Katie and Mitchell worked with the Houston Invitation Service for their elegant photo save the dates. Framed by our square Dawson cartouche, a digitally printed image of the couple looks beautiful paired with our gold matte foil.

We’re thrilled to share photos from a recent collaboration with the talented Kate Ignatowski that was featured today on Green Wedding Shoes! Our Cimarron letterpress invitation suite help set the tone for this rustic, eco-friendly wedding inspiration shoot, which took place at Pioneer Farm. Kate was inspired by her experience of shifting her business to be more environmentally conscious, so she reached out to a team of earth-friendly vendors to prove that having a wedding with low-to-no impact on the environment is totally possible (and incredibly pretty!). We love the end results – take a look!
Many thanks to Kate for inviting us to be a part of this amazing team!

Thanks go out to our friends at Papier Girl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois for submitting these sophisticated save the dates for us to print. This set is complete with an offset back pattern in midnight and a snazzy envelope lining in mulberry. We love that an oversized font is used for the couple’s names, which helps to captivate the guest’s attention.

Every client has a set budget and it can be difficult to balance cost with design. Judy Paulen Designs knows just how to do this. By scaling the save the date size down from the standard, they free up a little room to add all the bells and whistles the client was hoping to include. The Odin design is pretty dynamic to begin with and when given the opportunity to add embellishments, the back pattern and envelope liner served as a perfect compliment.
