Is anyone else’s favorite day of the year Pantone Color of the Year day? We are so excited to see the bright, classic blue they’ve chosen for this year. We’ve already seen the trend coming to life, with our clients looking for ways to add pops of color to their invitation suites, hinting at the florals, tablescapes, and fabrics that will be center stage on their big day. Schedule an appointment to stop by the studio so we can bring your color dreams to life!

We love how Kelsey and Connor incorporated hand-made touches into their elegant spring wedding. Their invitations featured calligraphy from Rosann Konieczny and a custom watercolor illustration of The Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel – The Depot by Cait Courneya. A champagne envelope with a subtle shimmer tied into their color palette, which featured luxe neutrals and delicate beading. What a perfect way to kick off wedding season. Congrats, Kelsey and Connor!

There are so many different ways to add texture and design to your wedding stationery and “day of” pieces. Today we are highlighting translucent vellum – a high quality paper resembling parchment paper, but thicker. Vellum can be the perfect addition to any type of wedding suite – ranging from traditional to contemporary to floral.

We will show a few different ways to include vellum in your suite, but the options are endless!

This colorful, floral wedding at the Lafayette Club screams SUMMER! We made a beautiful custom sketched crest we pulled into their day of stationery from their invitation suite. Keeping things cohesive on all stationery pieces is my #1. And who can resist this custom sketched dog napkin of the couples puppy. The cocktail napkin is a great place to do something personal and fun. xo

Laine + Devan were having an elegance, organic, modern fall wedding and wanted me to design some “day ofs” to reflect their vibe. I LOVE a modern, simple look, if you can’t tell! Laine’s father made all these copper hangers–amazing. I used different papers, shapes and printing methods to add texture and cohesiveness in a modern way. I LOVE how these turned out! Remember the day ofs for your wedding.. will I need menus, programs, escort cards or a seating chart, cocktail napkins, etc. We can help you with ALL of these and they really pull the look of your wedding together.

I have a lot of brides as me about how they can make a traditional wedding a little more “them”. Basilica wedding with a Minikahda Club reception says elegance, traditional and classic but Anna wanted to make it more comfortable and more intimate for her guests. She stayed with a neutral, soft palate and added texture! Texture comes out of my mouth about 12 times a day, no joke. We can do this by using multiple printing methods, thickness of papers, ribbon, etc. Anna did a beautiful thick cotton letterpress for her invitation and then digitally printed on eggshell paper for her inserts. We always recommend putting your dollars into the invitation–as this is the most important piece. We then added a light green cotton ribbon to reflect all the greenery she was using in the decor. This was a perfect first impression of their day to their guests.

Love a summa wedding! Lucy + Jake’s wedding last July at the Machine Shop was filled with greenery, elegance, a touch of modern and loads of love. Lucy wanted a custom suite that reflected the modern/openness/industrial vibe of the Machine Shop but softened it with greenery, blushes and whites. We pulled all of these together to create this suite which was printed letterpress + silver foil for the names. It’s really one of my favorite suites from last year! We still have a couple openings for July and August weddings–let us know if you need help with your custom suite.
