Vignette Letterpress Wedding Invitations

This letterpress wedding invitation is our Vignette design printed in garden and pewter inks for an upcoming wedding in Hawaii. We love the color palette and swirly floral and leaf motif for an oceanfront wedding, and it should be noted that we’d really love to be in Hawaii today. With windchill, it’s about -10 degrees in Syracuse right now so a trip someplace warm sounds just right!

Tuileries Letterpress Wedding Invitations

This pretty jewel-toned customization of our Tuileries letterpress invitation design is printed in aubergine and lavender inks and is paired with an envelope featuring an amethyst lining. Purple is continuing its reign as an incredibly popular color for weddings in 2010 so we love the pairing of various shades of purple in this customization.

Soleil Letterpress Wedding Invitations

This letterpress wedding invitation set is a customization of our Soleil design printed in sea mist and espresso inks and paired with a metallic bronze envelope liner. We’re in love with this pairing of colors and also love how the Soleil design looks when customized for our A7 paper size instead of the square of the sample design. It’s both perfectly elegant and playfully modern, a combination we adore.

Custom Letterpress Invitations for Nestlé

We created these custom letterpress invitations for an event hosted by Nestlé last spring. They are a custom design derived from our Walden design, printed in antique gold and espresso inks with rounded corners and elegant metallic gold edge painting. Nestlé had these invitations printed for a celebration in honor of their first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold Certification, which is a certification bestowed upon buildings which meet or surpass rigorous standards for energy efficient and environmentally sustainable design in the architecture community. Bravo, Nestlé! We love working with businesses striving to do good things for the world.

This pretty letterpress wedding invitation is our Flourish design printed in persimmon and atlantic inks. It’s also printed on our A7 size card in a horizontal orientation instead of the square shape of the sample design.
