Moodboard 15: Winter Wonder

Carla — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:41:39 +0000

We are currently in the heart of winter and desperately trying to keep warm in this cold and wet weather and we have decided that with this mood board we want to heat things up a bit… with beautiful, warm colour tones! You might not need a reminder of how cold it is outside, but we hope the beauty of this winter-inspired wedding mood board will warm you right up.

If you fancy yourself and your fiancé a bit of a daring couple, why not consider a beautiful winter wedding? We have just the invitations to set a warm tone for your elegant celebration. We would suggest the use of warm colour tones such as gold and blush pink combined with brilliant white. This colour scheme was used in this little artwork consisting of a stunning intricate laser cut gate folder pocket, a white insert card that has all text stamp foiled in gold and then placed into a white envelope with a stunning gold glitter paper liner to round things off!

We absolutely adore this invitation! We hope you enjoy looking at this invitation as much as we did creating it. Click on any of the photos to view this item on our online store!

Contemporary Sparkle

Carla — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:16:47 +0000

When it comes to wedding invites, people really struggle to find the perfect balance. There might be too much detail on the invite, or an overload of colour, while others seem just a little too lost without any colour or fine finish at all. What we do as designers is to always try and implement the perfect balance and harmony in whatever we design.

For me, this invite portrays the modern elegance of weddings today and the design associated with them. The small touches of the script typeface bring in the detailed, romantic touch of wedding invites, while the contrasting sans serif typeface echo’s the essence of contemporary typesetting. The invite forms part of a set: A wedding invite and a secondary information card, all held together by a bellyband with the couple’s monogram stamp-foiled on it. The foiling brings just the right amount of sparkle to the invite and is the element that ties all the aspects of the invite together.

What makes this invite so alluring, is the freedom of style that it speaks of. It is available in a wide variety of different colours, papers, and foils, as well as different finishes such as foiling or letter pressing, to suit every element of your special day.

Matryoshka Shoot

Carla — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:37:41 +0000

The amazingly talented Kusjka du Plessis Photography recently approached us to ask if we could create stationery items for one of her photoshoots. The moodboard of the shoot was based around the idea of Matryoshka dolls (Russian Nesting dolls), taking inspiration from the rich tones, floral details and uniqueness of the dolls themselves. Needless to say we leapt at the chance to design one-of-a-kind pieces for this theme. We love a creative challenge, and this one was so unique!

We created a deep blue lasercut lace folder invitation with an embossed and gold foiled inner card. The envelope was in marsala red with a popping floral liner. The lace and floral detail was inspired by the elegant painting that you find on the traditional dolls, which we brought through to the menus. The results are absolutely stunning – you can check out the rest of the photoshoot on Burnett’s Boards here.

You can find the Matryoshka stationery range ready to purchase on our online store here.
