We’ve been on a wedding kick as of late and so when close friends of ours told us they were getting married we couldn’t resist letterpress printing their wedding invitation set. They wanted something that was simple and reminiscent of summer as they are getting married in Mexico this August.
The dandelion was printed in strawberry ink on the invite and reply card and in chocolate brown ink on the invitation envelope. Printing on the envelope is yet another way to make the invitation stand out among regular mail and has been a popular choice lately.
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.
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.
Grace and Arthur contacted us because they wanted a classic invitation to compliment their wedding, so we put together a simple yet elegant design. The invite features a monogram in chartreuse and text in gold ink letterpress printed on cotton paper, wrapped with a matching ribbon and mounted on stardream paper. The combination of textures on the invitation between the ribbon, the letterpress design, and the stardream paper give it a unique look and feel which we love.
The addresses on the invite and RSVP envelope were wax printed and the invite envelope was lined with a chartreuse swirl vine design which brought a little extra flair to the invitation set. The RSVP card was letterpress printed on the same cotton paper using gold ink which matched the shimmer of the stardream paper used on the invitation.
The last unique part of this invitation set are the custom pink pineapple wax seals with adhesive backs. They are a great way to bring extra flair to your wedding invitations. We are now offering custom wax seals in any size, PMS color, and design for invitations, announcements, stationery, or for whatever your want. We can even go as far as scenting them. More details on the wax seals will follow shortly. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
