Laser Cut Wrap Cherry Blossom Invitations

Laser Cut Cherry Blossoms

What could be more perfect than laser cut cherry blossoms and all the DC landmarks for a spring wedding in Washington, DC? This laser cut wrap was a custom design for a May wedding at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, inspired by the profile of DC cherry trees against the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. A beautiful pink cherry tree in full blossom folds over one side of the invitation inside, over the other side of the wrap featuring all the prominent Washington monuments and landmarks. The invitation pieces themselves were printed in beautiful gray letterpress ink, on 100% cotton paper.

The Detail of Laser Cutting

To create the small and delicate design of the cherry blossoms and DC scene, nothing was more perfect than laser cutting to achieve each tiny detail. As an added touch, the silver paper for the wrap was first printed in pink on one side, before the laser cutting was done, to give the feel of the pink hues of cherry blossoms and to contrast with the silver monuments and buildings underneath. The result was a truly unique and elegant laser cut wrap, further highlighted by the always-stunning letterpress print inside.

Great Gatsby Art Deco Wedding Invitations

Art Deco Wedding Invitations

For these Art Deco wedding invitations it was all about a glamorous and elegant black and gold affair! Letterpress and foil stamping were the prints of choice. Deep black paper printed in gold foil, with a gold paper and black foil on the back featuring the couple’s custom Great Gatsby monogram. A green edge painting, letterpress reply cards, gold with black foil reception cards, and a fantastic green shimmery envelope liner completed the set. An intricate original art deco border gives beautiful detail to this foil stamped invitation design. All the guests knew it really was time for dancing on the tables!

A Great Gatsby theme

The inspiration for the theme was a Great Gatsby extravaganza, with theme colors of gold, black, and emerald green. We carried this theme through to all of the wedding day items including cocktail napkins and programs. The champagne was flowing and a Gatsby-style part followed! Everything was created as a custom design, including the custom monogram and border.

Coral and Waves Letterpress and Foil

A Different Kind of Beach Theme Wedding, Coral and Waves

Our client came to us and wanted something a little different but her wedding invitation had to include waves, coral shapes and a monogram for her and her future husband. She loved the look and feel of letterpress and wanted texture and a touch of gold foil. With that in mind, we inserted a design pattern of waves into a quatrefoil border which raised the center panel giving this set the desired textured. Now that the main invitation design was complete all we had to do to pull it all together is add some design elements to the other cards including coral inks. You have to admit everything looks better when it is letterpressed.

Recently we decided to play around with the way that we display our invitation designs on the web and thought that stop motion would be a fun experiment. There’s sound to this video so if you’re in an office make sure your speakers are turned down as to not alert your coworkers that your searching for the perfect wedding invitations.
