Sometimes a client tells you about their wedding and you kind of just want to scheme a way to get invited… that was pretty much the case with Sarah and Todd. They had an amazing wedding on Martha’s Vineyard over Labor Day weekend last year. The weekend started with a welcome party at the Bride’s family’s home followed by a Lobster Bake on Friday evening {with custom bibs- amazing} and a lovely wedding ceremony at the Allen Farm in Chilmark on Saturday night. For Sarah’s invites, she wanted them to feel nautical and reminiscent of the Vineyard without having them feel over the top in any one direction. For her invites we created a clean, letterpress invitation with lots of negative space. My favorite element are the blind impressed seagulls in the top right hand corner- so charming. Sarah wanted everything to feel contained so we put all the pieces in a cream invitation folder that matched back to then main and RSVP envelope. When it came to her envelope liner, we had used a vintage MV map on their save the dates and decided to repurpose that here for a sense of continuity, which I loved. Overall, I love how clean and open this suite feels while still evoking the warm, special feeling of a Vineyard wedding.

Lighthouse Suite
Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to share our pictures of the Lighthouse Suite that was featured in the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Travel Issue. We had a lot of fun creating this set as it was completely inspired by the location. A lot of times we focus on the couple and their story but this one was all about the lighthouse itself. This was completely hand lettered and illustrated to create an organic, nautical feel. What I find nice about this is that it’s very simple and we really let the lettering and colors tell the story vs. overloading the pieces with images, colors, etc. Sometimes clean is the way to go. Here we paired it with a red RSVP envelope for an added punch of color. If you’d like to see the suite as featured in Martha, go to your local magazine shop {I sound like a oldie because I actually don’t even know if those exist but let’s roll with it} and grab the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Travel Issue.
