This couple's wedding suite was inspired by the venue for their upcoming ceremony- a beautiful garden outside of Marquette, MI. While it was hard to imagine summer will ever come while I was designing these in the middle of a Minnesota winter.. the thought of these dreamy gardens in the July sunshine was absolutely sublime.

The invitation itself was mounted to a blush cardstock for a more luxe feel, and the whole suite was bound with a champagne glitter belly band for a good dose of sparkle as recipients pulled their invites out of the pearl shimmer envelopes these were mailed in.

Designed for a summer barn wedding, this invitation featured greyish purple text on a linen textured, ivory paper. Details inserts and RSVP postcards were bundled with the invitation using a belly band made of burlap and white lace, finished with a raffia bow. The invitation suite arrived within a blush inner envelope, printed with the guests' names, which was then sealed with a champagne colored monogram wax seal. The blush inner envelope and wax seal went through the mail in a Kraft brown outer envelope to ensure the invitations arrived pristinely intact. 

Designed for a couple getting married in northern Minnesota in early summer, this suite’s focus was on typography- the bride was drawn to striking combinations of graceful script fonts, elegant serif fonts and modern sans serif fonts. By placing white text on a serene watercolor background, it made the text really pop for a classy finished product.

What a pleasure to have the honor of designing this wedding stationery for one of my bestest bestest friends in the entire universe—

Olivia is an interior designer, and her fiancé, Brian is a principle/partner at a furniture design rep firm, so designing for two very design-minded individuals was an interesting challenge that I was most definitely up for- and it was one of the most fun collaborations I’ve done to date!

Planning for their September 2019 nuptials, which will be held in an intimate family ceremony followed by a celebration with family and friends at Firehouse Chicago, Olivia was very drawn to the rich Oro colored hand-dyed silk from Tono + Co (www.tonoandco.com). Using this color as the basis for our inspiration, I created a soft watercolor background, which was printed on a luxe textured card stock. For the text, I hand lettered their names for a truly-unique and handcrafted feel, which contrasted nicely with the modern sans serif font used throughout the rest of the piece. Including a sweet polaroid image of one of their engagement photos, these were clipped to the Save the Date with a contemporary paper clip, and then wrapped up in hand frayed silk ribbon bows for a romantic finish.

Such gorgeous save the dates deserved only the best envelopes to be mailed to loved ones in, so we used the cutest gold heart handmade paper to line the Kraft envelopes, and stamped them with our very favorite LOVE stamps by artist Anna Rifle Bond.

Rustic and romantic wedding invitations with minimalist details- a little bit of watercolor greenery accented by a piece of rough silk ribbon and a wax seal captured the vintage, earthy vibe of the barn venue this couple had chosen for their big day.

Designed for a summer wedding in the bride’s mother’s backyard, this suite featured bold colors and shapes that captured the playful and optimistic demeanor of Elise & Mannie’s relationship. White text on a colored background is always a good idea, and for this invitation, elegant and striking serif fonts really added an element of classiness to the overall aesthetic.

This suite has it all- romantic watercolor florals and greenery, dramatic serif font monograms, sweeping script fonts with unique ligatures, all wrapped up in a textured blush envelope finished with a gilded antique gold shimmer envelope liner.

Ever heard of an "Around-the-Clock" Bridal Shower? Me neither, until I started designing these invitations; the Mother of the Groom's idea, each guest is assigned a time of day on their invitation, and brings a gift for the bride that corresponds to that time of day. Examples: 6am? Coffee and mugs set for the newlyweds.. 6pm? Champagne flutes or a gift card to one of their favorite restaurants for date night.. A brilliant idea to keep gift-giving fresh!

I had the honor of designing the wedding invitation suite for this couple as well, so I wanted to come up with something that would compliment the wedding invitations, but also highlight the bride's unique taste for the shower invitations. Her bridesmaids dresses will be mostly grayish-purple, a color we have lovingly coined "gurple" as we've discussed decor and color palette. I opted for feminine watercolor floral graphics, including a mason jar vase to keep it rustic, and paired it with casual-but-classy contemporary fonts to make these invitations sophisticated without being stuffy. As a nod to Jordan's equestrian side, each envelope got a silver embossed horse on the back to make these especially personalized!

These bridal shower invitations combined so many of my favorite things... watercolor florals, luxe blush from paper source, and champagne glitter envelope liners. 

Parisian & chic, these bridal shower invites got the glam treatment with silver digital foil on all of the script text as well as the graphic accents.

Kelsey & John wanted a traditional aesthetic with elegant details for the Save the Dates for their spring 2019 wedding in Milwaukee, WI. Graceful script fonts and classic details, combined with dreamy pastels result in a sweet and timeless composition, that is only made cuter by the couples’ engagement photo, which also includes their adorable pooch. (If you ever ask me if you should include your pet on your stationery, I will always say YES; furbabes rule, and are part of the family)

Elise & Mannie love to read - I jumped at the chance to try out these bookmark save-the-dates, as this was the perfect couple for them! With Mannie's Argentinian heritage, we opted for a bilingual format: English on one side, and Spanish on the other.

Purple anemones and deep aubergine gave this autumn bridal shower invitation a sophisticated and fashionable feel. Hand-lettered addressing made for a dramatic and luxe look when these showed up in recipients' mailboxes.
