Our first regional collection was inspired by iconic wedding venues in and around Brooklyn, New York. The collection of 12 wedding suites and 11 stand-alone save the dates features hand-illustrated artwork, new paper colors, and plenty of nods to New York. We’re excited to feature a glimpse into the collection below. The rest of the regional designs from the collection can be viewed on our website here.

Our flagship store worked with Allison and Taylor to create their green floral letterpress wedding invitations. The typography printed in Cobblestone ink acted as a neutral to the surrounding Celadon florals. Our Tristan design served as the inspiration for their design. Additionally, the couple made the design their own by placing the botanical elements in nonadjacent corners framing their wording. A serif font kept the typography clean as well as consistent throughout. Finally, a striped envelope liner pattern added a geometric element to a more garden inspired set.

Paper Affair Dallas helped us to create these monogrammed letterpress wedding invitations for Catherine and Justin. Inspired by our Annata design, a floral cartouche situated at the top of the invitation held the letterpress monogram. Typography in Antique Gold and Black letterpress inks followed beneath with a traditional structure. The accommodations card as well as the reply card features similar floral imagery imagined in different ways. Finally, the thank you card used the same floral cartouche and monogram to keep everything cohesive.

These Tawny Matte foil wedding invitations came together thanks to the help of Magnificent Milestones. This typography based layout kept the design clean and simple with focus on the bride as well as the groom. Inspired by Neville, the couple decided to keep their design similar yet chose a champagne-like foil over black ink. A square reception card corresponded with the invitation in Tawny Matte foil as well. Finally, an envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern added color to an otherwise monochromatic suite.

Abby, Jeremy, and big brother Nash welcomed little Sienna into the world this past November. They worked with Marissa Allie Designs to create these rose gold birth announcements. They used a flourished script font to highlight her name and a clean block font for the surrounding text. A stitched border as well as a sweet motif at the top kept the announcement playful. Finally, a solid purple envelope liner added a splash of color to this little one’s set.

50 has never looked so good! We worked with Wynwood Letterpress to create these 50th birthday invitations in vine letterpress. A Blind Deboss woodgrain pattern added to the background of the invitation created rustic texture. The left-justified typography kept everything clean and bold in a modern block font. The suite contained a cohesive accommodations card as well as reply card in vine letterpress ink. The envelopes in jute brought a warm tone to the set with a woodgrain patterned envelope liner to match.

The Little Harbor Club in Michigan was the back-drop as well as the inspiration behind Liz and David’s September wedding. We created personalized letterpress wedding invitations for the couple using David’s venue illustration. The invitation printed in all Hunter letterpress ink paired with insert cards to match kept everything neutral and monochromatic. This tonal color palette allowed the illustration to do all the talking. The couple started their day taking a dip with the photographer in tow and ended with their nearest and dearest by their side! We’ll let Liz and David take it from here to share even more of the little details:

What was your favorite moment from your wedding day?

This is a very difficult question. There were more than one for sure, but when David and I woke up on our wedding day- we took my dad’s boat out and went for a swim. Our photographer came along and shot the whole thing and those photos are some of my favorite of the whole day.

How did you choose your invitation design and ink colors?

We knew we wanted to incorporate a drawing by David on the invitation. I wanted something that looked classic but modern- I actually had a hard time deciding on ink colors but in the end I went with my gut.. which is usually green. Our whole wedding was quite neutral. All the men were in black tuxes (except for David who wore midnight blue). And our flowers were all white and green. My shoes had red roses on them, that was the only pop of color!

What was the inspiration behind your wedding?

As David and I started to plan our wedding, we knew it was going to look a little different than the traditional schedule. What we envisioned was a timeless dinner party affair. We had 62 guests and a short and sweet outdoor ceremony followed by a multi-course served dinner with wine pairings that David and I chose. I was so very blessed to be surrounded by talented loved ones, David drew an illustration for our invitations and my sister turned that illustration into a ceramic tile for all our guests. September 2018 was also the month my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary and they had their rehearsal dinner where our wedding was!

What was your favorite design element?

Probably our table! The whole setup was perfect – 31 people on each side. Taper candles, lots of glassware, custom tiles at each setting. Incredible food and wine, gorgeous florals. I could have sat there all night long.

What surprised you most about your wedding?

How wonderful the whole weekend truly was. I didn’t expect it to go poorly of course, but I think I was surprised at how magical it all felt! I couldn’t believe when Rachel, our wedding coordinator, told us it was time to make our exit. Also Michigan weather can be unpredictable especially in September, we were graced with the most beautiful sunny weekend!

Any advice to future couples planning their own wedding?

Everyone says the same thing, “enjoy it because it goes by so fast!” This is true. I would also say to revel in the magic of watching it unfold before your eyes.

Our friends at Fete Collection helped us to create these nautical inspired letterpress save the dates. A Pale Gray letterpress motif subtly positioned in the background added dimension to a clean layout. Typography printed in Navy letterpress gave a nautical nod to the Massachusetts location. A  letterpress border to match added a simple touch to a sweet save the date. Finally, an anchor on the reverse of the envelope gave guests a glimpse as to what they would find inside.

The windy city was the back-drop to Jennifer and Michael’s wedding this past September. The couple worked with Magnificent Milestones who helped bring their Chicago skyline wedding invitations to life. Silver Matte foil and Shale letterpress ink kept the color palette cool and harmonious. The suite contained a corresponding reply card, details card, as well as a monogrammed thank you set to match. Finally, the pocketfold printed with a geometric pattern kept all the pieces together. The couple also took advantage of our day-of promotion and ordered matching programs, menus and place-cards.

We worked with our friends at Ipanema Press to create these modern silver foil Bar Mitzvah invitations for Jake’s big day. Our No. 10 panel became the canvas for this typography based layout. The Bella Blue backdrop allowed the Silver Shine foil as well as Jake’s name to pop off the page. They kept the reply card clean in Navy letterpress ink with a reply envelope coordinating in Bella Blue. Lastly, the envelope liner captured the New York skyline in a sketchy style to keep the set playful while still sophisticated.
