It’s been just over a year since Judy and Hannah were happily wed in beautiful Hawaii. Judy grew up on Oahu, but her and Hannah along with a majority of their guests (including us!) travelled to the island to be with them on their special day. It is so wonderful to be able to watch two of your friends tie the knot, and we couldn’t have been more excited that they asked us to bring their tropical vibe wedding stationery ideas to life!

Save the Date

We presented a few save the date design ideas to Hannah and Judy, and they loved the idea of a postcard style to fit their Hawaiian destination wedding. We created a design incorporating tropical florals, bright colors, and a bold font that feels reminiscent of vintage postcards. Even when we do postcard style designs, we typically recommend that they are sent in envelopes to prevent the cards from being damaged in the mail. The brides chose a bright yellow envelope with printed mailing addresses. And because the postcards weren’t going to have postage affixed, we designed a fun “stamp” that tied in one of Hannah’s greatest loves: books! (Fun fact: one of the other save the date options we had initially design for J&H was made to look like a book!)

Invitation Suite

For their invitation suite, Judy and Hannah wanted to have a more elegant feel with tropical florals and greenery. They opted for an invitation and RSVP card, relying on their website as a medium to provide more details to guests – a great option for those looking to save a little money on postage. We love how these paired with a warm green envelope and felt both whimsical and elegant. 

Day of Details

We continued the use of tropical florals throughout Judy and Hannah’s wedding day details. One of our favorite items we created was their escort cards, in which we printed the florals from their invitation, and hand lettered each guest’s name in gold ink. An oversized frame showcased a hand lettered schedule of the evening’s events, and table numbers sprung from pineapples! 

One of the perks of being both a vendor and guest at your friends’ wedding, is the fun moments and details you get to be a part of. Hannah had always dreamed of getting a morning coffee with “bride” written on the cup, and Amelia was able to make that dream come true beautifully. And Natasha brought our Mrs. & Mrs. bunting to make a very sweet photo happen. Watching the brides use these custom hand lettered vow books was also a treat!

We loved being able to work with Hannah and Judy as they planned their wedding and dreamt up all of the special stationery and signage that made their day uniquely them. But we especially loved their celebration of love – and seriously, they had one of the most touching ceremonies we’ve ever attended – full of love, laughs, and happy tears. Scroll on to see some photos of their celebration. (You’ll also see us throwin’ out some shakas!)

Britton and Trevor exchanged vows on a beautiful summer day at the Interlaken Inn, located in their shared home state, Connecticut. Their wedding was inspired by a romantic English garden and each detail celebrated their love and garden party vibe. We were so honored to bring their wedding stationery dreams to life!

Save the Date

Britton was excited to incorporate one of her original lake scene watercolor paintings for her save the date card. We were impressed with her artistic skills and were thrilled to add in some simple brush style typography to complete the look!

Invitation Suite

We continued the watercolor style through to Britton and Trevor’s suite, which included the invitation, RSVP card, and details card. We love that the cool blues and simple design coordinated with the elegant lake and garden vibe of their wedding. The added velvet wrap to keep the cards together in their envelopes made the invitations feel extra special for her guests to open. The envelope colors and brush typography used for the guest addressing finished the suite for a completely cohesive style. 

Day of Details

We carried the watercolor and brush typography look through to Britton and Trevor’s wedding day details. The illustrations featured on the menus added color and an element of playfulness to the table scape. We are always fans of a signature drink, and the sparkling strawberry cocktail was a perfect addition to the garden themed summer wedding. Instead of a guestbook, the couple asked guests to sign their favorite restaurant menus which they then framed and hung in their home. 

Britton and Trevor’s summer garden wedding was just picture perfect and we so enjoyed being a part of it. Scroll on to see photos from their special day!

Lauren and Andrew became husband and wife on a gorgeous day in historic Danvers, Massachusetts. The love between these two radiated throughout their whole day as they celebrated with their closest friends and family. We were honored to work with them to bring their wedding stationery dreams to life!

Invitation Suite

Since Lauren and Andrew were getting married on an early summer day in coastal New England, hydrangeas and pale blues were perfect design details to showcase. With the multiple cards the couple planned to include in their invitation suite, we enjoyed playing with the florals and modern calligraphy to create a cohesive and simply beautiful look. And of course the wedding party bouquets coordinated perfectly!

We chose cool grey envelopes to pair with the blues of the suite which included the invitation, RSVP card, and details card. We also created a coordinating rehearsal dinner invitation for the couple’s family and wedding party to attend. All these were held in place with a simple piece of tied twine before being tucked into their envelope.

