entry #9: our SHORELINE invitation inspiration

3.16.2012

The ‘Shoreline‘ wedding invitation suite from our new Umi 2 album is the perfect invitation for a beach chic affair. We were inspired by sun-washed French ticking textiles and the traditional Nantucket basket weave that pay homage to coastal New England living. We chose to letterpress print this design in a timeless combination of ‘Navy Blue’ and ‘Stone’ gray inks on crisp, white 100% cotton rag paper. The nautical sea life icons create a classic beachy feel, while the simplistic organic nature of the artwork gives this invitation a modern touch. Take a peek below at the inspiration behind this charming invitation suite, and come back again for more mood boards coming soon from our new Umi 2 album!
