We at Lilly & Louise had SO much fun designing Annie and Tyler’s wedding invitation. With a unique color palette of nudes, creams, black, and white, we mixed in textures of delicate lace, vintage french dictionary pages, blind embossed paper, and metallics to achieve our parisian glam look. If you’re wondering how all those elements would go together, here are some snaps of the process. And stay tuned–next we’ll share the finished invitation!

So the Save the Dates were mailed months ago and you just popped your Invitations in the mail. What’s next?!

 

Bring your big day full circle by using coordinating paper goods throughout the event. Little details like table numbers, escort cards, favor tags, menus, maps, personalized signage, and more, can make any wedding all the more special. We work with you and your wedding planner to develop the perfect pieces for your day–pieces that complement the design of the event, your colors, your venue, and most importantly, YOU.

 

At Lilly & Louise, we believe that when it comes to designing paper goods for your wedding, the opportunities to make your day a memorable experience are truly endless!

At Lilly & Louise, we love a chance to work with bold splashes of color and unique typefaces. When you take your first steps into creating paper memories for your big day, an open mind to things outside the box can take you endless places.

 

In this recent invitation for a Summer Texas wedding, our bride took a chance on us and let us create this collection using hand-drawn elements and fun lettering, combined with refined type and a bold yellow, black, and white color palette — perfect for sunny summer celebration.

 

 

We know our Entwined 2012 friends can highlight a bold color palette too, whether it’s in the photography, styling, linens, lighting, or sweet treats–you name it!

Snail Mail, You Know You Love It

These days, snail mail may seem old fashioned. With the price of postage increasing every other year–it seems–and technology advancing faster than you can say terabyte, it only makes sense to use all the electronic sources available to us to send information from point A to point B. But take just a second to remember the anticipation you once had when checking the mailbox. Thumbing through the glossy advertisements for more airline miles and restaurant coupons, you spot an envelope with a handwritten address and a stamp–a real stamp! You study it, admiring the foreign object like it’s arrived from the past via time machine. This moment of joy is also filled with anticipation to see what’s inside. Is it a letter from a dear friend? A hand-crafted invitation to a special celebration? Perhaps it’s a newspaper clipping from your mom…

 

 

The beauty of a great piece of mail is the experience. We notice its texture, its weight, the delicate handwriting, perhaps its smell, or the care that was taken to create it, and we take a moment [or two] to appreciate it. At Lilly & Louise, our main focus is creating that very experience. Think about it, for your guests, your invitation is the beginning of their experience of your wedding. It will leave an impression and give them a taste of what’s to come, not only logistically with the details, but stylistically as it’s a reflection of you and all the details of your upcoming day!

 

 

With all this talk about beautiful snail mail, we at Lilly & Louise also know that conserving natural resources like trees is very important, so we work with papers that have high post-consumer waste content and/or recycled content, and even tree-free 100% cotton papers. We also work with printers who use organic vegetable-based inks. And, if you ever order something from us, you’ll notice that the box in which you receive your product is most likely reused– even down to the packing material. We try our darnedest to reduce, reuse, and recycle while still delivering top notch, one-fo-a-kind designs.
