Custom Letterpress Wedding Invitations in Peacock + Pewter Inks

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.

Letterpress + Foil Stamped Custom Wedding Invitations

Can we have a drum roll please?  Why, you ask?  Because we are over the moon excited for the launch of foil stamping at Smock!  These custom letterpress invitations feature silver matte foil for the bride and groom’s name, adding just a touch of shimmer to this traditional wedding set.  Foil stamping allows us to incorporate the very look of metallics onto custom printing.  So now there is truly a way to make your own wedding invitations outshine the rest.  Classic black paired with silver matte foil looks impeccable and clean cut on these.  We’d like to thank our friends at The Write Image in Rockville, Maryland for sending us this amazing suite.

Beautiful + Classic Burstell Invitation – Letterpressed in Pool Ink

This Burstell customization is truly striking, while nice, crisp lines on the invitation keep the invitation looking minimalistic.  This set was submitted to us by our great friend, Jessica at Salutations in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The exterior of the pocketfold showcases our grand clairveaux pattern which is letterpressed in our dove ink – making for a subtle, romantic vision.  Open the pocketfold to our mondsee pattern which is a bit more modern – but this classic, text based invitation looks absolutely stellar.  Our pool ink is a flawless choice- matching back to the couple’s venue at The Cloister at Sea Island.  We feel that our pool ink radiates warmth and provides the perfect contrast with our dove ink.

Vibrant Letterpress Invitations for an Island Wedding Celebration

Take a splash into summer with a cool and colorful Helani letterpress wedding suite submitted by our friends at Kate’s Paperie – SoHo in New York City.  Our smock spencerian calligraphy font is always a winner and is used for the couple’s name and wedding venue lines – which adds to the whimsical feel.  Playful type and our robin’s egg ink really create the excitement for the wedding on the island of Turks + Caicos.  What really has us pepped is the sensational wash of robin’s egg on the envelope liner – we can close our eyes and see the sparkling and inviting crystal waters.  We think this invitation suite is spot on – and a perfect match to what we expect was a fabulous and unforgettable wedding celebration!

High Spirited Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Amber at Hitched in Washington, DC submitted this lovely Odin wedding invitation suite to us for printing.  Letterpress printed in our navy ink and a custom purple ink, the combination of these two cool tones brings a feeling of joy to these modern invitations.  This set definitely has it all.  Each piece is letterpressed on our luxurious 2-ply bamboo paper and matches perfectly back to the charming and vivid invitation.  But we think the focal point of this suite is the letterpressed sleeve in our pastis pattern adding even more flair with the beautifully textured lines.  We thought this would be a fun and bubbly set to share with you at the start of the summer wedding season!
