Classic Jersey Shore Wedding Venues In Letterpress

Mallard Island Yacht Club Wedding Invitations in Navy

Barnegat Lighthouse Views

Long Beach Island, NJ is a lovely place in the fall and a special place to get married. Near and far views of Barnegat Lighthouse inspired Michelle and Scott's wedding invitations. This is the view from their wedding venue, Sea Oaks Country Club. The invitations were printed in deep gold and burgundy thermography on crisp white cotton card stock.

Classic Wedding Invitations with Newport, Rhode Island Views

A classic Newport Rhode Island-inspired invitation suite, printed on crisp, white cotton stock using  gold and navy thermography, were paired with gold metallic envelopes. Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge and Castle Hill Lighthouse illustrations represented the view from Ocean Cliff, where the reception was held.

Katelyn and Scott's Nautical Wedding Invitation

  Katelyn and Scott first came to us for save the dates last spring. We continued their navy, gold and blush color scheme and nautical theme for their wedding invitations. Scott's company, Hatteras Press provided the printing and awesome anchor die-cut folder.

Amanda and Brian's Final Wedding Map

Amanda and Brian are getting married on the beach here in Manasquan next month with a Clambake to follow along Stockton Lake. We used the preliminary sketch for this map for their Save the Date cards. Amanda and Brian's wedding colors lent a whimsical touch, as well as their request for the two lobsters "holding claws."

Bonnet Island Nautical Save the Dates

We love the clean simplicity of Katelyn and Scott's nautical save the dates. The card features an illustration of their wedding venue, the lovely Bonnet Island Estate. Custom navy envelopes with a contrasting anchor pattern interior complement the navy and gold color scheme. Printing and envelopes by http://www.hatteras.us .

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!

Simple Nautical Elegance

We love the simple elegance of Molly and Mark's nautical wedding invitation. Gold thermography is accentuated by the contrast of a navy linen paper. A gold envelope lined with bold navy and white stripes offsets the invitation.

Navy & Nautical

Our community, while famous for its beaches, is also a well-loved boating destination. So it is not uncommon for us to receive requests for wedding invitation sets that are nautical either in theme, look, or both. Here are just a few of our favorite designs that featured classic navy and natural linen paper stocks, starfish, and iconic sailing references.

Alison & Ridge's Nautical Wedding

It is always wonderful to see pictures of our clients' events. These beautiful photographs of Alison & Ridge's August, 2011 wedding were taken by John Arcara. Clark's Landing Yacht Club in Point Pleasant served as a gorgeous backdrop for the reception shots. We carried the nautical theme through from save the date cards and invitations to menus, table cards, and seating cards. Tables were named for different sailing knots, and we coordinated illustrations of each knot on the backs of the seating cards.

From Sketch to Final

All original lettering and illustration solutions begin with a sketch. The lettering, especially, takes multiple sketches to get the desired look. Here is a new Save the Date design showing the process from beginning to end.
