Eco Friendly Paper : Baron Cards Peacock Quills Wedding Invitations

Baron Cards Peacock Quills Wedding Invitations

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.

In addition, Pistachio Press offers custom design and printing.

Check out their portfolio, or shop online at Pistachio’s Etsy shop.
