Lighthouse Suite

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to share our pictures of the Lighthouse Suite that was featured in the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Travel Issue. We had a lot of fun creating this set as it was completely inspired by the location. A lot of times we focus on the couple and their story but this one was all about the lighthouse itself. This was completely hand lettered and illustrated to create an organic, nautical feel. What I find nice about this is that it’s very simple and we really let the lettering and colors tell the story vs. overloading the pieces with images, colors, etc. Sometimes clean is the way to go. Here we paired it with a red RSVP envelope for an added punch of color. If you’d like to see the suite as featured in Martha, go to your local magazine shop {I sound like a oldie because I actually don’t even know if those exist but let’s roll with it} and grab the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Travel Issue.

SCD in Martha Stewart Weddings

It’s a complete dream to be included in the Martha Stewart Weddings special travel issue! I’m a travel junkie and bride so this magazine was a pitch perfect read for me. Every issue of Martha Stewart Weddings is so meticulously edited and styled that I’m always left beyond impressed. To actually see our work on the pages though, that is pretty surreal. I think the checkout girl at Barnes & Noble thought I was a little creepy when I bought 5 issues and had this weird glazed over perma-smile thing going on… sorry about that.

Since this is the travel issue, one of the features focuses on unexpected places to wed. One of which was the Heceta Head Lighthouse in Oregon–it’s amazing and kind of my dream venue. The feature gives a few great tips about the area, shows some excellent goodies you could purchase in and around the area {Hey Stumpown!} Our lighthouse suite {pictures to follow on our blog next week} was shown as an idea for an invite suite. The suite is completely hand lettered with some cute supporting illustrations. It’s nautical without being over the top.

Thanks again to everyone at Martha Stewart weddings for including us in this issue- we are humbled to say the least.
