newest wedding invitation design

We just had to share our latest wedding invite for Jessica and John. Their Save the Dates, encompassed a playful bird theme. They wanted to include the birds, but also incorporate the location of the wedding: the redwood forest in Northern California; and the cocktail party in San Francisco. So, to include the natural elements of the redwoods we created a tree illustration to surround the copy of the invite which was double mounted on a chartreuse thai tissue inside a chocolate brown pocket folder. We integrated the urban nature of the Friday night cocktail party with a Golden Gate Bridge drawing in blue, and uniting everything with the blue hummingbird sticker holding the pocket folder.

This was such a fun project to work on. Congratulations Jessica & john!

bluebirds - new wedding invitation design

The season is here, and we have another custom wedding creation to share. Incorporating the wedding color of cornflower blue, and the couple's love of birds, this square pocket invitation is made with a soft white smooth stock and a blue Thai tissue double mount inside. The outside was hand block printed with two love birds in blue, and the corresponding cards continue with the blue bird theme sitting in the interior pocket.

Congratulations Victoria and Christian!

wedding invitation... hot off the presses

Had to share our newest wedding invitation design for a local Brooklyn couple. We seem to have a bridge theme going here, first the brooklyn bridge, then the Williamsburg, the Manhattan and now the Queensboro!

The bride grew up on Roosevelt Island, and the wedding is taking place in Long Island City, so the 59th St bridge seemed like the logical choice. We set the bright white of the invitation on a cheerful orange pocket folder, with complimenting deep rich purple text and matching orange for the graphics.

Congratulations Jillian and Regan!

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Allyn Howard, a local Carroll Gardens artist, recently started a delightful new blog, sharing her daily findings on art, culture and neighborhood. She was kind enough to include us in a recent post on blipadee, where she's featured local Brooklyn faves like Le Petit Cafe and Cozbi, as well as covering neighborhood events such as our rainy day Court Street Fair. Being an artist herself, she's got a great eye for capturing interesting moments and gorgeous treasures in her own stomping ground, and her blog is brimming with colorful photos. Besides blogging, the very talented Allyn is also the creator of a series of paintings and characters, vibrant and playful, ideal for children's rooms. Some of her work can be seen on her website. Thanks Allyn!!

affordable art - local nyc artists

We understand - the economic situation has been tough on everyone. But let's face it, we still need something from time to time to cheer us up, give us hope, brighten our lives. Most of us probably think artwork is out of our budget at the moment, but there's no reason why it has to be. Our city is filled with incredibly talented artists who are making artwork that is affordable, even in these financial times.

At Serimony, we're dying to show off our new artists and great finds. We've filled the store with fabulous pieces for your house or office; artists like Kristiana Pärn and Kenny Kudulis, wonderful kritters and fantastical settings... most for under $50!

Kids' Craft Fair at the Brooklyn Lyceum

Last weekend we spent at the Brooklyn Lyceum for the ALL Kid's Craft Fair. By the looks of it, the little tykes had a great time, with a craft corner, kids' haircuts, live music, popcorn, shows, and tons of locally crafted merchandise for the ittie bitties on up to their parents. Here's some pictures of our booth, with Erin of Wallco Jr, and all of our t-shirts, bags, art, stuffed animals and more! We even had a little block printing demo for the kiddies to see how its done and try it out for themselves.

Hot off the Presses

Our latest custom wedding invitation features an image of the Brooklyn Bridge, on a double mounted square card in the couple's colors: kelly green and black. It's printed on a super smooth ultra white card, contrasted with the highly textured black layer of Thai tissue, and a super smooth kelly green layer at the bottom. The bride and groom are tying the knot in Brooklyn Heights, home to one of the best views of the bridge.

Congratulations Vanessa and Matthew!

Our newest wedding invitation design is this lovely "henna inspired" invite. The bride and groom wanted to incorporate some Mehndi artwork, including a peacock, which symbolizes love and fertility, so we came up with this design, a simple flat card, with the peacock design organically flowing through the text. The invitation was printed on a bright white eggshell card stock, with matching white envelopes. Congratulations Ramona and Patrick!
