A Brooklyn backdrop, bold shapes, and metallic accents inspired this shoot photographed by Forever Photography. We were excited to spot our Carrara design among these elements of inspiration as well. A wedding invitation with geometric flair made with Brooklyn in mind. The skyline motif used on the belly-band as well as the vintage map envelope liner added touches of personalization. Finally, this styled shoot featured at BK Venues created an intimate yet bold setting for a contemporary Brooklyn affair.

Our designer Andrea Streeter reimagined her Wright design as a southwest inspired invitation. Coral letterpress typography, as well as a blush backdrop, kept a tonal color palette. Geometric shapes carried from the original Wright design also added to the retro feel. The horizontal orientation allowed for room for the designer to play with the line elements. Finally, a cactus motif used within the monogram gave the design that southwestern flair, perfect for any modern Nevada affair.

Paris and Nicholas worked with our flagship store in New York City to create these letterpress coaster save the dates. This multi-purposeful card printed in fog letterpress, as well as silver shine foil, remind guests to keep the 29th of September free. A clean serif font allowed for a more playful design along the perimeter of the design. Finally, the return address on the envelope printed in Fog kept consistent with the save the date inside.

These bold maple shine holiday cards are a contemporary way to spread holiday joy this season. More and more holiday cards have come through with a focus on clean, modern type and a sweet message to go along with it. To give the set a softer side, a vintage print envelope liner pattern paired with this design as well as a touch of a script font. We are excited to see what other Farnham customizations you might dream up next.

Our designer Leslie Johnston imagined these botanical letterpress wedding invitations in a vision of blues. Deep Prussian Blue and Serenity letterpress inks set the tone of this monochromatic design. Additionally, the floral illustration adds an organic touch to a more structured typography layout. The edges of the invitation painted in Lemon Drop add a pop of color to a more tone on tone design. Typically, invitation designs have an emphasis on symmetry, but Chicory changes it up with an asymmetrical layout. Lastly, we envision it for a wedding filled with arrangements made of floral bouquets as well as other rustic highlights.

The world got even brighter for William’s parents that February day he was born. Isabel and Austin used these deep blue letterpress baby announcements to share the news of their little light. Hand calligraphy written across the card gave the design a touch of personality thanks to Virginia Lucas Hart. A sketched motif of the world added playfulness to keep the design youthful yet still clean. The envelope liner coordinated with the announcement as well as a deep blue compass motif on the back of the envelope to keep the theme consistent. We couldn’t be more excited for Isabel and Austin! Finally, a big to the help of our friends at Magnificent Milestones for helping us spread the joy!

We can never get enough of timeless black letterpress wedding invitations of any kind. There’s something about that crisp, clean impression that never quite goes out of style. At first glance, the typography may look like hand calligraphy but guess again. Natura script covered the entire card to give the appearance of a traditionally styled invitation. The invitation edged in garden as well as the envelope liner gave the entire suite a pop of unexpected color. This suite wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our friends at If It’s Paper – Raleigh!

Our Holly paper from our new color paper line-up is the backdrop of the Delaney design. Usually, we see many golds as well as silver tones around this time of year. Delaney changes up the holiday norm with Copper Matte foil gleaming off the page. Additionally, we paired the design with a vintage print liner that mimics the organic botanical border. We can’t wait to see what whimsical Delaney customizations come through our shop this season!

We worked with Anna and Nathan to create their Charcoal and Bronze Shine save the dates for their wedding this past June. Inspired by our Rowan design, the front of the save the date remained clean in an all classic serif font. When guests flipped the save the date over, they’ll find a picture of the happy couple at the place they’ll say I do. They opted for a botanical print envelope liner to add a soft touch to the set as well as a pop of color. Finally, this sweet save the date couldn’t have come together without the help of our friends at Shindig Paperie!

Our friends at Lion in the Sun helped us to create these coastal letterpress wedding invitations for Kelli and Richard. Our Waterfront design reflected the aesthetic of their New Jersey venue perfectly. Deep Blue and Pool letterpress inks on the invitation set the cooler palette for the rest of the suite to follow. Additions of our Bella Light Gray on the envelopes as well as details card added a touch of softness to the suite as well. Finally, a vintage map envelope liner gave this set an extra touch of personalization.

Looking for an invitation as lovely as your wedding? Look no further! These light and sweet letterpress wedding invitations created by Katherine McCutcheon are sure to fit the bill. While we in Syracuse are about to take on the snowy, winter months, the Avon design reminds of us those fresh, bright summer days. The designer said, “A garden wedding with colorful floral arrangements are the perfect compliment to the watercolor details of this design. There is a large focus on grays, geometric shapes, and abstract imagery in modern design. While that all has its place, I don’t think a traditional watercolor will ever go out of style.”

The first glimpse of a wedding typically starts with the save the date. A card kept by guests for plenty of months, setting the tone for what’s ahead. For Olivia and Will, a grommeted save the date was their style of choice. This little booklet is a great choice for weddings that require a little more information right off the bat. If it’s to make sure guests are aware of accommodation bookings or if it’s destination wedding heads-up. A grommeted save the date is the solution! We send a huge thanks to JoEllen Bax of Slightly South for helping us make these save the dates come together!
