Winter Garden Roses

an invitation suite for a wedding at:

beaulieu gardens | Rutherford, california

 
 

The bride always had her heart set on an outdoor garden wedding, but after their nuptials had been postponed several times and a date opened up at their favorite museum, Laura and Zac jumped on it.

Our goal was to create a garden-style floral invitation suite for Laura while keeping it on the more modern side to fit with the style of the Museum of Contemporary art.

 

Our overall design element was the pattern that we created for Laura and Zac’s suite. Comprised of all the garden flowers she loved, including roses and jasmine vines, we selected a pale grey lavender for the florals.

We applied different styles of the pattern to each piece within their invitation suite, creating interest and a unique feel to each card and envelope.

 

Naturally, the envelope liners matched the overall suite with a similar pattern.

How to Combine Classic & Modern

How do you combine two totally opposing design ideas? We’ll show you…

New York Public Library | New York, New York

For a wedding at the New York Public Library, our bride wanted to figure out how to combine super traditional, flourished calligraphy (her favorite!) but with more modern lines and a bit of gold.

 
 

We started with our paper selection.

We went with a bold, bright white cotton, a silky smooth black, and thick vellum with deckled edges. The bold white gave us a modern feel while balancing out the over-the-top calligraphy.

We also selected an oversized wax seal in black, again, aiming to combine the traditional and modern.

 
 

We used a combination of printing methods, including digital printing for our bold monochromatic patterns, and foil for the invitation, reply card envelope liners, and mini insert cards.

We placed the bold black and white floral pattern on both the backs of our insert cards as well as the envelope liners on our mini bright white envelopes.
