served as the focal point of their invitation, with the first letters extracted to make a monogram. The monogram was printed on hangtags, using letterpress and rose gold foil. The rest of the set complemented the foil's warm tone with blush and ecru cards and envelopes, as well as a subtle white and blush rose patterned belly band and envelope liner.

The Knot Real Weddings

Our lovely clients Andrea and Drew's beautiful wedding is featured in the Fall/Winter 2015 issue of The Knot New Jersey. We were thrilled to be included in the "Special Jersey Shore Guide" of their Real Weddings section. Andrea and Drew were married at the marvelous Mallard Island Yacht Club last spring. We created an original watercolor illustration based on the bride's bouquet, and it was complemented on the invitation with gray letterpress and rose gold foil, printed by Milkfed Press.

Monogram & Scallop Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Shannon and Werner were married last weekend. Shannon approached us earlier in the year hoping we could create a pattern based on the scalloped beading on her wedding dress.  An asymmetrical design appealed to her, so we collaborated to design an original monogram with this idea in mind. The pattern was blind letterpressed in the corner and the monogram and text letterpressed in blue ink. We alternated using silver/gray and blue on the cards and envelopes. The couple had fun using their monogram for several reception pieces, including a mock wine barrel for cards, a cake topper, and custom silver matchbooks. Letterpress printing by  Milkfed Press.
