Jess & Ben: Illustrated Sailing Wedding Invitations

September 20, 2008 in Blog • Weddings-Blog • Custom Weddings • Wedding Invitations

Jessica and Ben’s favorite hobby is sailing, which they love to do together.  This invitation is two parts — the main drawing is a 5" x 7", full color drawing featuring Allison and Ben in their wedding outfits, sailing in the San Francisco Bay.  The invitation card is a slightly smaller 1-color letterpress which contains the invitation wording and a small line drawing of their boat.

Details

The main drawing is an A7 flat card with digital printing; the invitation card is an A6 size letterpress flat card.
Drawings include two people and one background, plus one additional insert.

Jess and Ben’s Invitations!

June 7, 2008 in Blog • Weddings-Blog • Custom Weddings • Wedding Invitations

 I finished these awhile back, but I didn’t have time to post them!  Check them out!  Here’s the invitation, as it will be mailed out:

This invitation is made up of two parts: the main invitation and a bigger drawing for some added fun.  This couple is super into sailing; I learned so much about the sport while working on these invites!  For example, that purple sail is called a spinnaker.  They come in all sorts of colors, but Jess and Ben’s is a special shade of purple.  Jess is interested in horticulture, so she asked that I include plants and oak trees on Angel Island, in addition to other personal details.  The result is a very personal invitation!

Here’s the main invitation.  This is flat-printed, but would look awesome letterpressed, too.

Happy wedding day, Jess and Ben!

A & B’s Rehearsal Dinner Invites

A is one of the sweetest people I have ever met.  She and B are getting married on August 3rd, and they wanted a fun invitation for their August 2nd rehearsal dinner.  I (of course) was happy to oblige!  The dinner is at a super cute restaurant called Zazu, which is located in an eye-catching red barn-type building.  Check it out:

Look what’s on the way!  I’m really excited about this invitation suite–it’s so fun and vibrant!  M & A are getting married on the Fourth of July.  Their wedding colors are aqua and red (which look fantastic together, by the way!), and they’re getting married in a garden.  I’m so excited by how these turned out!

Here’s the whole set: thank you card, invitation and RSVP postcard.

I hope you love them as much as I do, M & A!
