Parcel Post for Brooklyn Bride [no. 03]

We recently got in a custom wedding order in at Urbanic from Smock that was a phenomenal packaging experience!

part 3. The stunning letterpressed invitations

Vendor reviews: invitations + calligraphy

Invitations: Jaime Viñas of Viñas Design
Jaime did our invitations as a favor to me since I work with his wife, and I love how they turned out! We worked together throwing around ideas, and ended up with a set that truly reflected Brooklyn, from Coney Island, to the cherry blossoms of Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Everything was very elegant, while staying very modern and crisp.

Calligraphy: Betsy Dunlap
Betsy’s calligraphy was the talk of the town once invites went out, and I was very pleased with how everything turned out! She did our outer envelopes in a custom green, which went perfectly with the ink used to print the invites. People told me they hung up the envelopes on their fridges along with the invitations, so that definitely says something! I asked her to also do our table numbers and some signage, which of course also turned out beautifully. She was a dream to work with!

May+Belle Calligraphy

I’ve seen Maybelle‘s work a lot in Martha Stewart Weddings and other wedding publications, and her work is phenomenal. Its definitely not that traditional flourished script that I seem to see a lot of (and can’t decipher for the life of me!), its more playful and whimsical….in her words, its “perfectly imperfect”, and thats what I love about it.
