PRESS CHECK at the Letterpress :: Letterpress Wedding Invitations





 James and I bought our original Heidelberg Letterpress Printing Machine in May. We use to outsource our letterpress division to a large invitation vendor. Since May, we've printed our exclusive signature letterpress wedding invitations under our very own roof. We are very excited to SHOW you the quality of impression we can achieve. Shown above is a 110lb. 100% cotton card with black ink. As ALWAYS our hand painted wedding invitations and most of our exclusive signature collection designs can boast letterpress printing! Letterpress invitations are TRULY LUXURIOUS and INVITING! Wouldn't you agree?

I just read on wedding bee about the trouble a bride is having putting together her navy and yellow color scheme wedding. I of course immediately jumped over to the Style Circle and whipped up this inspiration board delight with her in mind.

Remember, when planning your wedding color scheme, you do not have to overboard. Navy doesn't have to be just navy. You can feature navy, royal and a blue violet! A splash of "navy" here and there with a tiny dash of yellow is just right!

Have fun!
