Geometric Ombre Wedding Invitation

Last weekend, my little brother got married and it was such a fun celebration for us on many levels. His wife asked me to help with the invitations and she herself already hand in her mind a grand idea. The main part of this invitation was this kind of geometric shape artwork that she HAND drew. It was amazing. Not surprising that she has a keen eye in design since she was a fellow art major except that she studied Interior Architecture & Design and The Academy of Art. I simply digitized it with some gradient and laid out the text for her. The envelopes featured sheep because of the book they both read and apparently initiated the relationship: A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami.

Okay, so now check out these amazing yarn knitted escort cards. I love the integration of this to the invite. It is such a unique escort card. Her maid of honor lovingly made all 250.

The reception was held outdoors at the beautiful Los Altos History Museum.

These unique DIY centerpieces were also one of my favorite little elements from the wedding. She created the geometric shapes similar to what she drew in the invitation with little coffee sipper straws. I’m going to have to ask her for a tutorial on those.

Moonie Intermission

Wow May is nearly over! Time flies! I will be sharing some invitation goodies later this week. For now, being inspired by some of my really talented illustrator friends (and I despite being a designer, am a terrible drawer) decided to do my own illustration of my childhood guilty pleasures, Sailor Moon! This is for all the moonies out there.  :) Here is a Moonie Intermission.

Sailormoon is is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi.  This is just personal fan art.

New Wedding Invitations in the Shop!

Hi everyone! It’s been busy so thanks to you who all check back :) Lisa has been really busy attending pastry school in San Francisco and working on fun recipes over at JolieJolie Fooderie’s blog. The perks of her commute for me are that she is near all the amazing food. She recently brought by an amazing  B. Patisserie which has AMAZING kogin amann (flaky croissant like buttery-sugary goodness.) It is probably one of the best ones I’ve had since I was in France a few years ago.

I (Rachel), on the other hand have been busy working on a few stationery and invitation projects. I just added and will be continually adding more wedding invitations, party invitations and save the dates to the shop!

Check out some of the latest additions.

You may have seen the foiled version of this invite, now I’m offering it as a more budget-friendly flat printed version.
