A New Website for Bird & Banner

// // 2 replies

I’ve been a big fan of Bird & Banner since I first saw one of their wedding invitation designs, and I was so excited to see over on Oh Joy! that they’ve recently launched a brand new website to showcase their amazing work. They’ve also added a blog, and I didn’t realize that they have an Etsy shop where you can purchase some of their card designs, not to mention the awesome “City of Brotherly Love” pretzel bags shown below. Here’s a little eye candy to get you started before you wander off to check everything out at the new Bird & Banner site:

We finally have some sunshine around these parts, which reminds me that it’s summer. I really do need a reminder, given the weather that we’ve had lately. I spotted the perfect summer-y DIY over at Once Wed last week, and since I’m finally feeling the warmer weather and sunshine, I had to share it here.

Anna Bond of Rifle Design, creator of fantabulous illustrated wedding invitation designs, shows us how to make an oh so pretty lighted paper garland, perfect for outdoor weddings, parties, and even a spiffy barbecue. Head over to Once Wed for the step-by-step tutorial, and have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I adore lettering artist Crystal Kluge’s work, and I was so excited when she gave me a heads up about her latest releases, Nelly Script and Nelly Script Flourish. Drool … I absolutely love the hand drawn look and romantic feel of both, and I think that they would be at home on any elegant card or invitation. And, if you don’t have room in your wedding budget for custom calligraphy, I think that either font would be perfect for envelopes and/or labels. Available at MyFonts and Font Bros.

Crystal has also created the darling cootie catcher featuring Nelly Script (above), available as a free, downloadable PDF over at her site, Tart Workshop. Thanks for sharing, Crystal!
