- Incredible picture from Gothamist.com. Crazy storms hit Brooklyn (and here in Columbus) on Thursday. I personally love storms so this photo isn’t too depressing for me. If it is for you….I apologize! Just be glad it’s not like this today.

- I agree with Caroline. I could live in this sweater.

- The Brick House is one of my favorites for home inspiration. I love this post about refreshing vintage wood.

- This back-to-school wish list is adorable. Sometimes I actually miss homework. Weird?

- These prints are amazing. Typography and truth. Nothing better.

- Stamps of disapproval. I’m all for motivation and encouragement but these are pretty great.

- Grey, letterpress, and pretty stamps. All of my favorites.

- These swimsuits are killer! Gorgeous.

LOVE these wedding invitations. I can’t wait until I can design my next set. Until then, I will admire these.

Some of my recent design work in its natural setting….a wedding! I loved working with Sarah while she was planning her day and the wedding looked gorgeous. Enjoy!

I know I say this every time I design wedding invitations but this set is really one of my favorites. The couple, who will be married this summer on Lake Geneva, decided they wanted to communicate to their guests the importance of the lake. They achieved this by adding hand drawn sketches of the Riviera building and the boat that their cocktail hour will be held. I’m excited to photograph these professionally and add the other design elements that I contributed later this summer. Check back to see their creative and beautiful escort card idea!

I’m not a banker but I have to say…I was overly excited when I logged into my online Huntington account and saw their new site design (pictured above)! As a designer, it wasn’t fun signing into their old site everyday. I thought I would include a screenshot of what their site USED to look like (pictured below) just so you can see the difference. Exciting, right? Just agree with me.

I had a wonderful time with family and friends this weekend at our friends’ wedding. Below are a handful of links to start off your work week!

- I’m planning on making this for dinner soon.

- Love this design. Peace Corps at 50 identity.

- These wedding invites are great. I’ve drawn an illustration the bride and groom before and it’s nerve racking!

- My upcoming freelance work will be influenced by this site and this site. Two very different projects!

I thought I’d post some recent work that is nearing the final stage. I post a lot of rough drafts and comps on my Facebook page but sometimes forget to post it here. I try to keep a balance between my blog and my Facebook page. I like to post similar content in case I have a different audience but also keep it different for variety.

Wedding invitation, RSVP card, and informational card for Miranda and Juan’s big day! This invitation set was incredibly fun to create because I was able to meet with the bride in person here in Columbus and really get a sense of her vision: vintage and elegant. This is my last post of wedding invitations for awhile. If you like what you see, please feel free to contact me directly for custom made invites or visit my Etsy shop for pre-made, yet still beautiful, wedding invitations for a discounted price.

Wedding invitation and information card design for Amanda and Dauthan! The couple were wonderful to work with and I absolutely adore their coral and charcoal color scheme with that lovely accent of blue! Tomorrow will be the last wedding invitation set for awhile. If you’re a bride or groom looking for custom wedding invitations- send me an email [salutations@allisonlehman.com] and we can chat!

Wedding invitation and RSVP postcard [front and back] designed for Molly and Joel. The couple wanted their invitations to show their fun personality while incorporating their pink and green color scheme! Tomorrow I’ll be featuring another invitation set with paisley…done right.
