Floweret Letterpress Wedding Invitations

We love the combination of navy and papaya inks used for these letterpress wedding invitations, our Floweret design. The couple printed two different invitations, both a square shape, and mirrored the designs to create a unique look. They printed a beautiful reply postcard to match their invitations – a great way to save on both postage (a budget-friendly idea) and paper (an eco-friendly idea)!

String Calligraphy + Emile Letterpress Invitations

We simply adore this customization of our String Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation design, which features the hand calligraphy of Bella Figura calligrapher Patricia Mumau of Primele Studio. It was letterpress printed in black ink on our 2-ply cotton paper and features papaya edge painting. The backside of the invitations as well as the escort cards and favor cards all showcase our Emile design in blind deboss, while the letterpress thank you cards and envelopes all feature a custom designed, blind deboss tree motif, perfect for this South African safari wedding. To complete this beautiful custom design, the envelopes are lined in champagne and the favor cards were hole drilled and grommeted.

Joy Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Printed in aquamarine and papaya inks, we love this bright and cheerful customization of our Joy letterpress wedding invitation design from our 2010 collection.  The couple included a letterpress directions card, printed in 1-color letterpress in aquamarine, and a letterpress reception card detailing all of the information about the celebration following their wedding ceremony. From the bright color combination to the pretty pairing of fonts, we love everything about this invitation suite.

Dewdrop Letterpress Wedding Invitations in Tropical Colors

As promised, we have one more fun customization of our Dewdrop letterpress wedding invitation design to share this week. This unique customization, printed for a wedding in Hawaii, makes the most of bright tropical colors perfect for this wedding held on the island of Maui. The letterpress invitation itself features the same vibrant spring green and garden inks of the original design, but plays with pairing our Salzburg script font with the clean lines of a simple sans serif font. The letterpress reply card, printed in punchy shades of papaya and fuchsia, really plays up the tropical feel and sets the stage for a celebration in the Hawaiian islands. Using two different ink colors for the reply card is also a really fun and festive way to work four ink colors into a design and add a personal touch to your letterpress wedding invitations. Have we mentioned before how much we love Dewdrop? Because we really really love seeing how couples make this design their own and getting the opportunity to print so many cool variations.

Cool wedding invitation trend: monochrome colors!

Excuse us if we gush about the colors of this letterpress wedding invitation (in the Somersby invitation design) but — we are in love with these colors! The inks are perfect and stylish and sophsticated shades of pink: papaya & fuchsia that play off each other and interact in this lovely way. And check out the reply card – mainly papaya, but with a line of fuchsia (wow!). Monochrome colors will be a hot wedding trend for 2009, we’re predicting. You choose a color, then choose shades of those colors, and then everything looks perfect together. Monochrome colors offer a clean, eye-pleasing look, and make choosing flowers, decor, and even bridesmaid dresses easier (choose any shade of pink, for instance!). Monochrome letterpress wedding invitations are (trust us) also very, very pretty. Enjoy!
