Embroidered wedding invitation

Crikey! When Kate and Avi got married in Brooklyn last fall, Anna Bond created embroidered invitations. She sewed the design onto the paper, hand-painted the lettering, and finally scanned the art for printing. How beautiful is that? xo (Look at the teeny Brooklyn Bridge and the cute green parks!)

I seriously LOVE this. What a beautiful work of art. I can imagine the original being framed in their home to be passed down from generation to generation. I wish I could embroider.

I was very relieved to find out that she didn't have to hand embroider each invitation and that these are photocopies. Very cool!

Oh this just reminds me of my friend's wedding invite last year where she embroidered the branches on each and every invite and drew birds on each and every invite! Talk about pre-wedding stress! LOL

These are beautiful! How creative can people be! I bought some gorgeous embroidered wrapping paper once for a wedding present from Papyrus.

sean the prawn said...

really very lovely...sonice to see these traditional skills being given a modern edge.

Jeanne said...

Cute!

I embroidered my wedding invitations, also. I only needed about 15. I did counted cross-stitch, and did the wedding date in metallic threads. I mounted the "swatch" with the wedding date on the front of the invitation made with homemade paper I purchased from a neat local paper store. The paper was thick and chunky with metallic flecks and tidbits of rose petals, etc. The inside of the invitation had the wedding details - printed on another paper and mounted inside.

Oh, I sympathize. Omegle My husband and I were working for the same company Omegle Sohbet when I was pregnant, and I can't count how many times I hauled him out of his office out to the parking Omegle Chat lot so I could have a meltdown. (because of course I couldn't do it alone, I had to have a witness and then a hug after...)
I'd much rather have Omegle that than a huge diamond! So much classier. Graham Cluley, omegle a researcher at security firm Sophos, Görüntülü Chat told BBC News that Twitter needs "much tighter control" over what users can put in a tweet to prevent similar problems in the future.
