Watercolor & Hand-Stitched Plaid Wedding Invitation Suites

I was so thrilled when Jessica at Lemongrass Photography contacted me about doing custom invitations, menus, and place cards for her Loving Love Workshops! I loved helping discuss with her ideas, themes, and creative avenues to venture down for these two days of instruction and learning. You can view all of her workshop blog post's here! I am beyond pleased with how well they came out. If you are interested in purchasing either one of these invitation suites for a future wedding, please send me an email and I would love to work with you -- jenny@turquoisefeathers.com! Enjoy!

Nate & Michelle's Barn Inspired Wedding Invitations

I was so honored when Nate and Michelle asked me to design their wedding invitations a few months ago. They told me they were trying their best to include as many friends and family as they could in the planning and work of the wedding and I LOVE that idea!! Why wouldn't you asked friends you love and care for to take your wedding pictures, design your invites, and be most involved in your special day?  Brides and Grooms like Nate & Michlle make my job so much easier! They were lovely people to work with and I was so thrilled with the design we came up with.

Being that their wedding reception is at the Centennial Barn in Cincinnati, we knew wanted to incorporate the barn doors into the design. We came up with this idea so that guests would experience and open the doors first and foremost (just as they will upon arriving at the reception), followed by all of the wedding details and information. We included a 3.5x5in RSVP postcard and a double sided map with the invitation, tied it up with a gray and white striped string, and attached a circular tag with their "logo" and registry information.  We incorporated their wedding colors (purple, gray and black) in the design and gave it a fun and typographic yet slightly vintage style.  Finally, I created a custom return address stamp for back flap of the matte gray envelopes. Thanks Nate and Michelle for including me in your day! Can't wait to see you tie the knot in just a few short weeks :)

Thanks for supporting Turquoise Feathers! Feel free to comment or message me with any questions or inquiries!

Vintage Inspired Handkerchief Save-the-Dates

I AM SO EXCITED to finally have a chance to post these. I may be a bit biased because the bride and groom are so wonderful, but I absolutely love these save-the-dates! Blair and Danny's vintage inspired outdoor wedding seemed the perfect fit for a design such as this one. The variation of prints and patterns made a beautiful backdrop for a simple yet dainty and vintage layout of typography. I folded and attached the handkerchiefs to cardstock with ribbon for easier mailing in a lovely pearl envelope. I  hand wrote each guests' address in a beautiful script writting and finished with a custom return address stamp.   Enjoy!! :)

Until another day,

Seeds of Love

I love when I get the chance to be creative with my brides, and this invitation suite was no exception! Sherri and Randy were so great and trusted me from day one. They allowed me the freedom to come up with something beautiful that truly conveyed their love for the outdoors and gardening. The inspiration behind this invitation set was an outdoor field guide that would guide the guests in the ways of the wedding and the bride and groom's lovely story. We wanted to include a way for guests to plant their own vegetables, so we included a seed packet with each invite, all provided by a good friend of the bride. Sherri, being the amazing writer and editor that she is, came up with one of the most lovely wedding stories I have ever read, which I had the honor of putting onto paper. The tri-fold invitation field guide is printed on heavy kraft paper and hand illustrated. The rsvp features a creative mad lib for guests to fill out. Sherri let me know that they are going to have a prize for the most creative mad lib at the wedding reception! What an amazing idea!! RSVP cards were wrapped in the tri-fold invitation and seed packet and sent in a brown kraft paper envelope. Thanks Sherri and Randy for asking me to create the invitations for your big day! :)

James' First Birthday Invitations

So excited to finally be able to reveal these adorable first birthday invitations. They have been done for over a month now, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise for any of the guests who follow me on facebook or here on the blog :) I had such a fun time designing these! We wanted to do something that was out of the box, fun, and memorable for all the guests. When Lauren told me that it was a sports theme, I knew I had just the perfect idea. The circles allowed me to emphasize the shape of the various sports themed balls, display the necessary information, and create an excited experience for the families and children recieving the invitation. Such a cute final product and I couldn't be more pleased! Thanks Lauren and Ryan for choosing me! :)

I'll be back to chat soon with another creative idea :)
