Kristen knew exactly what she wanted – aubergene and gold letterpress invitations that were formal yet whimsical. But that was as far as she could give me direction. We talked about some elements that were to be included – a chandelier was a thought at one point. But after I designed the frame for Heather’s […]
It is no secret – I love letterpress. If I designed invitations for myself, they would certainly be letterpress. When Laurel met with me and want metallic gold letterpress, I was so excited. I used three different fonts with a rose peony graphic. All of the inserts are bundled with a large piece of gold […]
Lauren is one of my favorite brides of all time. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, Lauren was one of the models in my old slideshow on my website. So I was ecstatic when she asked me to make invitations for her baby shower. I’ve been dying to do letterpress baby shower invitations […]
Katie loved any invitation with birds on it – as do I. Katie contacted me last summer to design her invitations. Since then she had sent me dozens of images of invitations that she liked. If it had a bird and was letterpress, she loved it. So coming up with the invitation was a challenge […]
Jennifer is having a gorgeous taupe and deep sage green wedding. She wanted something very vintage & classic and LOVED letterpress. Jennifer sent me this photo of her wedding dress for inspiration. The letterpress invitations use a very formal graphic that follows the same shape as her dress and the same floral inspiration in the […]

But Andrea approached me just last month and asked if I’d do her invitations for her intimate Royal Park Hotel wedding in October. Andrea’s wedding was originally scheduled in April but they were in a terrible car accident and […]
Jessica contacted me with my first request for “Green” invitations. Kevin is an environmentalist and the paper products were very important to him. We did these invitations with 100% cotton rag stock. So not only is it paper free, but it is using scrap from the cotton industry! We did an RSVP postcard to further […]
I always feel so lucky when I get to do a letterpress invitation. There is nothing like the feel of the ultra thick cardstock – particularly for a paper phenatic like me. 😉 I designed this with a swirl graphic that I had blind debossed – letterpressed with no ink. Then her inserts were made […]
I was thrilled when Jackie contacted me. She is in one of the most expensive invitation markets in the country – New York City. She had gotten crazy outrageous quotes for custom invitations when she found me. We ended up doing one of my most lavish invitations – a complete set of letterpress invitations, with […]
When Lisa met with me, she had NO idea what she wanted. She had even bought some sample invitation and hated all of them. So I asked what she loved about the wedding. She pulled out a picture of her cake with tiny black ribbon tied in a simple bow on each layer. I immediately […]
