Today’s real wedding feels straight out of a classic rom-com! If you’re looking for a way to elevate your wedding day stationery with personalized design details and luxurious materials, you’re going to love today’s custom stationery suite for a classic Beverly Hills, CA spring wedding.
With a classic blue and white color palette, Wedgewood inspired floral design, elegant letterpress printing, and a customized monogram — this specialty stationery suite set the stage for a truly unforgettable California wedding.
Custom Monogram
A custom couple monogram was the starting point for this wedding stationery suite. We think a custom designed monogram is a beautiful and classic visual representation of the commitment of marriage. We ended up creating two versions of Kelly and Christian’s monogram. One featured the intertwined K and C which we utilized on the wedding invitation suite, wedding programs, and ceremony signage. The three letter monogram, featuring the couple’s last name, was utilized for the reception details such as signage, napkins, menus, and the dance floor! In order to create a cohesive feel from beginning to end, we also designed custom thank-you cards featuring the couple’s three letter monogram.
Letterpress Stationery
Setting the stage for an elevated wedding day begins with luxurious wedding stationery. Choosing an extra thick paper for your wedding invitation is sure to wow your guests and allows for more customization in your wedding invitation design. For this timeless wedding stationery suite, our couple opted for a thick card stock with blue beveled edges that tied into the blue letterpress printing.
What’s so special about the letterpress printing on the invitation is that it actually includes three colors in the letterpress printing — two shades of blue and dark grey. Extending letterpress printing to the RSVP card and details card is another way to really elevate a wedding suite.
One of our favorite elements to create was the grommeted oval card stack containing information on the welcome party and post-wedding brunch. We love experimenting with different shapes and creative designs! The modern oval shape acts as a nice contrast to the more formal shape of the suite overall.
All of the elements of this suite were beautifully nestled inside a custom created pocket that was blind embossed with the couple’s monogram. This creates a real wow factor when opening the invitation for the first time, especially against the backdrop of the blue and white floral envelopes.
Wedding Day Stationery Extras
To create a cohesive look and feel, we love getting to work with our couples on day-of elements. To match the invitations, we designed a classic feeling letterpress wedding program — each hand tied with blue ribbon — as well as matching ceremony signage.
Following the ceremony, the three letter monogram was utilized to lend an extra personal touch to elements like custom matchbooks, custom drink stirrers, and custom cocktail napkins. Two of our favorite uses of this special monogram include the embroidered linen hand towels carried by servers and the larger-than-life dance floor design!
Speaking of larger-than-life, we love how the large scale seating chart came together. We created three four by five foot posters displayed on platforms and accented with customized blue pennant flags to help guests find their seats. This visual impact, combined with the breathtaking floral design by Third + Park, really set the stage for the reception.
The elegant blue and white table setting was accented by custom designed menus and hand calligraphed place cards.
