    Retro Flower and Vine Letterpress Invitation
    June 9, 2008

    We have a special place in our heart for wedding invitations. These invitations, which we designed and printed, features a retro flower and vine design that is carried throughout the set.

    Letterpress Retro Flower and Vine Invitation - Whole Set

    The centerpiece of the set is the invitation which is a flat A7 card letterpress printed on 220# cotton paper in turquoise and brown ink. The chocolate brown invite envelope has the return address and vine design printed in turquoise ink. The insert which contains information on the wedding website and registry, highlights the retro flower design and unique typography.

    The vine design was originally photographed in this post on Impression Depth. Caroline really liked the vine design but also wanted flowers and a second color on the invitation and thus the retro flower and vine design was born. We really like how the vines and flowers intertwine and curve around the body text. The bride and groom’s names are accented in turquoise ink and the same unique typeface.

    We hope everyone enjoys these wedding invitations as much as we do! For more information on our custom letterpress printed wedding invitations, please feel free to contact us.

    3. Wow, awesome!

      By unique typeface, do you mean custom made? what typeface is that (script for the names), or what is it based on? It looks really good.

    4. I’d like a compliment card with an envelope lined or printed inside. Do you work with these models? Can you send me some sample pictures?
      Thank you,
