First to share is the rehearsal dinner invites. We used the vintage Hermitage Hotel illustration I'd originally scanned from an old letterhead. The card was letterpress printed on ultra thick stock to give it some heft. We then lined the envelopes with another vintage find, a Nashville map scan from an old travel booklet.<br />

We also illustrated this monogram "B", that is similar to the Hermitage Hotel logo, to use on napkins & menus. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/38618730@N07/20166166848/in/dateposted-public/" title="hermitage3"><img alt="hermitage3" height="334" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/299/20166166848_65095ca74d.jpg" width="500" /></a>

When we met with the bride she fell in love with white printing on kraft paper. Very fitting for the <a href="http://The wedding is at the Country Music Hall of Fame." target="_blank">Country Music Hall of Fame</a> venue they're using. We went to work illustrating the downtown skyline and coming up with some fun typography. This invitation included white foil stamping on French speckletone that was duplexed to be extra thick. The final touch was a watercolor cowboy boot we designed to tie around and some killer country western stamps. Had to give it some honky-tonk flair.<br />

We were able to carry the watercolor crest from the Save the Dates into the invitation folder. The woodgrain booklets were wrapped in velvet ribbon and secured with handmade feather tassels.

This invitation was all about "Mike." Athlete, card shark, golf lover, father of two, with a very good sense of humor. Black + white with gold foil all over. And the real show stopper was the incredible calligraphy mixed with vintage sports stamps. This was truly a fun one! <br />

Our client really wanted something special to celebrate her daughters recent wedding. The gatefold cards we're letterpressed on Cranes cotton stock & tied with a red ribbon for a punch of color. Our favorite part was the vintage style envelope liner with found winter imagery.<br />

The bride really wanted a one-of-a-kind crest so we incorporated imagery from the Colorado mountains where the wedding will be held. <br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/38618730@N07/15343209829" title="tomlin-01-suite by tennhens, on Flickr"><img alt="tomlin-01-suite" height="661" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3931/15343209829_66be501ac6_b.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I love the bright cheerfulness of the crest balanced with the rugged letterpress on the opposite side. The Save the Date card was letterpress printed on wood grain paper, die-cut, and feature a custom illustration of antlers & headdress, along with a wood grain envelope liner. The Native American illustrations give a nod to some of the family heritage & there will be cocktails in a tee-pee on the big day. Hopefully guests are packing their bags already!<br />

The dinner will be hosted on this gorgeous estate called <a href="http://www.elawafarm.org/" target="_blank">Elawa Farm</a>. We put our Tenn Hens spin on it with custom illustrations, highlighting some of the produce grown in the farms garden. The suite included letterpress, a duplexed backer, matching envelope liners, and calligraphy by Val Cole.<br />

We wanted to come up with something really meaningful and fun to get her friends exited. A teepee is a one of the images we're using in her wedding suite so we created a miniature version for the girls to set out on their desk or dresser.<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/38618730@N07/14804641817" title="bridesmaid-teepee3a by tennhens, on Flickr"><img alt="bridesmaid-teepee3a" height="768" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3878/14804641817_60d1e83bd5_o.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
The card folds in half with a blank space for the bride to write a special note. Then we tied them with twine and tucked in some feathers with a little example included on how to put together. A tiny bit of DIY and there you have your own teepee!<br />

Our concept took its inspiration from her family farm where she grew up, married, and where Oakes will be baptized this summer.<br />

The property is bounded by a beautiful river which brought to mind the natural world of trees, foliage, deer, canoes, and herons. The announcement is letter-pressed and duplexed with another card printed with all these images. Currier hand painted in watercolor a soft graphic pattern for the envelope liner. The photo was printed on metallic paper to add a crisp note to the overall color palette. And of course Oakes provided his adorable baby face.

