Being Mrs Mo {Stationery}

maybe it was a good thing i didn't have much time to plan for my wedding. given four months and only knowing what i didn't want at my wedding, i became ms efficient when it came to decision making! from outfits to reception decor and everything in between. time constraints fortunately did not steal away the thrills of wedding planning in fact it conveniently shortened the pains of indecision and contemplation. but i do warn, the cost of short-term wedding prep is COST itself. the downside is that when you want to alter/add/subtract the choice(s) made, you must PAY :(

anyhow being a stationery junkie my initial excitement centered around wedding stationery duh! as much as i would have loved to design a whole suite, i decided quality over quantity and thought i'd just invest a lot on two things i.e. envelope and printing.

going for the gilt-touch and emphasis on texture i designed plain off white envelopes with a clean gold border on the flaps and lined it with pebble-embossed decorative paper. the invite itself was letter-pressed and with that allowing beautiful typography to take centre stage :)

my printer noticed a trend among stationery designers pointing out that "we had the plainest wedding invites!" - but rightly so. because we browse through a myriad of patterns and prints for clients all the time and the fact that not everyone can appreciate the simple beauty of letters we end up 'selling' this concept to ourselves!
