A brilliant invitation designed to reflect the formal dress code for the celebration of Acne Paper’s 5th issue. Simple die-cut card, folded and embellished with spot UV and copper coloured ink.

Today’s post about Christine Celic Strohl on designworklife was a really good feature (as usual!). designworklife is really one of my favourite design blogs because the blogger, Courtney, always has the best finds and consistently delivers amazing content everyday. She is also a bride-be-herself and blogger behind Head vs. Heart which is a wedding blog that really inspired me to do this.

Christine has some amazing work from Mucca Design, and some very  impressive invitations. I love the limited colour palettes and clean typography. The illustrations and ornaments are always a nice touch, but not overwhelming.

My favourite has got to be this baby announcement. The colour choice and technique is very suitable, and not just a generic baby pink and ducks. Hopefully Sam and I will get to do some watercolouring soon!

This wedding stationary set is designed by Chris Trivizas from Greece, who packaged the invitations inside tin cans. It is a custom to attach the cans to the back of a car after the couple is married, so he includes string and an infographic explaining how to tie the cans to the car.

I like how he incorporates a real can, so it is tactile and can be used for the traditional purpose too. I’d love to find more original wedding ideas in the form of packaging!
