It was love at first sight when I spotted these gorgeous black and gold letterpress wedding invitations by Artcadia. My goodness, they’re beautiful; they vintage-style pattern work and acrobat illustrations are such a unique touch!

Vici-Jane from Artcadia shares:

Six months ago, Amy and Mike contacted us to commission a design for acrobat-themed save the date cards, in ticket style. We’ve continued this fun theme throughout their two colour letterpress invitation suite. Gold and black ink was used, which gives the suite a very luxurious feel. We’re really delighted with how the suite looks, and it’s perfect for their New Zealand wedding, where they’ll be having an acrobat to entertain their guests.

Artcadia is a UK-based digital and letterpress design studio located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and they work with clients countrywide and internationally.

Weekly Wrap #93 : Grafika

November 04, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

Whoa! The ultra bold, geometric gift wrap patterns in 1973’s Grafika Wrap collection are attention grabbing, and that’s an understatement. The brightly colored gift wrap is available in eight different designs and printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper, and any gift wrapped in these designs is sure to stand out, to say the least. I’m imagining these papers paired with wide satin ribbon in coordinating colors. Wouldn’t that be an electrifying combo?
