Design Elements: Build Your Own Crest

We can use our Build Your Own Crest library to create semi- custom wreaths, liner patterns and more. The possibilities are endless, and we can even incorporate additional watercolor elements from our design library. Below you can find examples of how we can translate an inspiration photo into crests and liner patterns. We’ve included both springtime and winter ideas.

Our inspiration photo comes from Ivy and Fig

Clover & Champagne New York City Save the Dates

We worked with our friends at Oliver’s Twist to bring Liz and Chi-Chi’s save the dates to life. Our Tribeca sample was the inspiration, updated with cheerful clover letterpress and champagne matte foil. A New York City map liner in clover is the perfect addition.

Rosebud and Rose Gold Invitations

Mariana at our NYC studio worked with Blair and Max to bring their invitations to life. A previous post, detailing a customization of Jorie with a floral frame and inset double border inspired the invitation layout. We used the ginko leaf pattern from our Mirabelle design to create a debossed frame on the invitation card. This motif was then repeated in letterpress on the reply card, and foil stamped on the liner. We love the repeating motifs in different print methods!

Deep Blue and Burgundy Literary Inspired Invitations

We had the pleasure of working with Audrey and Roshan on their beautiful book inspired wedding invitations. Both avid readers, and holding their wedding in the Strand’s Rare Book Room, they wanted an invite to match. We created a custom book invitation, using our Matilde sample. A bookmark shaped reply card finishes this perfect literary suite.
