A Very Flutter Wedding: The Stationery Suite

My heart flutters for watercolor heraldry. The whimsical designs and symbolic meanings behind them are all things truly special, thoughtful, and downright delightful! When it came time to design my invites, I (of course!) had a few requirements: custom heraldry, watercolor illustrations, letterpress, and a cheery Tuscan color palette. Thank goodness for my planner, the marvelous Joy Proctor! With this being one of the first steps in the wedding planning process, she helped streamline my thoughts into a beautiful stationery suite that would inspire the rest of the day.

Speaking of…have you heard of Jenna Rainey of Monvoir? If not, look her up stat! Jenna and I met a few years back at a calligraphy workshop where I fell in love with her art. Jenna created the prettiest watercolor heraldry that we used within the invitation suite and throughout the wedding. I’m pretty obsessed! The invite was sprinkled with custom illustrations by Jenna and was blind embossed with a floral design. Tied up with ribbon and placed in hand-calligraphed vellum envelopes, it made for some pretty heart-fluttering and colorful snail mail.

For the day-of, Jenna hand-calligraphed escort cards that were displayed on an antique dresser overflowing with flowers. For the place settings she made the most beautiful personalized menus tied with Silk & Willow ribbons. Inside the menus were custom watercolor illustrations reflecting the highlights of menu for the evening. #myheartsaflutter
