Loving this wood type invi­ta­tions suite by John Thomas. There are some incred­i­ble details in there if you look closely.

I fell in love with Linseed Paperie the sec­ond I laid eyes on their port­fo­lio, which is what I absolutely had to do a two-part fea­ture on them. So here you’re look­ing at part one, fea­tur­ing the wed­ding invi­ta­tions of owner Shanan Kurtz. I’ll let her explain the inspi­ra­tion in her own words:

For my wed­ding invi­ta­tion suite, Chris and I wanted some­thing warm, tac­tile, and not too matchy-matchy.  I col­lected leaves, berries, pho­tographs and other small objects, had them pho­tographed as part of a col­lage, and then printed the image dig­i­tally.  Then the invite text was let­ter­pressed on top (along with the rsvp cards).  The suite arrived in a kraft-paper box with the paper goods nes­tled on a bed of wool check­ered fab­ric (some guys wore the fab­ric as pocket squares to the wed­ding, which was a nice sur­prise).  There were feath­ers tied with rib­bon, attached to a tag with our wed­ding web­site URL.  The cal­lig­ra­phy on the boxes was done by my friend Lisa Harrison.

I am lov­ing all of the incred­i­ble tex­tural ele­ments she included in this suite — espe­cially the col­lage — that come together to really make open­ing the invi­ta­tion an expe­ri­ence in itself. Amazing.