This year Tenn Hens partnered with the festival to design all of their marketing materials for the festival. We created various items like web banners, ads, posters, and the program guide that's given to all attendees & sponsors. We were thrilled to work with their team and have already started on 2015s graphics. </span><br />

Before we get too far into the new year, check out a design we did this past winter. The goal was to create an
“outdoorsy, masculine, & preppy design” for a rehearsal dinner. The
only other requirement was to include an antique monogram the couple had
chosen of their initials. Instead of creating the illustrations
ourselves, like we normally do, we found these beautiful deer
images and a botanical background.<br />

It all really came together once we
lined the envelopes, duplexed the backs with faux-bois paper, and tied
up each package with ribbon & twine. Event planner, <b>Elizabeth James</b>
had the brilliant idea of using a collection of vintage stamps for
postage which was the<i><b> </b></i>pièce de résistance!

The convention center spreads three blocks and has this ultra cool, modern, music vibe. Here's one of our latest designs from this new gem. <br />
<br />
Bride Brooke came to us after seeing our <a href="http://tennhens.blogspot.com/2012/12/hermitage-hotel-rehearsal-dinner.html" target="_blank">Hermitage Hotel invitation</a> from a few years ago. Her fiance's father was involved in the new convention space so they were hosting the rehearsal dinner there. We illustrated the new space, the Country Music Hall of Fame across the street, and the Union Station Hotel where guests were staying. All very Nashville, down to the Johnny Cash stamps.<br />

Now here we are, already well into 2014, and Tenn Hens is off to an exciting start. Bonnie welcomed baby Oakes in November and then moved with her family back to Nashville for good - hooray!! Currier has been manning the shop the last few months, wrapping up big projects for the year. She finished out the 2013 Americana Music Awards collateral, designed a holiday card for a music-celeb, worked with new client, The 30A Songwriters Festival for their January event, and basically just kept the wheels turning round here. Thank goodness for business partners! <br />
<br />
Thank you for visiting our humble little blog & we sure hope you stay tuned in for more to come in 2014!<br />

Had ourselves a big old time last Friday lunching & bowling over at Pinewood Social. The place is so cool and no detail is overlooked. From the light fixtures, to the napkins, to the "can-art-installation" by <a href="http://www.isleofprinting.com/index.html" target="_blank">Bryce Mcloud</a> in the bowling alley - it all flows and jives together perfectly. <br />

Currier drew this great polo player & flag illustration and it didn't up jiving with the bride for her wedding, but she loved it for a party hosted in their honor. We were just happy this little guy got to go somewhere! The type was letterpressed and the vibrant watercolor printed 4-color. The shindig was on a beautiful farm in Franklin and the groom is a professional polo player so there was even a match before the big dinner. <br />

I think the best part is the detail on the envelope. Gives it a little somethin' special before the big reveal inside. <br />

Tenn Hens just wrapped up a beautiful wedding that was held on a
family farm. In fact this was daughter #2. We designed their eldest
daughters <a href="http://tennhens.blogspot.com/2011/06/stitched-together.html" target="_blank">"stitched-invite"</a> suite a few years ago. The farm is in Franklin, TN and the setting is beyond picturesque. <br />
<br />
We
worked from start to finish on every detail of this big day with bride
Margaret. She really wanted to use some different printing techniques so
we blind-letterpressed a pattern and used an amber gold foil for the
text. What was so fun was working with her from the start of the <a href="http://tennhens.blogspot.com/2013/04/watercolor-wedding-invitation.html" target="_blank">save the dates</a>,
to wedding sutie, to the "day of" paper goods like: matches, koozies,
napkins, photo-booth signage, menus, hotel booklets, and welcome
packages.<br />

It was truly a pleasure working with event planner, <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/article/homeplace-country-retreat" target="_blank">Libby Page</a>. She certainly made the process fun! And bride Margaret was a delight as well. She had great ideas to get us started and then let us fly away with production from there. <br />

Along side event planner Elizabeth James we came up with a beeea-utiful letterpress invitation! The brick red letterpress on great cotton stock really popped. And we created a custom envelope with an old pattern printed on the inside & topped 'em off with calligraphy from the fabulous Val Cole. The weather vane stamps we'd been hoarding ever since the Post Office ran them earlier in the year turned out to be the perfect fit for this job. Now bring on the pumpkins and sweaters, because we're ready for Fall temps!<br />

