kristen and james: a chic, bright affair

so we all know about the traditional wedding invitation...cream stock featuring engraved text with a black script.  and while that is lovely and elegant, the infusion of color can really make a traditional-minded invite come alive.  take this invitation we did for kristen and james' june wedding - it's classic in that it's simple text in script and block letters with a tiny iris motif at the top - inner and outer envelopes (oh the drama of two envelopes!  love it.), reply card with an envelope.  pretty customary, right?

but then - we used an eggplant ink printed in thermography for the invitation and mounted it on a rich yellow cardstock...lined the inner envelope with a gorgeous yellow canary print...and for an extra dose of the beet color, used a purple reply envelope.  the result is a bold, resplendent invitation that just screams FUN.



here are a few pictures from their beautiful day!!  loving the purple and yellow carried throughout.








what a stunning couple!!  congratulations kristen and james!
