Wedding Charette by TreeSpace Studio!

I have exciting news to share with you today! I recently was chosen by Amy from TreeSpace Studio for the weekly Wedding Charette, in which she sketches out an idea for wedding paper things based on inspiration provided by the lucky winner.

I just adore what she came up with for us!





Isn't this great?



I am in love the TreeSpace Studio; the designs are original, creative, and beautiful. There more on her blog--go check it out!

Rubber Stamp Wedding Invites?

Inspired by an old card, Hannah used RubberStamps.net to create custom stamps with artwork she uploaded herself, and stamped save-the-dates and invitations on paper purchased at Kate’s Paperie in New York.

I actually really like the way these invitations turned out, so I went over to RubberStamps.net and tried to make my own invitation rubber stamps. The site was pretty easy to navigate, but I couldn't find any of the lovely fonts Hannah used. Has anyone ever tried to make their own rubber stamps using another site? Has anyone ever seen rubber stamp invites in real life--how do they look?

Two-Color Invitations

Again, I don't know where I first saw these invitations, but I think they're so fun! For our wedding, I don't think the lawn chair/lobster motif is what I want, but I love the way the designer used multiple color inks to brighten up a traditional layout. What do you think would be better for us:

navy red

or

navy green

Bella Figura

I love the look of letterpress, even though the cost pushes it a little bit (okay, a lotta bit) out of my invitation budget. Bella Figura is an eco-friendly letterpress company that has some beautiful designs. Although they look a lot like other high end letterpress invitations, they use recycled paper and soy-based inks. Here are two of my favorite designs:

Bordure

Maps

I can't remember where I found this picture, but I love the juxtaposition of the traditional typeface and the unexpected map watermark. This particular invitation map was for a Naval Academy wedding, but I think it would be perfect for JTP & me as well!