<br />
<i>some snippets from The Americana Music Honors & Awards show last evening… from <a href="http://americanamusic.org/" target="_blank">AMA</a></i><br />
<b><br />Americana's Honors & Awards reflected the breadth of the genre's musical reach tonight during a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium. </b><br />
<br />
While performances by legends including Stephen Stills and Richard Thompson, and upstarts such as John Fullbright and <b>The Milk Carton Kids</b>, were mesmerizing, it was two of the genre's most prolific and vocal forebears that owned the evening, as <b>Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell</b> took home Duo of the Year, Album of the Year for "Old Yellow Moon," and then anchored an all-star finale performance of the Crowell co-penned 1978 Harris hit "Leaving Louisiana in Broad Daylight."<br />
<br />
Close behind Harris and Crowell was another duo deeply dedicated to roots music--Charleston, South Carolina's<b> Shovels & Rope</b>--who received the Emerging Artist of the Year honor plus the Song of the Year trophy for "Birmingham" from its 2012 "O' Be Joyful" album. Nicki Bluhm and <b>Sam Bush </b>awarded Song of the Year; John Stirratt and Pat Sansone of <b>Wilco</b> and The Autumn Defense announced Emerging Artist. <br />
<br />
<i>"We might very well not be here, as a genre and as an association, were it not for Emmy and Rodney," said Jed Hilly, Executive Director of the Americana Music Association. "That we are celebrating them tonight not for the work they did 35 years ago, but for the work they did this year, on the same show that we're awarding another duo that is only on its first album, speaks volumes about where we're headed. What an amazing night." </i><br />
<br />
Americana's commitment to its roots was apparent from the show's downbeat, when an unannounced <b>Delbert McClinton </b>joined the <b>Buddy Miller</b>-led Americana Honors & Awards house band on the Hank Williams' classic "Hey Good Lookin'." The thread carried through when historian and filmmaker <b>Ken Burns</b>, currently at work on a multi-part documentary on country music, began the night by announcing the President's Award to Hank Williams. Presenting the award to <b>Holly Williams</b>, Hank's granddaughter, Burns spoke of Williams' "songs of heartache and loss, abiding humor and deep faith ... that come from deep within America."<br />
<br />
From there the night became a crash course in why Americana, as a genre, has had one of its strongest years. Between award presentations, Fullbright performed "Jericho," from 2012's "From the Ground Up"; Hunter, after being awarded a lifetime achievement award from show host and frequent co-writer Jim Lauderdale, performed "Ripple," his first public performance in a decade. <br />
<br />

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer <b>Dr. John</b>--a purveyor of American roots music forms that have included the blues, jazz, zydeco, and rock and roll for over 50 years--picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award from <b>Dan Auerbach</b> (the producer of Dr. John's "Locked Down" album and a member of The Black Keys) before taking to the piano to perform a blistering version of "I Walk on Gilded Splinters." <br />
<br />
In a nod to the youthful appeal of Americana and the ABC hit show "Nashville," Lennon and Maisy Stella, who play the daughters of Connie Britton's character Rayna James on the show, joined the house band for The Lumineers' ubiquitous hit "Ho Hey." Charles Esten, who plays Deacon Claybourne, introduced them. <br />

Don't you just want to squeeze him?! Nicole fell in love with the "over the moon" concept so we created a hand drawn illustration and typography to fit the theme. An announcement is all about the baby picture, but it's fun to incorporate a unique design in the mix as well. The cards were letterpressed a deep grey and design kept minimal to let this bambino shine.

The photo was tucked in a glassine envelope and printed on this gorgeous metallic photo paper. These pictures don't begin to do it justice, but in person the effect is unreal. The Johnny Cash stamps Nicole choose to mimic baby John's similar cow lick are the perfect final touch. Welcome to the world John Henry! <br />
