Travel Inspired Italy Letterpress Wedding Invitations 550x552


There is something special about receiving a custom made wedding invitation, not only does it set the tone for what is to come but it shows every detail is important! 

These vintage inspired wedding invitations from Melinda at  Lion in the Sun are so beautiful and capture the romance of hosting a wedding in Italy.

Travel Inspired Italy Letterpress Wedding Invitations Suite 550x303

From Melinda: We created this invitation suite for Carrie who had a vision of classic vintage images and weathered maps for their wedding in a remote small village in Italy; the invitation design is romantic and playful, complete with a quote from the most romantic traveler: Hemingway.  David is an avid traveler to remote places and wanted to share his favorite Italian village with his friends and family for his wedding.

The reply card design was inspired by an old fashioned luggage tag and gave the unique option of “maybe”…. Not something we had ever done before but we wanted to make sure every one was welcome even if it was a last minute decision.  The liner was a replica of an old map of the region with the play ful trea sure map mark ing the spot….  The muted colours further inspired the vintage, weathered travel feel.
