Versailles – utterly romantic letterpress invitation

7.05.2013

Inspired by ornate French tapestries and delicate lace from the lavish and romantic Baroque period, this stunning and utterly romantic letterpress invitation suite is updated with a color palette for today’s modern bride. We letterpress printed our Versailles suite in soft pink and deep navy blue inks. This beautiful letterpress wedding invitation suite is also a wonderful choice for shower invitations, Bat Mitzvah invitations or custom letterpress party invitations.

Further enhancing the grandeur and tactile experience, we incorporated an optional Navy suede invitation backer and an Arturo Gatefold enclosure, wrapped with a silken rayon ribbon and sealed with a coordinating favor tag.

entry #9: our SHORELINE invitation inspiration

3.16.2012

The ‘Shoreline‘ wedding invitation suite from our new Umi 2 album is the perfect invitation for a beach chic affair. We were inspired by sun-washed French ticking textiles and the traditional Nantucket basket weave that pay homage to coastal New England living. We chose to letterpress print this design in a timeless combination of ‘Navy Blue’ and ‘Stone’ gray inks on crisp, white 100% cotton rag paper. The nautical sea life icons create a classic beachy feel, while the simplistic organic nature of the artwork gives this invitation a modern touch. Take a peek below at the inspiration behind this charming invitation suite, and come back again for more mood boards coming soon from our new Umi 2 album!
