Vintage Flora Wedding Invitations
Here are some wedding invitations I custom designed for Megan & Paul.
Megan, an art historian and artist, contacted me after seeing some of my other invitation designs. She was especially inspired by Elizabeth Blackwell's "A Curious Herbal" as well as vintage French ephemera such as vintage soap and pharmacy labels. Megan and Paul are having a casual & intimate wedding celebration at Megan's parents' home in the beautiful English garden. All of these things inspired me greatly when designing Megan and Paul's invitations.
A unique idea we had was to include the details card on the RSVP - you simply snip off the details and return the RSVP.
I used a combination of vintage Flora illustrations with typography to help reflect the French ephemera look. We printed these in 2-colors on a textured, cream paper. The bride & groom were thrilled with the final result.
Other custom invitations:
• Sam & Rob's Earthy Art Nouveau invitations
• Stephanie & Max's Aqua and Emerald Letterpress invitations
• Carmen & TJ's Modern Topography invitations
Beautiful! Absolutely perfect for a garden wedding, and the "snip" idea is so clever. xo.
Beeeautiful.
These are amazing, Kathleen. I love the vintage botanical feel!
Lovely! And I give you a special gold star for knowing how to spell "Repondez." Most people screw it up and put "respondez". Bravo! :)

Okay, ever since seeing these I've had a burning question on my mind--
do YOU draw all those amazing images you put in your designs??
If so, WHY are you not selling crazy prints of your crazy art skills?
love, rudi
sk - Thank you! These are offset lithography.
Rudi - I do not draw these myself. The only things I sometimes draw myself are typography. Though, I love working with hand-drawn elements. :)
I can not even deal with how cute these are!!! Texture. color, the whole nine. Brava, Kathleen!
