Our collaboration with one of our amazing artists has opened up new doors in creating custom invitations for our clients. Not only doors but also windows, front porches, gorgeous trees, historic landmarks, and famous old homes. We then take these pieces of art and incorporate them into the design of our invitations and stationery. Jessica and Daniel's Papertale is one stunning example of how custom artwork can add a unique, personalized touch to the invitation suite.

We used the sketch on the front tab of the pocketfold. It was mounted on a graphite backing that brought together the envelope and the invitation backing in such a classy way. The drawing of The Dominion House in Guthrie, Oklahoma was perfect for the strong, clean design of Jessica and Daniel's Invitation. Having the location of the wedding incorporated into the design drew the guests into this breathtaking venue immediately.

The rich script font in combination with the block fonts were printed in navy and charcoal in order to tie in the colors from the envelope and pocketfold for the insert cards. The script font has a luxurious feel as it runs off the edges of each piece.

We created the custom postage using the artist's sketch of The Dominion House so that you would see the design in more than one facet. This peaks guests' interest in the gorgeous location of this event.

A simple response envelope can be taken to a whole new level with the gorgeous navy and charcoal printing of these fonts and the addition of the custom postage stamp.

Using an artist sketch of such a powerful, beautiful architectural structure can lend to the clean lines, strong feel, and formality of an invitation. We're finding inspiration in the richness of this artistic work.

DM Insight - Amy and Brandon's La Playa Papertale

Designing the stationery for Amy and Brandon's La Playa wedding was the perfect example of combining strength and softness. The use of pearlized papers and soft charcoal printing when combined with the subtle, floral accents gave the pieces both a rich, formal feel and and a subtle, southern elegance.
DM Insight - Merissa and Matthew's Papertale

"Less is more" is a popular saying or mantra in many aspects of design. Sometimes clean simplicity can make the boldest statement. This was the case in working on the invitation for Merissa and Matthew. Letterpress printing is a traditional method of printing using a printing press. During this process each invitation is produced with direct impression of an inked, raised surface against cardstock or paper. The look and feel of the technique gives the invitations depth and dimension.
DM Insight - Sydney and Parker's Papertale

Sydney and Parker came to me looking to capture an "Old Florida" feel in their wedding stationery. The golds and peaches needed to be featured in setting the tone for this elegant occasion. The wedding was to take place at The Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota and capturing the gandeur of this venue was important for the inspiration of this stationery.
DM Insight - Kelsey and Sean's Papertale

Madison, one of our assemblers at DM Paper Designs, introduced us to her friend and Chi Omega sorority sister, Kelsey. Kelsey came to our studio hoping that I could capture the rustic look and feel of their wedding venue location in all of the details of their wedding stationery. I knew the challenge would be to take the strength of the oak trees of Cross Creek Ranch and marry it with the soft, elegance needed for their wedding. During our intial meeting we brainstormed and I suggested ways to capture the contrast of the textures of the outdoors within the invitation suite. A special thank you to Austin Trenholm at Trenhom Photo for capturing all of the details.
