Melissa is one of those brides who has a very clear and beautifully conceptualized idea of the style of her wedding, which translated really well to her invitations.  Melissa spent many of her summers in the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina, enjoying the beach and both she and her hubby-to-be wanted to tie this into their wedding, which is particularly appropriate given that they decided to return to OBX for their wedding!

Melissa knew that for the invitations her love for OBX would translate in several ways: a classic nautical blue and yellow color scheme, a blind debossed (pressed without ink) sea oat design on the invitation and casual, calligraphic script with a twist.  We ended up printing her suite in our navy ink with the blind sea oat design pressed into the corner of the invite.  We tied in the yellow using cheery colored envelopes and Melissa took it even one step further and selected navy and white envelope liners to complete the look.  For fonts we used Mrs. Eaves for the roman text and Sudestada for the script, modifying the ends to bleed off the page and achieve that casual calligraphic style.

I love how the entire suite turned out and how wonderfully summery and easy it feels.  All the pieces speak directly to Melissa’s style and clear vision for her wedding.  Thank you Melissa and Bill for letting us be a part of your day!  Congrats!
