emruth in color

I've been working on a pretty awesome invite that I decided I needed to play with in color.

It'll get to emruth.com at some point, but I'm still working on rvsp and receptions cards and I may never get there if I just keep designing more color palettes...

A Garden Wedding

Jon and Christine's wedding took place at the Garfield Park Conservatory, Chicago's semi secret botanical paradise. They were a really fun couple to work with, we had a lot of back forth with great suggestions from both sides. We collaborated on something that neither one of us would have come up with on our own, and ended up with beautiful invitations that everyone is super happy with!

Expect to see these flowers again. And the vines - in a different project.

Lauren & Bruce: Wedding Invitations

Lauren and Bruce, dear friends from college who are living in chicago and responsible for maintaining my sanity, were married on October 21st in the beautiful and sunny Boston, MA. They were kind enough to ask me to design their invitations and programs, and I'm so happy I could be part of making their day perfectly Lauren & Bruce!  The ceremony took place in a quintessential new england chapel, and the reception was at a cozy country club with a fantastic vintage vibe.


They're just so freaking cute, it was impossible to pick one picture. So I picked 2. (props to aguyandagirlphotography.com)

Now for the invitations. Although I didn't screen print these ones, they were just about as time consuming. But 100% worth it! We matched the feel of their wedding with a little art nouveau, some vintage lace and a a gorgeous off white butcher paper from the French Paper Company.

I love that you can see the texture of the paper in this shot, it really was lovely!

Congrats Lauren and Bruce! You're pretty great.

Claire & Gary.

My sister is getting married! And I was given the wonderful honor of designing the invitations. Being the overachiever that I am, I screen printed them all.  After a few registration issues, they turned out beautifully, and with the help of my dad, we printed them all in one saturday afternoon.

The wedding is next month, and it's going to beautiful! Congrats again, Claire and Gary!

Claire's Shower

My sister is getting married in september, and we just threw her a bridal shower! ...perfect opportunity for some serious craft time.   I made just about all the decorations from some vintage wedding wrapping paper ordered from etsy.
