As an avid blog reader, I have fallen in love with new blog Plenty of Colour. Featuring ideas and inspiration from around the globe, this blog showcases colorful hues in fashion, graphic design, photography and home decor. Or sometimes the inspiration is a study in black and white or pretty metallics. Either way, the photos are always awe-inspiring and I always feel motivated to repaint my house. Color is my favorite.

An especially elegant customization of our ever popular (and completely timeless) Deveril letterpress invitations, these elegant wedding invitations were printed in taupe and dusty pink and feature coordinating envelopes lined in dusty pink. Sweet calligraphy details along with hand calligraphy accents and a custom monogram from calligrapher Debi Zeinert make these letterpress invitations one of a kind.
Lovely letterpress in pool and charcoal inks, we love these Meadow letterpress invitations. Featuring edge painting and corner rounding, they are both modern and elegant. In addition to letterpress invitations, we also printed blank letterpress cards perfect for table numbers and signage.

Today’s favorite is shared by Bella Figura designer Jessica Tierney…
One of my favorite unique wedding ideas is the use of typography! Not only beautiful typography on your stationery, but also oversized, interesting type used as decorative elements throughout the celebration. I love weddings where couples incorporate large, graphic typography – especially cute sayings or phrases that have a personal meaning to the couple. It’s a wonderful, personal touch that not only looks visually stunning but is also a reflection of the bride and groom’s personalities sure to make a lasting impression on your guests!

New from our 2011 collection, Hoxton is modern and industrial when paired with a neutral color palette of charcoal, pewter, pale gray and taupe combined with pops of geranium for a chic and sophisticated urban wedding. (Photo credits – letterpress invitations + love + dress + couch.)
Printed in cool taupe and yarrow inks, we love this customization of our Harper letterpress invitations. Created for a super cool bar mitzvah, the set features Hebrew text and fun flat panel letterpress thank you notes.
