Jane Goes to the Beach

Let's call this Jane Austen Goes to the Beach, Part: Too Many. Just a few more print-work things to do and this party's on! 

Invite at the printers now...

1st. There was a bit of Blog Styling

2nd. That whole confusion about what time period the inspiration was reeally coming from. Turns out, this wedding (in general) should feel like a Jane Austen Character ran through the 1800s and picked up some Victorian flair on her way to a weekend beach wedding in 2009. (We're talking a ceremony w/ quilt-covered hay-bale seating, marsh-sunsets and raffia fans)

3rd. The invite is finally finished and printing! Try convincing a broken-record of a employee at the printers that you're OK with NO RAISED FONT! NO TISSUE PAPER INSERTS! NO NO NO. Just Print it, front and back!

Also, the beautiful felt-finished paper should make anyone want to get married.

Party Like It's 1811

You'd think that interpreting Victorian scroll work for a wedding invitation and branding would be fun. Actually, I'd hope you wouldn't. Given that the event's theme is inspired by Jane Austen's work (printed and set in the early 18oo's) and the scroll work is from a much later Victorian edition, this could only be fun if I were prophetically jacking the above late edition illustration of Sense and Sensibility  to make the 1811 first edition cover. In that case I'm there, because clearly some reverse Ghost/Whoopi Goldberg stuff would be going on.   Continue
