Sometimes it’s softness and subtlety that are key.  Check out this overly modern Helani wedding invitation suite submitted by our friends at Stationer of New Orleans in Louisiana.  We adore the choice of such a unique color palette – and pairing our mint + peacock inks together worked wonders for this design, making the invitation look almost vintage.  Then the couple chose our always popular chalain pattern in mint for their envelope liner – tying this set together so nicely.

The perfect pairing of our azalea and ocean inks really make this letterpressed Aneto invitation set stand out – in a good way!  We have our friends at Arabesque in Naples, Florida to thank for sending along such a colorful suite – with a happy go lucky feeling that has us all smiling.  We just love the contemporary fonts and a floral motif that provides the most beautiful accented border.  And then there’s the reply postcards that help maintain the modern vibe.

Check out this letterpressed Breton suite submitted by our good friend, Laura at Rugg Road Paper Company in Boston, Massachusetts.  We’ve fallen for the warm color palette of saffron and merlot inks.  The simplicity of this set is endearing and ever so sweet.  The two color border around the invitation creates a perfect frame and we love that this set doesn’t go overboard on design elements.  And adding a custom offset liner printed in the same ink colors as the rest of the set adds even more of a romantic feel.

We’d like to thank our friends at The Dandelion Patch in Reston, Virginia for sending us this incredible, nature inspired letterpress suite.  Pairing our luscious peacock and pewter inks looks stellar and oh so elegant!  Our cameron font is used for all of the text keeping this set more on the formal side.  Adding an offset belly band and envelope lining looks divine and maintains the classic feel.  The attention to detail on the cascading flowers and flying dragonflies has us head over heels.
