These are from the same site...Minted...
They are awesome!
My fav has to be the hearts I think...or maybe the lips and mustache...or maybe the bunting flags?
All I know is for the iconography/typography lover these are some mad, wicked products.
I really love when graphic designers look at presenting information differently too...ex: blocked text areas and vertical type...so mod and unique...LOVE!
So my mom has been bugging me about our invitations because I'm designing them and she gets a little psycho about the progress of wedding things from time to time. That being said, don't fret...I have been working on them...it's just sooooo hard...because I have all these ideas about what I want them to look like, and you only get one shot...once you send them out they become "Our Wedding Invitations"...and there's no turning back...lol!
Well I was over at Ruffled...one of my fav wedding blogs and I happened upon a post of theirs from yesterday and I thought I share it with you. Minted just came out with a whole bunch of new paper goodies and I am absolutely in love with pretty much all of them!
I am still determined to design my own, however, because I HAVE TO...I'm a designer for heaven's sake! But if I felt a little less creative or maybe even just a little less of a control freak...I would probably choose several of these and send out like 5 different suites to our guests.
If you love paper like me...you MUST check them out...so amazing!
These are my favorites and I have so many I'll split them into several posts...for now, "down-home" backyard weddings...if our wedding was outside, you bet I would've used the mason jar, firefly one! Love <3
This one would be perfect for childhood sweethearts...
This one would be perfect for "grandma-style-loving" people...aka...me...according to Lauren...or people who like to cross-stitch...OH! Those cross-stitched hearts are soooooooooooooo perfect!
This would be perfect for a wedding at a farm...OR...by a farmer's market...eh...like us...
Again perfect for a farm wedding...love the kraft paper...
And now for something completely different...up next I will share my favs for typography/iconography lovers...stay posted!
All images can be found on Minted's website...click!
I need opinions on invitations/save the dates. I love paper things+they're the 1st sneak peek at our wedding+the first thing to go out=this is BIG people. I'm posting some inspiration for everyone. (in the parantheses is what I think the "concept" is...could lead to a theme?). What'd ya think...
love the seals (love letters)
love the lace and the color (vintage vs. modern)
love the material and laser etching (woodsy modern)
love the graphic (architecturally inspired)
love the lace and material (vintage) (could also be a classy coozy and double as a favor?)
love love love the maps/blueprints (like library vintage...ooo)
love the bold graphic on the natural material (natural vs. graphic/modern)
love the print and layout (traditional with a twist)
nvrm the kissing couple... love the graphics, layout, and theming (whimsical, graphic, and romantic)
I obviously like vintage...but am not sold that this is completely us (we are so multi-dimensional).
Even if you are not a "devoted" follower...only an occasional stalker...let me know what you think (i.e.-post your comment on my fb page, text me, call me, whatevs!). I'm trying to come up with a theme for the wedding (no football, or LOTR, etc.) that feels "us". So let me know how you perceive "us".
Helpful Hints: I've already posted the church and it looks like Soulard is going to be our reception place (see #4 for photos)...if this helps you
