One of the things I love most about day-of paper i One of the things I love most about day-of paper is how it carries a wedding’s design all the way through the day.For Emily and Todd, that meant a welcome sign greeting guests as they arrived and table numbers waiting for them at their seats, all designed in the same soft palette as their invitation suite. Pale blue calligraphy on soft white paper, with floral accents pulled straight from their custom illustration work.By the time guests sat down, every detail had been working together since the moment their invitation arrived. That’s what makes a wedding feel intentional. Nothing is an afterthought.Planning & design | @eventsbyemily.pgh

Sometimes the venue is too beautiful to leave off Sometimes the venue is too beautiful to leave off the invitation 🤍💙This couple got married at the Carnegie Museum in the Hall of Sculpture, and if you’ve ever stood in that room you know it’s stunning.So instead of just naming the venue, I illustrated the whole room and printed it on vellum to wrap around their suite. When guests opened the envelope, they got a little preview of where they’d be standing on the wedding day.Custom illustrations like this are one of my favorite ways to make a suite feel like your wedding, not just a wedding.Save this if you’re getting married somewhere meaningful and want it woven into your stationery#carnegiemuseumwedding #pittsburghwedding #pittsburghweddings #pittsburghbride #weddinginvitations
Emily and Joseph’s suite is one of my favorite kin Emily and Joseph’s suite is one of my favorite kinds to design. Classic, refined, and built around really beautiful materials.The star of the suite is the paper itself. Handmade with natural deckled edges, the kind that gives every piece an organic texture you can feel before you even read it. Paired with elegant typography and a small floral illustration capturing the blooms that meant the most to them, the whole suite feels timeless without feeling overdone.Sometimes the most elegant design is also the simplest. Beautiful paper. Thoughtful typography. A few perfect details that make it theirs.Photographer @anchorstudiostx
Cassie and Brad’s wedding suite was built around P Cassie and Brad’s wedding suite was built around Phipps Conservatory.A custom venue illustration anchored the invitation, surrounded by hand-painted florals in the warm, late-summer palette to match their day. Soft buttercream, dusty rose, deep burgundy, the kind of fall tones you only see at a botanical garden in September.Every detail was chosen with their venue in mind. The illustration. The colors. The way the suite would feel in someone’s hands when they opened the envelope and got their first glimpse of the day to come.This is what custom invitations are really for. Telling guests where they’re going, but also how it’s going to feel when they get there.Photographer: @adam_michaels

There is something about addressing envelopes by h There is something about addressing envelopes by hand that I will never get tired of.Each name written one at a time. Slowly. Intentionally.
This is the very first thing your guests will hold in their hands before your wedding, and that first impression sets the tone for everything that follows.It is the kind of detail your guests notice and remember, the kind that gets them texting you before they even RSVP.Save this if hand-addressed envelopes are on your list, or reach out when you are ready to start planning yours.#weddinginvitations #weddingcalligraphy #envelopecalligraphy #weddingstationery #custominvitationsVideo by @carleyzuercher
