Hello friends! Happy New Year to you all! To start 2014 I thought I'd share with you one of my ongoing projects from 2013. This lovely couple commissioned me to design the whole stationery shabang for their winter wedding, straddled in between Christmas and New Year. Yes you heard right! While everyone was winding down into post Christmas lethargy and nursing their swollen bellies, this couple was skipping down the aisle.
This was a lovely project to work on, one of my faves in fact. The brief was loose but I loved their enthusiasm for simplicity. Black print and recycled board runs all the way through and works really well for this winter wedding. I also loved their idea to have a staggered invitation booklet and sweet personal touches like the recipe card with the RSVP.
Here are some goodies from Rifle Paper Co. I've been seeing quite a bit of them out an about in smaller independent shops recently and have unashamedly fallen in love with their charming painterly style and limited colour palette. I am doubly happy to see their use of hand drawn text! Too often designers get lazy and use fonts that masquerade as handwritten typography (something I even succumb to when time is short), but a bit of extra time makes the end result so much more personal. You may be thinking I'm a bit of a font snob and, well... you'd be right. Have a look at their website to see some more papery goodness!
