Away We Go!

I stumbled upon this beautiful letterpressed invitation set designed and illustrated by the bride and groom team, Jessie Turner and Tyler Thiessen, and letterpressed by Studio On Fire and....WOW, was I blown away! When I first saw this, I thought that it looked like it would have been more of a screenprinted design but when I found out that it was letterpressed, I have to admit that I was even more impressed! The illustration is beautiful and is balanced out well with the typographic details of the invitation. I actually really love the idea of showcasing their names with their parents in the way that they did- as if an introduction to their guests..."Ladies & Gentlemen: May we present...." It really ties into their fun theme- I LOVE IT!

I also really love Jessie & Tyler's wedding website. Everything flows so well. I love the photography of the couple- it shows such a fun and loving spirit between the two. I don't even know the couple but I'm in love! All of the pages of their site flows well from one page to the next, keeping a light and fun feeling throughout. It's obvious that this day is an important one to them but they also make it apparent that they want their guests to enjoy themselves on one of the most monumental days of their lives....a day to remember for all. I can't wait to see more about this wedding. This couple inspires me! Thank you, Jessie & Tyler for making the sun shine a little brighter for me today! WOW! :)
