Nashville Map Save the Date / Francis wedding

Sometimes you just click with a client and this was definitely one of those occasions where it all just came together so smoothly. This concept of a modern monogram mixed with a local map, and vintage postage was right up our alley. We created a custom map backer and envelope liner that included locations special to the bride & groom. 

The illustrations give such a personal tough to the save the date and add some whimsy. The cherry on top is the collection of vintage postage we sourced for the envelope. It fit perfectly, had such a fun mix of color, and really wowed guests. Stay tuned for the upcoming invitation!

Hermitage Hotel rehearsal dinner invitation / Nashville

My little brother got married this summer so we whipped up some mighty special details for his big day. First to share is the rehearsal dinner invites. We used the vintage Hermitage Hotel illustration I'd originally scanned from an old letterhead. The card was letterpress printed on ultra thick stock to give it some heft. We then lined the envelopes with another vintage find, a Nashville map scan from an old travel booklet.

 We also illustrated this monogram "B", that is similar to the Hermitage Hotel logo, to use on napkins & menus. 

Downtown Nashville Save the Date

We designed this suite to give guests a little taste of the Music City vibe. When we met with the bride she fell in love with white printing on kraft paper. Very fitting for the Country Music Hall of Fame venue they're using. We went to work illustrating the downtown skyline and coming up with some fun typography. This invitation included white foil stamping on French speckletone that was duplexed to be extra thick. The final touch was a watercolor cowboy boot we designed to tie around and some killer country western stamps. Had to give it some honky-tonk flair.
