{Custom} Lluvia & Juan: Blue Block Type

Lluvia & Juan: Blue Block Type Wedding Invitations & Post Card RSVP Cards

When a couple wants bold type, that doesn’t mean the layout is going to lack any design emphasis or harmony. Type alone can create an amazing texture and structure that unifies the theme. I love working with type to fit into a space. Using various fonts that are both thick and thin helped fit everything together like a puzzle. We also vamped up the palette by using shades of periwinkle and blue to add more depth and interest to the design.

The design was complete with shades of blue, ivory and clean type for Lluvia & Juan’s wedding invitations. We saved on paper by using a RSVP post card and packed it all together in a folded periwinkle pocket that was held together by a vellum wrap. It was perfect; clean and modern just like they wanted. Everything was printed on a gorgeous ecru paper and ecru vellum.

{Semi-Custom} Optional Upgrades to Signature Collection Invitations

with one comment

For any of my Signature Collection Suites, I can customize the colors, wording and fonts without any additional charge. Sometimes, you just want something a little extra. No worries. The options are endless. Some upgrades can include a more unique paper option. Some paper options include, linen, cotton (100% tree-free–great for letterpress or flat printing), recycled or seed paper, card board, metallic, vellum or even fabric! Different printing techniques would need to be used, but, almost anything is possible!

This ivory shimmer stock jazzed up the design even more.This client also wanted to use the same elements on the invitation that were seen on the Save the Date. Not a problem.

Adding layers is another great idea to create depth and gradation. Using colored stock as a backer card creates a gorgeous frame to the invitation design.

Adding the backer card creates durability to the invite that instantly makes it feel thicker.

The embellishments are endless. Whether adding ribbon, crystal buckles, rhinestone accents or feathers, I can help you. What ideas do you have to make your invitations stand out from the crowd?

Having worked with G at Indie Design Studio was such an awesome collaboration. Her talent exceeds beyond any young entrepreneur mother I have ever met. Her numerous projects exude such talent and skill that I was stoked to have her redesign my website. I gush about her and her fabulous talents to this day. If you need a small business web site design and are interested in working with a company that is socially and environmentally conscious, check her out.

For my photo shoot I did with Choura Venue Services, back in December, I designed a wedding stationery suite to fit the look and feel of Asian opulence. I finally completed all the elements in the suite. I decided to change the colors to an indigo blue and pink for the color palette.
