Onyx is one of our absolute favorite new designs for 2016 (but to be fair we love them all!). So we kept the beautifully modern bones of Jamie Bertsch’s original design but softened it up just a touch with a neutral palette and flourished fonts for a slightly more feminine look.

San Diego’s Kona Kai Resort was the backdrop for Anne and Benjamin’s beachside wedding and they chose nautical inspired wedding invitations to set the tone for their guests. Our friends at Sweet Paper helped them customize our Mulberry design by adding nautical motifs and using Kelle McCarter’s flirty hand calligraphy to accent important text throughout their suite. A navy envelope liner in our pointed flap envelope carried through the sea-inspired palette.

Jennifer and Joel worked with our friends at The Papery of Philadelphia to create these modern typography wedding invitations. The couple chose our Irving design and made a few small changes that had major impact – like a foil stamped border and festive dots on the reception card. The black letterpress and tawny matte foil palette was contemporary but elegant, paralleling their venue Front & Palmer.

Last week we participated in the 2016 New York Weddings Event, where New York City brides had the opportunity to meet with dozens of the city’s best vendors for everything from wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses to caterers and dance studios. The event was held at Capitale, a lavish event venue in the former Bowery Savings Bank building. Jumbo white balloons and hot pink and metallic gold fringe decor lined the entryway for an impressive start to the event. They even dressed up the Capitale lions!
We had an intimate space in the main ballroom where we displayed panels of some of our newest invitation designs, along with baskets of best-selling invitations and save the dates for brides and grooms to browse for wedding inspiration.
Spring was definitely in the air at Thursday’s event – aren’t those tissue paper flowers from event planner 5th Avenue Weddings beautiful? We also loved the enchanting look of the Designs by Ahn display, which included a mix of impressive floral arrangements, even taller greenery displays, and romantic candles.
Many thanks to all the brides and grooms who came out to meet with us at the 2016 New York Weddings Event! Be sure to check out the event hashtag on Instagram (#NYMWedEvent) for even more photos!
Our friends at Urbanic Paper Boutique worked with Karen and David on their modern geometric wedding invitations, using our Briolette design as inspiration. They were married at The Parker Palm Springs and chose these invitations to compliment the hip and chic atmosphere The Parker is known for. A retro color palette of prussian blue, pale gray and a custom pink were highlighted by gold matte foil and a classic color envelope liner in prussian blue added a hint of sophistication.
