How gorgeous are these envelopes!
We used modern calligraphy in a dark blue to match the invitation. Each envelope was printed with original artwork in a tumble down the front of the envelope. The florals wrapped over the top and continue down the back flap to the return address!
I love the wax seal details of this design!
I selected a pale blue to complement the more subtle colors of this design. As an added detail, we added some dried rose petals and a saturated pink to the wax.
So vibrant and colorful! This custom bridal shower invitation is perfect for a summer garden party!
I can’t wait to show you the details!
Summer weddings are all about those bold colors, full of sunshine and exuberance. I love everything from the seaside blues to sunflower yellows!
Cheerful yellows, bright oranges, leafy greens, and summer sky blues are all over this time of year! I love outdoor weddings, and the summer season is all about parasols and the bright hues of the season.
So let’s talk about summer invitations, and we’ll start with the summer invitation inspiration in this post!
Poppies are such a summer staple, and the Icelandic poppies for these bridal shower invitations are no exception! Printed on handmade paper and covered edge to edge in gorgeous formal calligraphy, these bridal shower invites take your shower game to the next level! We went way over the top with the calligraphy for this suite, pouring the flourishes over the deckled edges.
The simple save the dates, layered with Japanese cane paper and handmade paper, for a Bermuda destination wedding are pale and understated. I love the idea of going off the beaten path, so taking on the tropical vibe while foregoing blues and bright colors is definitely my type of project. The amazing tactile texture of the cane paper was exactly what our bride was looking for. We paired it with a sage green handmade paper with a deckled edge to add in even more texture.
Can we say holy cow envelope game? I loved this project! The bride got married at her parent’s property in Sun Valley, Utah, surrounded by tall grasses and wildflowers. We spent some time researching the varietals that would be blooming at the time of her wedding and built her entire suite around those, bringing in bright yellows, shades of oranges and blues, leaf greens, and pale pinks and peaches (I shocked myself with how many colors I was able to build into this suite!) Bits of line botanicals peak out from the corners, creating some interesting negative space. At some point, we’ll also look at the suite of woodland creatures we also created for this suite (owls, foxes, and bears, oh my!).
These summer invitation suites have such different looks and feel to their aesthetic. I love the directions each of these brides went to reflect their personal style in their wedding!
