Fancy labels

I'm such a sucker for all things invitations.

In this case, the unique treatment of these mailing labels is just wow!

Block print wedding invitation

I've talked a lot about wanting custom wedding invitations. It's one of the few areas where I would want to spend money. And yet, given my background in art and design, it also feels like an area where I should go DIY.

I originally had my heart set on letterpress, one thing I can't quite DIY all by my lonesome; however, once I thought about doing block prints instead, everything clicked into place.

How perfect to have original artwork for the invitations! And block prints I can totally do myself.

I've shown a few different block prints here as inspiration!

Of course this last one would have to be two birdies. Love the red breast (heart).

Letterpress inspiration

I wonder if I can somehow take some inspiration from this letterpress poster to create our own invites for the wedding...

Chinatown invitations

Love the art on these invites from bird and banner. And the story is quite romantic in its own right!

Wedding Dress as film-inspired art form

Again, controversial I know. But I actually like this. Less for the practicality of it and more as a work of art.

Tippi Hedren is certainly popular as she has her own Barbie doll as well.
