The Office Of Angela Scott

2011-09-09T09:54:00.000-04:00

Mary and I worked on this logo about a year ago and we just stumbled upon the finished product recently. Seeing the logo printed on the actual shoe is super fun!

Sara & David

2011-07-07T23:10:00.000-04:00

Sara and David met and fell in love in chemistry class back in their University of Michigan days. We thought this story was so charming and the perfect opportunity to play around with a little science meets pretty. Their RSVP postcard was our favorite piece to design because the couple gave us a list of items that was significant in telling their love story. The complete suite turned out to be sweet chemistry.

Hello, Nice To Meet You!

2011-07-06T20:19:00.005-04:00

These bright and fun business cards were created for a very dear friend of ours as a going away gift. An extremely talented writer on a journey West, we knew she needed something that would stand out! Yellow represented the sunny state she was heading to as well as her personality. With room on the back to share her thoughts, we felt these cards were a small way to leave a big impression. To see more of Caitlin's thoughts, check out her blog, The Importance of Being Urban.

Lauren & Alex Part ll

2011-07-05T22:01:00.013-04:00

After creating such a fun nautical save the date for the couple, they came back to us for some other lovely goodies. Small glass bottles were filled with a beautiful range of sea glass, the corks stamped with each table number and finished with turquoise and navy escort tags. Additionally, beautiful decorative signs were created by letterpressing into whitewashed veneer, and the table numbers were inspired from the save the date maps. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Carabelli, it was a pleasure! The top 3 featured photos are courtesy of Person + Killian Photography.

Stephanie and Ben

2011-04-26T09:18:00.003-04:00

Stephanie and Ben are set to marry this May in a small gathering at the beautiful Blue Hill at Stone Barns. The first time we met, they came to us with a bag filled with beautiful papers and postcards, personal photos and necklaces. Having that kind of inspiration was truly amazing and gave us a real sense of who they were as a couple. Their wedding definitely had a bohemian spirit to it that we knew right away we wanted to capture. All the elements are hand drawn, including the monogram hands which were sketched from a picture of the couple in India holding up peace signs, to the borders which were inspired by the flower garlands that will be a main decoration during their ceremony. By digging through the details and getting to know Steph and Ben, we were able to create a casual yet striking design that we truly believe represents them as a whole.

Special Feature

2011-04-11T13:31:00.005-04:00

Last week Ice Cream Social was featured on Martha Stewart Weddings: The Bride's Guide. We were so flattered they asked us to take part in a little interview and reveal a new wedding invitation we just finished designing. You can check it all out right here...

Silver, or should we say Orange Lining

2011-01-06T14:59:00.005-05:00

Photographer Sarah Silver came to us with a project that we all referred to as the "Big Book Project". The assignment was to completely revamp her branding by way of her portfolio. The challenge was to take her inspiring photography and create a place worthy of it all being showcased. The result was a subtle grey and neon orange color combo, acetate overlays with bold graphics and rubber accents. It was a year long labor of love, but the result is a cohesive branding system that sets Sarah apart yet doesn't take away from her beautiful product. To see more process and view additional images, a feature was published on PDN online.

Lauren and Alex

2010-12-20T12:42:00.002-05:00

Lauren and Alex are all set to wed this June in a beautiful resort overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Their special destination is located on Cape Cod, which is also a place they have shared many good times with family and friends over the years. Lauren and Alex came to us with a passion for preppy meets nautical and an interest in hand drawn maps. What better way to announce this New England style wedding then with a map save the date printed on canvas and wrapped up with a ribbon bellyband.

My Love, My Deer

2010-10-11T15:23:00.006-04:00

Katy and Giff were married on a family ranch in Sandpoint, Idaho on July 31st. The ranch style wedding inspired itself perfectly to a wood invitation. Their deer and flower logo, is a nod to their engagement story, and was letterpressed into a birch veneer and then backed with a ditsy floral fabric. It was accompanied by a letterpresses RSVP postcard and welcome drinks invitation. The logo and design aesthetic were carried throughout the wedding creating a beautifully sweet sensation! All of the below pictures were taken by Sean Watson Photo.

