Keri + Carter Wedding Invitations

October 09, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

I spotted this lovely invitation suite, designed by Emory Cash, over at FPO the other day and just had to feature it here. The hand lettering, the ultra subdued color palette, the incorporation of pattern, the peacocks — wonderful, wonderful stuff! I love that more and more couples are stepping outside the box when it comes to wedding invitation design and are using the occasion to create something that truly expresses who they are as individuals:

Linda & Harriett Letterpress Flower Pins

September 28, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m loving these amazing flower pins from Linda & Harriett, first spotted over on Amy Atlas’s blog. Each pin is made to order and is constructed by hand from letterpress misprints. What a great way to recycle, and what a pretty result! The pins could be used in so many ways — as pins on clothing, pinned onto front of the tablecloth at the wedding party table at a wedding, as gift wrap embellishments or closures for gift bags, shower favors, garlands, and the list goes on and on.
