So I knew it would be impossible for me to stick with the weekly recaps on…well…a weekly basis. I am doing the best I can over here! Picking up where I left off, this post covers weeks ending February 27th and March 6th. Oh and recaps for March 13th and 20th are not far behind. Hope to have them finished up later today. Wedding Season is in full swing for us right now and I am not able to share all the orders and designs that we’ve received and/or made but here’s a glimpse at some of our favorites….
1) navy blue and yellow wedding invitation. the bride flip flopped ink colors on the inserts and liners to create her own look. this invite can be printed on white or ecru stock in a combination of two of over 20 ink colors.
2) navy blue and yellow table card coordinating with invitation from #1
3) love birds wedding invitation (this invitation won the 2007 louie award for best stationery). the birds’ heads interlock when the gate fold style enclosure is folded close. when open, the invitation panel is in the center.
4) flat panel wedding invitation in ecru stock with designer pearlized border. love how the bride pulled her wedding color of orange in through the print ….the invitations looked super classy!
5) flat panel wedding invitation in white stock with recessed panel. rosewood envelope liners were used to pull the wedding color in
6) custom designed wedding invitation featuring cala lily’s. this was a flat panel invite with the design printed behind the wording. pink, gold and ecru papers were used.
7) pocketfold wedding invitation from the carlson craft pockets album. this invitation can be printed in a combination of two of over 30 ink colors
8) custom designed pocketfold wedding invitation. this invite is actually one of our brides diy projects. we provided design, printing and an instructional packet. she cut and assembled the project herself saving the cost of our labor. this design features products from the envelopments line.
9) custom designed pocketfold wedding invitation. the pocket is made of a subtle floral pattern while the inserts are layered to incorporate both colors from the pattern. a 7/8” satin ribbon was used to accent the invitation adding the perfect touch of ‘formal’.
10) catalog ordered pocketfold wedding invitation. a champagne shimmer pocket with ecru cards. this bride pulled her colors in by using claret ink and claret envelope liners. such a sharp, crisp contrast to the soft ecru stock. a perfect combination!
11) hot pink, black and white wedding invitation. this invitation can be printed in many different ink colors and white or ecru stock can be used.
12) flat panel wedding invitation on eco-friendly stock. love the top-open envelope with motif from invitation carried through!
13) catalog ordered pocketfold invitation. a fun swirl design framed the invitation wording and was used on the inserts as well
14) catalog ordered pocketfold invitation. a flourish/swirl design was incorporated on the invitation panel and both inserts