Hello Brooklyn

2010-10-10T19:30:00.008-04:00

Jason and Kim were married this past September at Stage 6 at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. Even though Brooklyn is just a hop skip away from Manhattan where they live, they felt as if it was their own special destination for their wedding day. Because of the location, they liked the idea of celebrating Brooklyn throughout their stationery in a vintage fashion. The lace inspiration came from the bride's dress and the leaf stamp on the wax seal represented central park where Jason proposed to Kim. The table number luminaries had a series of designs that rotated throughout such as a vintage map of brooklyn, the brooklyn bridge, and Jason and Kim's monogram. The whole look was carried out on the save the date, stationery, programs, table numbers, and candy favor bags. All of the below pictures were taken by Weddings by Chris Leary Photography.

Jason & Kim

2010-10-10T18:48:00.003-04:00

I also wanted to share Jason and Kim's amazing engagement photos taken in one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn...Dumbo. It always makes for a beautiful backdrop. These photos were taken by photographer Jason Kempin who will be launching his wedding site this fall. If you are interested in contacting him for your wedding you can get in touch at jkempin@gmail.com.

Jessie & Andy

2010-02-10T10:18:00.003-05:00

Jessie and Andy got married in a backyard Oktoberfest inspired wedding this past Fall. Their custom designs incorporated the brides passion for painting, their love for wild animals and of course beer! A letterpressed beer coaster was a great way to ask people to Save the Date. The invitation was silkscreened on a large piece of ripped painters canvas. The RSVP card & return envelope were off-set printed. The elements were packaged together with a hand died cluny lace belly band. The custom wedding logo was carried out through the wedding on tote bags and etched into beer and wine glasses. The overall feeling was playful beauty! All of the below pictures were taken by photographer Henry Chan excluding the save the date, invitation, and tote bag.

Last night Mary and I had way too much fun at the Martha Stewart Weddings 15th Anniversary Celebration. It was an amazing showcase of the magazines best of the best. We were especially obsessed with all the mini hors d’oeuvres...mini grilled cheese and mini fries- YUM! And Amy Atlas's candy and dessert bar was amazingly gorgeous of course. We were all over those cupcakes. Lets just say we left the event well fed. We topped off a fabulous evening at the photo booth with some of our favorite wedding friends!

When Sylva and Peter aren't doting over there beloved rescue dog Soju, they are spending their free time volunteering at shelters around the city. Their big love for animals was a fun and must-have element integrated into their custom design. The invitation set was letterpressed and packaged in a hand-made pouch with a ribbon closure that included a variety of 4 buttons. All together the mix of pattern, vintage touches, plus pretty white textures, created the perfect charming combination. A Day of Bliss Wedding Photography by Wolfgang Freithof Studio, no surprise he did a stunning job capturing the invitation perfectly. Especially love the kitty! Check out his gorgeous photos below.

Wendy & Billy

Like a little hidden treasure, you can find a water tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, a pigeon and couple of bikes woven into the intricate pattern carried through out the invitation pieces. Overall, it created a beautiful clean look with a lot more than meets the eye.

A Sweet Combination

2009-06-24T16:25:00.013-04:00

Charlotte, a native New Yorker and her fiance Justin, a Georgia boy, came to us to create their very special wedding invitations. After talking with the couple we decided what better to represent these two then the fruits of their home towns, the Apple and the Peach. The main logo was inspired from a vintage fruit wrapper, and the cloth pouches a nod to old jelly jar lids cover in fabric. The southern style seersucker is also the same fabric of the brides maid dresses. Overall, we think these beautiful invitations set the mood perfectly for an Upstate NY backyard summer wedding, while bringing in some southern charm!

Letterpress by the lovely ladies at Gilah Press
And lastly, above is how it all came be, with a lot of fabric, gocco-ing, sewing, trimming and most importantly a whole lot a love :)

One More Day...

2009-06-24T15:09:00.007-04:00

Until the lucky couples begin to walk down the aisle at the Martha Stewart Wedding Chapel. 303GRAND was transformed into an amazing wedding space decorated with paper lanterns and chandeliers made of beautiful bright colors and all inspired by the July Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. Ice Cream Social had the fun honor of designing the wedding invitation for all of the couples who participated. We had a special sneak peak of the issue, which set the tone and inspired our design. Then we integrated the look of the logo plus a little Brooklyn flair and voilé a wedding invitation was born! Featured below is the winning couple's invitation.

