I’m absolutely loving these wedding invitations from Cheree Berry. Her work features a bit of everything (all of it gorgeous), from wonderfully unique envelope liner designs to fantastic illustrations, color schemes, die cuts, and typographic elements.
Cheree Berry Paper opened in January 2006. Before opening her own studio, Cheree was an associate art director at Kate Spade and was in charge of designing the wedding stationery and personalized stationery lines that Kate Spade sells through Crane & Co.
Cheree also designs note cards and announcements and creates custom wedding invitations. Lovely stuff!

I’m loving these gorgeous, laser-cut cupcake wrappers from Paper Orchid. They add a unique interest to any special occasion. Heck, I’d love to buy some just to use when I make cupcakes or muffins.
Paper Orchid also makes special laser-cut favor boxes (below), as well as matching invitations, envelope seals, and note cards.

Jayda has many lovely wedding invitation and stationery designs. They also design cute birth announcement and baby shower invitations, as well as moving announcements. Their wedding collection features modern palettes, pretty patterns, bold flourishes, and stylized botanicals.
Jayda is committed to the environment and prints their invitations using soy and other vegetable based inks on 100% cotton paper made from recovered cotton materials from the textile industry. See more about their dedication to the environment here. Some of my faves from their wedding collection:

I continue to be astonished at the unique, beautifully designed invitations that I discover in my paper hunting adventures. Ceci New York is a studio that takes wedding and special event invitation design to the next level. From punk and glam to romantic to posh and sophisticated, their custom design repertoire is amazing. Pure eye candy:
In addition to creating custom invitations, Ceci New York also has several retail lines carried in shops in the U.S. and Canada.

I’m completely in love with the trend in veneer invitations and cards. The wood grain adds a completely new dimension to already beautiful designs. My latest find is Oslo Press, whose laser engraved wood and letterpress wedding (and other) invitations, make my heart go pitter pat. Get ready for some eye candy, with elegant, modern patterns and splashes of color:

There’s just something about peacock quills — the vivid colors, the magical graphic patterns found therein — that I find irresistible. Baron Cards has a lovely, whimsical representation of the beautiful quills in their Peacock Quills wedding stationery set. You can have the wispy, colorful quills on everything from your wedding and shower invitations to RSVP cards, programs, and thank you cards.
If you’re planning a “green” wedding, then Baron Cards will be right up your alley. They focus on eco-chic (love that term) wedding stationery and print their invitations on earth friendly papers, including 100% tree free paper made from 100% recovered cotton fibers. They’ve also designed their current collection to have only 2-5% ink coverage and use vegetable based inks to reduce the eco-impact of their print production.

I first discovered Rochester based Pistachio Press through their collaboration with INK + WIT on an awesome 2008 letterpress calendar. There’s plenty of eye candy to be found in their line, which includes letterpress stationery and wedding invitations (drool…see above). In addition, Pistachio Press offers custom design and printing.
Check out their portfolio, or shop online at Pistachio’s Etsy shop.
