I’m in love with these super sweet, rustic meets rock n roll wedding invitations designed by Cheree Berry Paper . The couple, Kalen and Parks, chose the Old Edwards Inn in the mountains of North Carolina, making theirs a destination wedding for both them and their guests. They both come from very laid-back families and wanted their wedding to be homey and comfortable, much like our families. There was never a stuffy moment about the wedding. It was elegant, yet functional and touchable.

The invitation colour palette is fun and fresh and is paired perfectly with a gold foil for the couples names. The muted wood grain gives the invitation some edge because its a totally different texture and colour. But it still fits with the overall look of the suite.

They paired woodtype text with a very modern script for their names along with some ornate filigree. A nice contrast and very visually appealing.

All of their stationery was printed with a letterpress and then their names were stamped with gold foil. Two very expensive techniques but the look is gorgeous!

Can you believe it’s already mid August? Somebody slow down the clock, this year is flying by way too fast! I hope you are taking full advantage of our summer because the snow will be here soon enough.

Aside from all of the wedding invitations and stationery that I create, I am working through an almost complete home renovation. I love seeing the improvements and how everything is slowly coming together. But man, it’s draining. We check 1 thing off of our to-do list and then add another 3 items. It feels never ending.

I came across Ice Cream Social Wedding Stationery & Delicious Design recently, and with a name like that, you know it’s good! Jennifer and Mary are the ladies behind this stunning letterpress invitation suite. This is a two colour print invitation and reply card. Also included is a personalized envelope and tag. It’s such a pretty package! Who wouldn’t want to attend this rustic-casual wedding? Here’s what Jen and Mary had to say about their design:

Jenn and Alex’s destination wedding took place in the beautiful setting of California amongst the vineyards, a place they shared special memories. They liked a casual rustic look that works so well with the natural setting of wine country. We chose to go with a tall layout to give the feeling of a wine bottle. The bakers twine topped with the heart hangtag tied everything together delivering the perfect package.

The detail in this invitation is so perfect. I love that the monogram is made out of flowers and wood boards. And those patterns are also used in the reply card.

But remember, letterpress can be very expensive. Especially when creating multiple cards. You can save money by only letter pressing the invitation card. Or using a textured paper and printing digitally which will give you that same tactile feeling without the extra cost.
