Letterpress Wedding Invitations with Purple Edge Paint

Is it just me or is 2013 flying by fast?  Amazing how fast time flies by.  I’m a little bummed that my husband and I don’t have any weddings to attend in 2013.    One year we had 5 weddings to attend all in the same month!  I love weddings!  The food, the atmosphere, an excuse to get dolled up, and seeing another couple celebrate their love.

We worked with Kimberly  back in October of 2012 on her Letterpress Wedding Invitations.  In honor of her upcoming wedding, I wanted to showcase them.    She’s getting married at the Trump National Golf Club which is a beautiful venue located in Los Angeles, California.  My brother-in-law actually got married here back in July of 2007 and this place is just breathtaking!  Her Letterpress Invitations were printed on our thick 220# Fluorescent White cardstock which I  loved because we were able press it pretty deep, showcasing the awesomeness of letterpress!  Not only that, but we were also able to edge paint it with this beautiful purple color which came out so beautifully!

Letterpress Invitations: Simply Gold

I am obsessed with printing with our gold ink it appears! I can’t stress enough how much I love printing something so simple, yet timeless. It was quite an interesting story on how I was able to work with Susanna on her wedding invitations a few months ago. Apparently Susanna was looking for Letterpress Wedding Invitations and some how found Simply Letterpressed after a few Google searches. Upon looking through the blog and seeing my name, she connected it back to an old high school friend of hers, who she happened to still be friends with on Facebook. It turns out she was friends with my husband. What a small world, right? They went to high school and college together and she now resides in New York. She e-mailed my husband and he got us in touch. She was such a pleasure to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed working on her Letterpress Invitations suite. It just boggles my mind at times at how small this world can be! Social media, too! What a great way to stay connected to everyone you know!

Her invitations were printed on Crane Lettra 220# in Pearl white and the additional Letterpress Cards were printed on 110# in Pearl White.  I’m also obsessed with edge painting.  It just gives it that extra, subtle, pop of wow.

Whisper the password “Gatsby”

I am so pleased to announce that we’ve recently had the pleasure of working with such a wonderful team of professionals for a fabulous photo shoot. Whitney of Wish Wonder Dream contacted us just a few short months ago to print stationery for the styled photo shoot and we were beyond thrilled to work with her again (we’ve worked with Whitney in the past for our own wedding last year in March).  Whitney teamed up with Amanda Claverie of Rosebud Floral Design and Heidi Ryder of Heidi Ryder Photography to come up with such a wonderful concept: Gatsby Reimagined!  When I saw the word Gatsby, I was sold.  Who doesn’t love this era and style?  I feel like I am somewhat of an old soul so this definitely peaked my interest, to say the least.  She had also mentioned that the photo shoot was going to be held at the LA Athletic Club; my heart just melted.  I was so giddy just imagining how everything was going to look!

The Letterpress Wedding Invitations

She sent over inspirational images and even sketched out some ideas of how she imagined the stationery to look like.  We printed everything on the Ecru White cardstock which I thought was very fitting for the shoot.  The Letterpress Invitations were printed on the 220# Ecru White cardstock which we printed on our wonderful 10×15 Chandler & Price with gold ink.  We printed the additional pieces (menu, RSVP post card, etc) on the 110# Ecru on the Vandercook 4.    The combination of the Ecru cardstock and the gold turned out so beautifully and definitely gave it more of that 1920’s feel.

That’s part of why I am so in love with Letterpress; the technique, the century old machines, the history.

It was so exciting to see everything come together and I’m so thrilled to share these wonderful photos with you.

Gatsby Reimagined!

Letterpress Paisley Gold and Blue Wedding Invitations

I recently had the tremendous pleasure of working with such a wonderful couple, Shiny and Ali for their letterpress wedding invitations. Shiny initially contacted me via email and I was also able to speak with Ali on the phone to get to know them better. We bounced some ideas back and forth and Shiny mentioned she wanted her invitations to incorporate a paisley design. She emailed me a photo of this gorgeous dress for inspiration and it had this beautiful blue and gold colors on them. I was in love! I had to get this on paper ASAP!  The details from a paisley design…oh boy! The gold and blue combination complimented each other very nicely as well.

In addition to the invitations, they also wanted letterpress map/directions card, accommodation cards, and RSVP cards. I was so in love with the paisley that I wanted to include that on the additional pieces as well. I am so pleased with the finished product!  The gold edge paint topped it off nicely.

Letterpress Wedding Invitations with Gold Ink

Karolina and David tied the knot back in May of this year. I am so glad I was able to take part in their wedding and print their invitations. From one newlywed to another…congrats!

We printed a very elegant 1-color print with Gold Ink for her invitation suite. I love printing with Gold because it’s just not something you work with everyday. Putting it onto the Chandler and Price and watching it ink up was just beautiful! The invitations were printed on the 220# Pearl White cardstock and the additional cards were on the 110# Pearl White.

Did I mention how much I love weddings? Too bad we only have one wedding to attend to this year (besides ours, that is. LOL).  I just love the ambiance of a wedding!  Oh yeah, and the food, too! 😉
