Paper Lovely Lacy Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Thanks to Kim from Omaha, Nebraska based letterpress studio, Paper Lovely, for letting me know about this lovely and lacy letterpress wedding invitation suite that she recently finished for Jacque & Kevin. The bride wanted a very elegant, Victorian-like feel to her wedding, and the combination of the lace motif and the mauve-y pink ink set the tone wonderfully.

The invitation and rsvp postcard were both letterpress printed, and the menus and programs were thermographically printed, and my favorite detail from the suite has to be the letterpressed “new address” card that’s attached to the program. The bride wanted the guests to be able to remove the card and take it with them, so they wouldn’t have to lug the entire program around. Very smart!

I know that I just featured Bespoke Press’ letterpress wedding invitation work earlier this month, but I would be remiss if I didn’t share their newest print. Start drooling now, typophiles, because this letterpress ampersand print is a stunner. And the texture within the ampersand? Absolutely fantastic.

Bespoke ships within Australia, where they’re based, and internationally, so grab one of these prints while you can because it’s a limited edition of just 50!

Tutta Lou Letterpress

Well, hello there, navy and magenta! I’m loving these Modern Floral letterpress cards from Seattle area letterpress shop, Tutta Lou Press. The cards feature an intricate, Hindi inspired floral print that has been pressed onto both the note cards and fantastic magenta envelopes, which are tucked into a muslin bag that echos the floral motif.

Tutta Lou has plenty of other super cool paper goodies, including BBQ invitations that would be great for summer shindigs, modern patterned cards, an oh so pretty, blind debossed heart and key card, and peacock labels that all of you peacock lovers must see.

New Letterpress Wedding Invitations by Gilah Press

June 17, 2010 // kristen // 0 replies

I was completely aswoon over the new letterpress invitations in the Gilah Press Wedding Album at the National Stationery Show last month (above are the two designs that I mentioned during my NSS roundups), and I’m jazzed to be able to show you more from the new collection. From stitched embellishments and gorgeous modern pattern and type to beautiful palettes featuring colors with names like avocado, butter, silk, carrot, sangria, bubble, and flax, the new Gilah invites are a feast for the eyes!

In addition, all of the main papers used in the invitations are tree-free and either 100% cotton or a cotton bamboo mix. The colored papers and envelopes are 30-100% post consumer waste. The new collection will be available later this month at the following shops:

Gus & Ruby: Portsmouth, NH
Epitome Papers: Edina, MN
Urbanic Paper Boutique: Venice, CA
Lion in the Sun: Brooklyn, NY
The Pleasure of Your Company: Baltimore, MD
Printemps: Westport, CT
Smudge Designs: Toronto, ON
