Lauren and Thomas used our Ashbourne design as the inspiration for their nautical letterpress wedding invitations created thanks to the help of Fat Cat Paperie. They kept the Sand letterpress border and combined this with Navy letterpress as a seafaring nod to their reception venue of Peconic Bay Yacht Club. Other subtle yet purposeful touches include the compass, starfish and anchor motifs found on the weekend festivities card also printed in Navy letterpress. The reply card was kept simple and clean as another piece within the suite. They added an envelope liner pattern as a sweet way of incorporating a map of the area with heart motifs highlighting places of importance to the bride and groom. It’s easy to say that Ashbourne was the perfect invitation inspiration for Lauren and Thomas’s nautical affair.

Marique and Derek’s were married this past January at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Their
botanical foil stamped wedding invitations reflected the aesthetic of their venue beautifully. A plum letterpress border and a thin tawny matte border added a subtle touch of color yet still complimented the custom pattern scattered within the suite. This Haynes set included a coordinating reply card, rehearsal dinner card and accommodations card, all carrying botanical motifs throughout – including the envelope liner as to wrap everything up. This stunning suite wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our friends at Gus and Ruby!

This past October Jori and Christopher were married at Architectural Artifacts in Chicago. Their venue is filled with a combination of formal yet vintage touches throughout and their refined letterpress wedding invitations reflected the space perfectly. Our Bristen design originally uses Sand letterpress only on the leaf motif, but this couple decided to change it up by throwing Taupe and Tawny Matte accents within the mix as well. To give the traditional invitation layout a little something extra, Tawny Matte was also added to the names of the bride and groom to make them shine among the rest. Guests will find the same leaf motif added throughout the rest of the set to keep everything cohesive and interesting to the eye. Thanks to the help of Quintessence Fine Papers and Gifts, we were able to create an incredibly sweet suite.

Kate and Dan’s family and friends traveled from near and far to attend their Nantucket wedding celebration this past June. Their nautical letterpress wedding day pieces included programs, menus, table number cards and a details booklet. Each coordinated with the other, using blues such as our Royale and Azure letterpress inks as their color palette of choice. These pieces reflected the easy, laid-back nature of the island with design accents like an organic border around the program and a fun dot pattern for the table number cards. The details booklet added a personal touch with a note from the bride and groom and a list of events scheduled for the weekend. We have no doubt this wedding came together as beautifully as their day of pieces – thanks to the help of Parchment Fine Papers!

James and Saragh’s wedding invitation suite reflects a monochromatic color palette with green as the leading color. These sophisticated letterpress wedding invitations carry a polished, classic kind of look that will never go out of style. While they decided to keep the cards themselves on the simple side, they played up the envelope liner by using our Payette pattern in Grass to match with the rest of the suite. To give this set a little extra love, a coordinating ribbon held everything together with a hand crafted monogram added as the finishing touch. Thanks to the help of our friend Shayne at Ink Papery, James and Saragh timeless invitation suite is something they will still look fondly at even after years of being together.
