This beautiful, and hardly “simple” custom design paired with a custom neon pink ink made one of the more dynamic letterpress sleeves we’ve seen yet. This was one of those letterpress invitation sets that got passed around from hand to hand, met by a series of “oohs” and “aahs.” Thanks so much to Simply Put by Ashley Woodman for all their hard work!

It’s easy to get swept away in these beautiful and delicate letterpress save the dates. These beauties were submitted to us by our great friend, Nancy at Epitome Papers in Edina, Minnesota. We think you’ll agree that these save the dates are current and look absolutely fabulous printed in three ink colors. The oversized textured starfish is the perfect motif for a seaside wedding in Key Largo, Florida. These save the dates are whimsical in their own right – while still being playful and chic. The seahorse pattern envelope liner really makes a bold statement of what guests can expect as far as wedding atmosphere. We can just close our eyes and feel the warmth of the golden sunshine and the white sandy beaches!

Our good friend, Shelby at Seaside Papery in Coronado, California submitted this lovely Burstell letterpress wedding suite for printing. Talk about being pretty in pink with the most beautiful feminine touches! We are totally smitten with the perfect pocketfold – offset printed on both the interior and exterior. The taupe ink is such a soft, neutral tone- and when you pair this with a light shade of pink this set looks all the more delicate and truly picturesque.

Our Sutton design looks prominent printed in mint and navy inks and we think you’ll find it easy to agree! Our good friend, Jessica at Salutations in Charlotte, North Carolina submitted this letterpress suite to us for printing. The repeating Sutton motif looks almost floral as the invitation background pattern – adding to the ornate feel. On the exterior of the pocketfold – we have offset printed our sinclair pattern in navy – and on the folio interior the classic feel is seen within our sherbrooke pattern also in navy. Blues and greens can be incredibly versatile ink colors when it comes to wedding invitations. Navy ink is a superb choice for a sunset ceremony whereas mint can match back to the fauna at the wedding venue.

We’re always excited to see the creative and unique invitation orders from Michelle at Paperkiss in Balmain, Australia. This beyond beautiful custom invitation is letterpressed in our glacier ink which adds even more to the nautical design. Such a soft color palette makes this invitation even more charming! We also feel the soft hue helps set a romantic atmosphere for the upcoming nuptials. We’ve heard that starfish represent a love that cannot be measured – and this makes this invitation all the more sweet!

Our Dawson design is one of our most popular here at Smock – and we always get really psyched to see the ways couples customize this suite to truly make it all their own! Take a look at this rustic Dawson suite submitted to us by our friend, Jahna at The Pleasure of your Company in Lutherville, Maryland. Not only does a fresh color palette make a set all the more trendy, but richer tones also have a way of bringing warmth to a wedding invitation. There’s almost a comforting feeling in such an earthy and bold color palette. Then toss in our sherbrooke envelope liner for even more sophistication!

Soft, subtle hues are what’s in right now! Take a look at these trendsetter custom letterpress wedding invitations. This whimsical set was submitted to us by our great friend, Kappy at Le Village Marche in Arlington, Virginia. We love that our lyon border is featured on the left side of the invitation – adding to the modern feel of this suite. Although this set is more on the contemporary side – choosing a softer color palette helps maintain a timeless and elegant feel for your wedding day. We think these stylish invitations will surely delight their guests!

Now that the wedding has passed, we are able to show you the amazing suite she designed, and we couldn’t be happier to share these with everyone! The suite was letterpress printed in our Pewter ink on our beautiful white bamboo 2-ply paper. All of the pieces were fitted with an offset border in pewter and die-cut in our new Chesapeake design. Each piece has a decorative offset backing and is finished with perfect edge painting in Pewter. The invitation, reply cards, and events card are tucked nicely into a custom offset sleeve.
