Alexa + Scott Custom Suite

 

Alexa + Scott were so great to work with and they knew right off the bat, they wanted a rustic vintage style with lace and lovebird details. So we created a custom logo for them that incorporated the lovebirds and drew their reception site, the Avila Golf and Country Club. Everything was letterpressed in navy ink and to bring in a bit more of their color palette we used a blush colored paper for her accommodations card. Switching up paper colors is a great way to incorporate your color palette and give variety to your suite without the extra cost of a second ink color when letterpressing. We paired this suite with navy outer envelopes and a grey envelope liner and added a custom wrap label for the guest addresses. Congratulations Alexa & Scott, may you have a long and blessed marriage!

The suite was flat printed on a white linen paper stock and the invitation was layered with a blue silk paper. The invitation suite was paired with silver pearl envelopes. This suite will soon be featured on our design bar. Congratulations Haydee + Mark!

Kim+Matt Custom Suite

When we met with Kim and Matt to discuss their destination wedding in Charleston, South Carolina they talked about how much they loved the southern charm and all of the beautiful ironwork throughout the city, especially the iron gates. So we created paper iron gates for her invitation suite by laser cutting paper that would open up to reveal the invitation. We carried the Iron Gate design throughout the suite and even carried the swirling lines around the monogram. We letterpressed the suite using three ink colors, alternating two colors on the enclosure cards. Since the rehearsal dinner invitation was a low country boil, we hand drew a shrimp and tied the rest of the design in with the invitation suite.  We loved capturing the beauty of this sweet southern city on paper! Congratulations Kim + Matt!

La VIE Styled Shoot

We love when we get to work with some of our favorite vendors on a styled photo shoot! Confetti Events and Weddings and MMD Events came up with a brilliant design style for this shoot called Fall Glamour and told us they wanted lots of glitter, gold, copper and blush tones on the paper goods.

I wanted to keep the papers very simple with a modern edge to it. I knew the table-scape would have so many amazing details that we didn’t want the paper goods to compete with the design but compliment. We used a modern calligraphy handwritten font and paired it with lots of gold glitter accents. We added a paper layer around the menu cards with the gold glitter, we added dimension with a raised glitter star on the save the dates, and created custom gold glitter star drink stirrers that sat in each guests drink.

We love how the color palette of coppers, blush, dark green’s and gold’s paired with the branches and flower arrangements evoke the fall feeling, while the chevron pattern, sequins and glitter accents take it up a notch to glamorous. Makes you want to sip on a hot apple cider martini with a cinnamon stick. This collection will soon be featured on the design bar, check back soon.

This photo shoot was featured on Ruffled blog, check it out here.

French Garden Inspired Photo shoot

When Linda Marie Weddings came to us about a “Fete des Fleures” {feast of flowers} concept photo shoot at Hollis Gardens in Lakeland, Florida we were really excited, and then when she told us about the French Garden style we couldn’t refuse! Our design minds immediately started to race. Pat hand drew a bushel of roses and we incorporated that with small lace ornate edging and beautiful calligraphy throughout the entire suite. In addition to the invitation suite, we created menu cards, place cards, table number, favor tags for the macaroons, and chairs signs. How gorgeous is this floral cake! We adorned it with our petit paper sign. If you like the design, check back soon we will be adding it to the design bar!

Day of Stationery

Day of stationery is an important part of creating ambiance at your wedding. We watercolored hydrangeas and carried it through onto the programs/ menu cards + place cards. The programs also double as a collapsible fan, which is perfect for Florida sun + we love how they collapse to fit perfectly in a clutch or a trouser pocket. We printed all the paper goods on a pearl paper stock. We have also included our custom watercolored hydrangeas on the place cards.

They chose a one-color letterpress ink in khaki on 100% cotton ecru paper. This elegant simplicity is a great way to keep costs down.

Isabella Suite (Karina + VJ)

Karina + VJ chose the Isabelle suite from the design bar. Selecting from our design bar is a great way to keep things affordable. Karina + VJ chose to go with a two-color letterpress using eggplant and gold ink. To customize the suite further we also added three paper layers in eggplant, gold lokata, and bronze. We tied the suite together with a custom tag and silk eggplant ribbon, the tag directed their guests to their wedding website. We finished the suite by carrying the design onto the envelopes and addressing them. Congratulations Karina + VJ!

Aviator : Design Bar Suite

The Aviator is apart of our affordable letterpress collection on the design bar. This suite features a hand drawn plane. We love how Rebecca + Patrick customized it to make it their own.  One of own favorite customizations is the hand drawn letterpress map! The map features the locations of their ceremony and reception venues and the hotel where their guests stayed. The hand drawn plane is even included on the envelope! How fun is that?! This suite includes black and fig ink. A great suite to add a playful spin to your wedding.

Heather + Carson: Custom Letterpress Invitations

Heather + Carson’s invitation was designed with elegant customizations and a great budget friendly rsvp card. Their invitation included a mix of gold foil + letterpress and then letterpressed the rest of the invitation which included a chic blind impression deboss of scrolling lines across the top + bottom of the invitation. We love this delicate and classic touch. Then we backed the invitation with a black pearl and gold lokta paper. The rsvp card included a one color black letterpress, a great way to save on costs by keeping your enclosure cards to one color. Congrats Heather + Carsons!
