Wheat is a very popular motif in our area of the country! This couple chose a stylized wheat graphic and had us print it in a soft green to match their invitation colors. Perfect for a Summer wedding on the Palouse!

Julie + Jonathan: Garden Damask inspired
I started talking to Julie about her design last December. She knew that she wanted something vintage, but she was loving damask. She also said "There is somewhat a french gardens (tulleries) theme to the wedding if that helps. So, I guess I like a more antique damask rather than anything super modern." I suggested doing a more floral damask to pull in the garden theme of the reception. Within a day we had settled on the graphic and then the fun began.
I made a custom grunge effect to make it look worn and vintage.
I started with the graphic to get Julie's style. Even though she wanted vintage and not modern, her comments led me to take a chance at this awesome font layout and type. I love the lower case script and upper case serif font.
The rsvp postcard was designed with a stripe pattern for that formal vintage feel. I included a saying that I really liked at the bottom and it will be showing up in its entirety at the wedding.
Custom stamps were added on the back to complete the floral pattern.
I continued the stripe pattern on the reception card.
Envelope wraps complete the look on dark brown envelopes with side flaps.

Chicago Save the Dates
You may remember that I posted Chicago skyline save the dates last week. Want to know something ironic? Dena and Beth contacted me on the same day, within hours of each other. Their weddings are both on October 24th and they both loved Heather's Chicago skyline wedding invitations. But Dena's save the date ended up being something totally different. I made this skyline by sketching an actual picture of the Sear's Tower and the Chicago River. Dena loved Beth's "Windy City" reference on her save the dates so I incorporated it in these as well. Dark blue liners in the envelopes are such a pretty touch against the cream cards and envelope.
