Our ever-popular Colette calligraphy wedding invitations set the tone for Lindsey and Michael’s airy beach wedding in Southern California. Their ceremony overlooked the ocean, and took place on the grounds of the The Ritz Carlton Dana Point. Lindsey’s bridesmaids wore long, floaty dresses in the softest shade of sandy gray, which mimicked the letterpress printing on the couple’s invitation. No beachside wedding would be complete without photos of the bride and groom walking along the sand – and we love how Cami Jane Photography captured the happy couple post-ceremony. To see more photos from Lindsey and Michael’s big day, head over to Junebug Weddings!

Lauren and John hosted their wedding at New Jersey’s Pleasantdale Chateau – a venue that would feel right at home in any classic fairytale. They modified our Fitzgerald design by removing the gatsby-inspired fonts and motifs and substituting hand calligraphy to add elegance and sophistication to the simplified border. A color palette of pewter and gold matte foil was a classic choice for these romantic wedding invitations.

Sandy and Kain chose our art deco inspired Odeon suite to set the tone for their elegant wedding at Oheka Castle. They worked with Ipanema Press to create their letterpress and gold foil stamped stationery suite, which included save the dates, invitations, reception cards, reply cards, and thank you notes. The couple even took advantage of our free favor card promotion by supporting the North Shore Animal League (the same shelter where they adopted their toy poodle last year!). With help from her mother, Sandy planned the entire wedding on her own, letting the subtle, art deco theme be her guide. Details like beaded bridesmaid dresses, decorative gold accents, and a vintage getaway car tied the look together. Visit Style Me Pretty to see more details!
