Meet Marbella: Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Marbella Ikat Letterpress Wedding Invitation by Lauren Chism Fine Papers

I kind of dropped off introducing my wedding invitations, but I want to get back to it because the inspiration boards are just too pretty not to share.

The Marbella Wedding Invitation, from the Fresh Collection, features a subtle ikat pattern with an overlay of modern typography. The tiny bow adds a little whimsy to this modern design.

I can't get enough of this olive green and gray right now, and I love seeing it translated into a wedding. Succulents anyone? Yes, please!

Featured: Style Me Pretty with Simply Sarah Photography

 photo Simply-Sarah_Lauren-Chism5.jpg I am so excited to see this photo shoot! A few months ago, I sent off some wedding invitations samples to Sarah Todd, from Simply Sarah Photography, for a beach themed photo shoot. Sarah chose the colors scheme which was completely different than the sample invitations. It worked out perfectly with the rest of the design elements and was really fun to see it in a completely different light.

I love how they styled the invitation with a seafan and in the sand. Perfection.

I know that non-white dresses are rare, but this gold gown is a stunner and I love how magical it makes everything. It was my favorite part of the shoot!

My entire Resort collection is inspired by this type of beachy elegance, and so as you can imagine, I loved everything about this shoot. Check out more of the images on Style Me Pretty!

Meet Boca

Have you forgotten about my invitation inspiration series? I haven't! I am only about half way through my collection and have so many beautiful inspiration boards to share with you! Shall we begin again? First of the new year, is Boca!

Palm Papers Wedding Invitations

The Boca invitation, from the Regal Collection, features simple type with a lovely soft background. Though subtle, the damask background is extremely elegant and chic. Boca was flat printed, but much like my other invitations, was designed to work with letterpress as well.

When it came to inspiration, I again found myself with endless options. Black and white is just so darn elegant and some damask patterns just never go out of style!

I teamed up with Matt & Julie Weddings, Blue Lotus and Chips & Salsa Design Studio and I have to say that I am quite loving all these fall florals and those plates! Gorgeous and fun!