Ice Cream Social Hearts Pinball Publishing

2009-04-01T09:46:00.002-04:00

When Ice Cream Social first spotted Pinball Publishing we were in love. We were attracted to their use of recycled and eco-friendly materials. We could hardly wait for the opportunity to print a project with them. When we had our chance, it was everything we expected and more! The staff was super awesome, detailed, and the results were amazing. Jess, who has been beyond helpful with our projects invited us to do an interview for their blog Coinop. We were so flattered...take a look.

Wendy & Billy

2009-03-27T17:10:00.003-04:00

Billy and Wendy are engaged to get married this fall in NYC. With the ceremony set to happen on what will soon be the new Highline, and the reception to follow in the quaint west village, these two Brooklynites came to us in a NY state of mind. Working with the couple we decided that the pigeon was a quintessential representation of NY, and would be a great way to deliver their good news! With the bird on the city side, the illustration in the background gives props to the brooklyn borough they love so much.

Angelique & Ricardo

2009-03-27T17:06:00.001-04:00

Angelique contacted us last month looking to create a special mark for there August wedding. Their wedding was to take place in San Luis Obispo, California on a charming and rustic romantic olive ranch. These were important characteristics for us to reflect in their design. But, our favorite part of the logo is the owl, because it represents a special ring Ricardo once gave to Angelique. So sweet!

Jessie & Andy

2009-03-27T17:04:00.004-04:00

Jessie and Andy are engaged to be married this fall in a backyard Oktoberfest inspired wedding. We decided a beer coaster would be a great way to get the word out. The design was inspired by the couples love for animals, especially those found on an African Safari they went on a few years back, and of course beer!

Big Gifts Come in Small Precious Packages

2008-12-23T10:42:00.006-05:00

When the Brennan's asked us to design a very special holiday card for them, we were beyond excited. We loved the idea of making a holiday card feel like a gift by layering the 3 cards and tying them together with bakers twine. We then topped it off with a hangtag. The copy we created for the card really inspired the format. We then hand illustrated the complete design and type and screen printed in white and gold. It was all sent off in a kraft envelope.

Hello, Holidays!

2008-12-23T10:04:00.005-05:00

We have been missing in action, but we are back with a few new fun projects that will not disappoint. Enjoy!

London Calling: NYC

2008-10-28T18:08:00.022-04:00

Candace and Yadin live in London, were engaged in Paris and married in the Big Apple. Candace contacted us this summer to help her design some special items for her wedding in October. When we heard her story, we thought it was fate.

Candace and I (Jenn) realized we shared some of the same nuptial paths, it was kinda of uncanny. We both were proposed to at Pont Neuf in Paris, she was having her wedding at Studio 450 as did I and our color scheme was exactly the same, black and white with a pink accent. It was a perfect match.

We created a special logo for Candace and Yadin that was then applied to tote bags, letterpress prints, stickers, and thank you cards. Letterpress prints where done by our friends at Gilah Press.

Save the Date

It all started here with the save the date card. Mary had found really cool skeleton keys for the table cards, so we wanted to start it off with the key concept. We thought that creating a a key ring like concept would be perfect. Then Mary came up with this amazing copy, that was on each key... to my love, to kisses, to passion, to my match, to my heart, to it all. Check it out.

Book of Love

A lot of love went into Mary's wedding invitation. It was a dream project for the both of us. The invite was all very handmade with the exception of the letterpress cards. The letterpress was printed by gilah press + design. As you can see they did a beautiful job. The front and back cover was wrapped in book cloth and stamped with a Gocco Press. The inside pages of the book were created with kraft paper. It was all packaged up in a muslin cloth envelope that was then mailed in a kraft paper envelope. It really was a true representation of Mary and Dave. It also conveyed the feeling of an outdoor vintage styled wedding to come. We must give a big thanks too all of our friends and Mary's sisters who tirelessly helped us glue and sew into the wee hours of the evening. Now, that is true friendship...Cheers!