We always love the special touch of hand lettered envelopes and the pop of white lettering on these was just perfect. To make these envelopes even more unique we added a matching hydrangea liner, setting the tone of Lauren and Andrew’s wedding from the first moment their guests opened their invitations.

Day of Details

We carried through the hydrangea and modern calligraphy look to Lauren and Andrew’s wedding day details. The couple gifted their guests with a welcome bag complete with a coordinating sticker. We also had fun chalk lettering a welcome sign for their ceremony. To complete their ceremony, we designed a cohesive program for their guests to enjoy.

Maryellen and Chris got married on a beautifully misty New England day. Despite Mother Nature’s attempt to rain on their parade, these two couldn’t have looked more radiant. We loved working with them to create an elegant and sophisticated look for their stationery, which complemented their classic style and beautiful venue.

Invitation Suite

Maryellen knew she wanted to showcase our hand lettered script to create a simple yet unique invitation suite. While she wasn’t sure at first if she’d like any additional design details, she ended up falling for the greenery option we proposed. We love that the watercolor greenery adds a pop of color and intrigue to our beautiful taupe calligraphy! It also tied in perfectly with the couples’ wedding day florals: classic white flowers with pops of green.

The taupe calligraphy and greenery carried throughout the invitation, RSVP card, and details card. All of the pieces were brought together with a matching belly band and inserted into a dark green envelope.

For the envelopes, we used gold ink to allow the hand lettered addresses to really pop. And one of our favorite design details on this envelope is the greenery patterned custom liner. We love when we get to design elements of an envelope that carry through the look and feel of the items inside – it is the first thing guests see after all!

Day of Details

Maryellen and Chris’s wedding day details kept all of the same design elements as their invitation suite for a perfectly cohesive look. We love when couples have this attention to detail! The reception space was open, elegant, and light-filled, allowing guests to focus on the florals and designed pieces on display. We tied the greenery design into all of their pieces, including hand lettered escort cards, table numbers, a ceremony program, and signage. But the showstopper was this glass welcome sign surrounded by beautiful florals. So lovely!

Maryellen & Chris’s wedding was carefully planned and elegant beyond belief. We just love how everything tied together! Scroll on to see photos of Maryellen & Chris on their wedding day!

Allison and Justin got married on beautiful summer day on Elihu Island, just off the coast of their hometown in Stonington, Connecticut. It was a dreamy day full of picture perfect details and sunshine, and the love between these two radiates in all of their photos.

Allison was involved with her stationery design from the moment we got in touch. We loved all of her ideas and had so much fun working with her to bring her vision to life!

Save the Dates

Allison & Justin’s save the dates were the first item guests received to set the tone of their wedding. We usually suggest clients use their save the dates as a place to be playful and have fun, since these pieces don’t need to be as formal or convey as much information as invitations. Allison was excited to showcase their beautiful engagement photos (taken by Krush Graphics), so we created a photo “collage” to include a few. Justin works for Amtrak, so their photos at the railroad crossing by Elihu Island were not only beautiful, but also touchingly sweet and meaningful.

Invitation Suite

Allison had a vision of the colorful peonies she was including in her floral arrangements, and was excited to feature them in her invitation suite design. Along with the florals, we incorporated a gold geometric element woven throughout each of the pieces. Paired with the same playful yet elegant typeface we used on her save the date, the invitation design came together.

As a special touch, the invitation suite incorporated an insert with the history and map of Elihu Island, along with a personal note on why the couple chose that location for their wedding. Everything was pulled together with a custom belly band for the pieces to stay together in their envelope. The florals were even carried through to custom postage stamps affixed to the outside. See, we told you the details for this wedding were on point!

Day of Details

The beautifully set tables covered in peony-filled flower arrangements brought the entire reception tent to life. We carried through the design elements from the invitation suite to create the menu, which was tied together with our hand lettered place card tags and set on each plate. Allison also DIY embossed tags with their wedding hashtag to complete the look.

There were geometric pieces throughout, including the gorgeous hanging lanterns that the bride’s grandfather (Voo) helped make. We love that aspects of the invitation design were mimicked in so many elements of the reception. The large format seating chart we designed sat within an ornate gold framed and was adorned with greenery. Can you think of a more beautiful way to help guests find their tables?

Using the map of Elihu Island we drew for the invitation suite, we created an image for Allison to have printed on tote bags. We love how the white on navy pops on these beauties screen printed by Poor Morgan.

We loved being part of this creative, love-filled celebration. Scroll on to see photos of Allison & Justin at their wedding!
