From Inspiration to Reality: The Design, IV

December 15th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 8 comments

Being a bit of a stationery snob, I was kind of over the moon to see the stationery pieces that were included in today’s shoot. Designed by Sara Fitzgerald O’Brien of Griffin-vites Stationery they were actually one of the elements that I loved the most…and in a room this gorgeous, that says a lot. Who knew that roosters could be so freaking chic. Sara is an absolutely awesome designer who clearly took the inspiration and ran with it! Love, love, love.

From Meagan, the designer behind the shoot…Sara of Griffin-vites Stationery created all of the custom stationery elements, incorporating her original watercolor artwork onto high-quality textured papers. The invitation suite was accented with an illustrated hand-lined envelope and rustic twine & feather embellishment.

The vow booklets for bride and groom each featured half of a nest illustration, that when held together formed one complete nest and were bound with rustic twine tassels. The unique vow booklets are one of Sara’s signature custom items, offering the newlywed couple a keepsake of their words exchanged during the wedding ceremony. Thin place card paper ‘ribbons’ featured the tiniest of rooster illustrations, also found on the table numbers and menu cards. The paper ribbons with hand-notched ends, displayed guests’ names, printed in pale blue and were tucked perfectly into the miniature nest favors at each place setting.

    This stationery suite is beautiful!! The attention to detail is amazing, lining the envelopes to look like chicken wire! So unique! It's the little details that really tie an event together and if guests received these invites in the mail they would know instantly that they were in for a rustic but elegant wedding that was going to be filled with thoughtful details!
