Arabic Wood Greeting Cards from Natoof

Arabic Wood Greeting Cards from Natoof:

Mariam from Natoof, a creative studio based in Dubai, sent over these lovely cards that she designed for the month of Ramadan.  The flat note cards feature Miriam’s botanical illustrations with Arabic calligraphy, all printed on eco-friendly birch.  The intricate designs are so beautiful!

From Mariam: It’s always exciting to find a new material for our artwork.  Though we love paper and we love wood laser engraving, these flat birch eco-friendly wood cards are absolutely fabulous.  We thought of trying it for our season’s greeting cards and it turned out great.  Having colors printed on wood is a blast, the card is printed with beautiful flowery illustrations in the shades of dark purple, blue, yellow, green and with Arabic typography.

Thanks Mariam!

Ilene + Lawrence’s Chateau-Inspired Formal Wedding Invitations

Ilene + Lawrence’s Chateau-Inspired Formal Wedding Invitations:

The ladies from Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence sent over these gorgeous wedding invitations created for a black tie wedding.  The ladies of Lucky Luxe are known for their romantic and ornate designs, and this invitation is perfectly suited for a formal wedding.  The full suite includes a formal invitation, accommodations card, rsvp, and an invitation to Sunday brunch, all packaged together with a beautiful letterpress belly band and printed on thick cotton paper.  So pretty!

From Annalee: This wedding is going to be at the Chateau in New York and is very much inspired by classic French romance and calligraphic elements.  The bride was originally interested in the Deco and L’Oiseau designs from our collection but ultimately decided on a bespoke invitation that combined elements from both designs.

Thanks ladies!  You can check out more from Lucky Luxe right here!

Custom Ketubahs and Wedding Certificates from Starshaped Press

Custom Ketubahs and Wedding Certificates from Starshaped Press:

I love it when couples incorporate ketubahs and wedding certificates into their wedding ceremony; my husband and I incorporated a ketubah into our wedding back in 2008 and I’m still smitten with the tradition.  I don’t often get to see custom wedding certificates, so I was thrilled when Jen from Starshaped Press sent me a note with some of her recent custom letterpress ketubah and certificate projects.  I’ve picked out a few of my favorites to share – aren’t they pretty?

Thanks Jen!

Did you have a custom ketubah or certificate created for your wedding?  If so, I’d love to see it!  You can send it to me right here!

Jenna + Daniel’s Desert Cactus Wedding Invitations

Jenna + Daniel’s Desert Cactus Wedding Invitations:

Designer Alison Iven sent over these beautiful invitations that she created for her best friend’s wedding in Arizona.  I love the hand lettering and the desert botanical illustrations!  The bride loves tea, so in addition to the invitations and rsvp card Alison incorporated tea bags with the bride and groom’s initials and wedding date to help serve as a reminder for guests.  The entire suite was packaged together in a green vellum inner envelope with a cactus illustration on the belly band.  So pretty!

From Alison: I was very excited and honored to design invitations for my best friend, Jenna, for her wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona.  The venue was a major inspiration for the couple and they wanted the invitations to reflect a laid back Southwestern elegance.

I created pen and ink illustrations of different types of cacti and custom typography using only one color for flexible printing options and to keep the cost down.

Pieces include invites and envelopes, RSVP cards, return address stamp, thank you cards, tea bags, and table numbers.

Thank you so much Alison!
