No, your eyes are not deceiving you – this version we did of our Aneto design really is this awesomely amazing.  The copper shine foil stamping looks so good with chartreuse letterpress ink!  Such a good combo.  We can’t take all the credit though – this order came to us courtesy of Salutations, Chapel Hill – thanks guys!

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.

Sutton design – Elegant and Polished Letterpress Wedding Invitations

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.

Design Contest Winner: Black + Robin’s Egg Inks create Brilliant Beauty

Take a peek at these vibrant and high spirited save the dates!  We have Melanie at Salutations in Charlotte, North Carolina to thank for these beauties!  We were even able to get a bit of a back story to find out where the inspiration came to create a design so eye catching and brilliant. The bride loved the bold pattern of our Evans design and wanted to use our robin’s egg ink color to truly make a statement.  We love to see couples choosing more modern and chic designs for their save the dates, even when they’re planning on sending a super formal invitation suite like these guys are planning.  The happy couple said that their save the dates totally matched their fun and bubbly personalities — and we couldn’t agree more! Thanks so much to Salutations for sending us such a fun save the date set — we can’t wait to see the invitations!

Thanks to Melanie at Salutations in Charlotte, North Carolina for the opportunity to print a beautiful letterpress + offset wedding invitations. Using submitted artwork to combine offset printing for their folio and letterpress printing for their cards, the patterns and designs used in this set were very striking. Seamist compliments taupe very well to begin with, but we were very pleased to see how elegant everything looked when put together. Great work, Melanie!
