Wedding Invitations: Beantown Chic

Anyone who's ever been to Boston will tell you how much they like them apples. What a great city. Apparently with some fantastic weddings going on this fall, including the one of our former student-turned-client-slash-paper-buddy, Lauren and her fiance Brian.

When Lauren first came to us for her wedding paperyums, all she knew was that she wanted it to look modern and yet classically Boston. Well, let's back it up a bit. Originally, she threw out some wacky-bananas randomness about animals and Olympic themes just like the one from her Bat Mitzvah. We took a deep breath, held hands, thought about our mothers' feelings and decided to make a new plan for a modern, clean look with a fresh take on all of Lauren's favorite parts of her beloved hometown.

You may remember her save-the-dates we flashed a quickie look at a little while back, which featured famed landmark Fanueil Hall. 

Well, here's a look at the latest in Lauren and Brian's wedding suite (and the most important), the invitations!:

The suite assembled: An understated invitation makes a big statement. Elegant type treatment with just the boston skyline letterpressed on chic, steely gray paper.

A custom monogram for the Northeasterner

The bellyband slides off to reveal a pocketfold behind the invitation, printed with a custom cobblestone pattern for a classic Bostonian feel. The reply card and a website info card featuring the wine and burnt orange color accents live here.

A very cool mix of patterns, textures and colors, perfect for an urban Fall affair.

Boston, the curse is over. Your win-vitations have arrived.

cheers!
