Recently came across the work of Julie Song Ink.  Really loving her calligraphy and texture from the brush work.  Not to mention those delicious colors – they’re getting me so excited for spring!

This is so exciting!  One of my favorite calligraphers, Neither Snow, teamed up with one of my favorite stationers, Mr. Boddington’s Studio, for the most gorgeous invitation & stationery designs.  So many new things to look at – such great eye candy for today!

I absolutely love the sparkly capped sleeves on this gorgeous bride’s dress!  And her bouquet is really gorgeous and elegant as well.  What a striking couple!  Congrats, Lauren & Joshua (for more details on their wedding day, head over to 100 Layer Cake).

I’m so excited to see the first book from Twigs & Honey!  I’ve been following Myra’s work for many years now and it’s been wonderful to see Twigs & Honey grow leaps and bounds.  Congrats to you, Myra!  I’m definitely adding this to my Amazon wishlist!

I’ve been a big fan of Cynthia Warren for some time now, and one of my favorite pieces of hers is an intricate wreath illustration she did for a wedding several years ago.

I was super excited to find in the recent summer issue of Martha Stewart Weddings that she teamed up with Moontree Letterpress (love their work too!) to create a custom piece for the magazine, based off of the earlier illustration.  Love the new take!

Loving the typography and simple color palette of these North Carolina Garden wedding invites by designer & photographer Ross Clodfelter.  Via 100 Layer Cake.

I was so excited to receive this invitation in the mail that I had to share.  My dear friend Meagan owns The Brocade Blackbird, and for her own wedding invitations she decided to do something totally unique and one-of-a-kind.  The invite arrived in a simple kraft box; inside were the suite pieces all wrapped up in a colorful, green fabric and grey and white bakers twine.

The invite pieces have hand-drawn art from Meagan including an illustration of the house where the reception will be held and a glass canning jar with striped straws – sneak peeks of what’s in store on their wedding day.

Underneath this bundled invitation was a simple note saying “peek inside” – and when lifted, a hand-cut, hidden diorama of the bride & groom on their wedding day was found.  Amazing!

The invite definitely set the mood for the wedding – I was honored to receive such a gorgeous invite and I can’t wait for their big day in July!

This Jenny Packham dress looks incredible on the gorgeous bride, Karen.  Cannot get over the detail on that dress!

I love these Save-the-Dates on Oh So Beautiful Paper!  As a gardener at heart, I’ve always wanted to convince a client to use plantable paper as an option to print on.  Maybe not a great idea for the invites themselves, but perfect for Save-the-Dates to set a fun & thoughtful tone for the wedding day.  The custom garden marker included is perfect!  Kudos to Lowcountry Press for the design & printing.

(Psst!  There’s even a video of the process on Oh So Beautiful Paper’s post! Check it out!)
