Freshly Minted : Storybook Save the Date

Posted on by

Today I’m sharing my first ever Save the Date design for Minted. For one reason or another I never managed to enter any of the Save the Date challenges in the 5+ years I’ve been submitting designs. I know, I’ve been missing out! Save the Dates are incredibly popular, and are a great way to show off (and justify) all of those beautiful engagement session photos.

Storybook-Save-the-Date-1

Storybook is a full bleed photo card with playful type, banners, and swashes to showcase your wedding date. The backer and liner feature a neutral kraft background with coordinating patterns.

I have three more non-photo Save the Dates launching in the near future, I’ll be back to share them just as soon as they’re live!

Storybook and the rest of my wedding stationery for Minted can be found in the Duncan Park Papers shop.

Goodmorning, hope you had a lovely 4th yesterday!

Today I’m introducing the second of my most recent designs for Minted’s wedding invitation line: Baby’s Breath.

Baby's Breath Wedding Invitation, Duncan Park Papers,

A little backstory on the inspiration…
In college I worked at a flower shop on campus, and I hated Baby’s Breath- I preferred other fillers, or nothing but greens with my flowers. More recently though, I developed a little crush on it- thanks to images like these:

Baby’s Breath (aka Gypsophila) on its own can be quite lovely, with its cloud-like fluffiness. I wanted this suite to capture that dreamy quality of Baby’s Breath, as well as its subtle nature. To see more beautiful images of Baby’s Breath in action, check out this Pinterest Board that I put together.

The Baby’s Breath invitation suite and the rest of my wedding invitations for Minted are available for purchase in my storefront.

My most recent wedding invitations for Minted were a lot of fun to work on. I really enjoyed focusing on the details in the coordinating pieces- to me, these thoughtful elements and unique touches are what make invitations memorable. Here is the first of my three new wedding suites, Country Classic:

My favorite parts of this suite are all of the slightly mismatched patterns. In designing the various pieces I wanted the overall look to be sweet and dainty, like the contents of a linen drawer in an old farmhouse.

Country Classic and the rest of my invitation suites can be found in my Minted shop. Check back later this week and early next week for posts on my other two new invitation designs!
