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?

Navy and Yellow Wedding Inspiration Board

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!

I adore STYLE CIRCLE at Style Me Pretty! I wanted to prove beach theme can certainly be BEACH CHIC!
WEDDING COLOR IDEAS FOR YOUR BEACH WEDDING:
Aqua blues, gold, light gray, beige, dusty pale mauves and buttercream colors are the perfect color palette match!
WOW! {Just In} We have achieved graceful, elegant beach theme wedding stationery:
"We received so many compliments on our wedding invitations that you prepared for us that I decided to have handwritten matching notes for each guest in their rooms at the destination houses on Hatteras Island where they are staying. The invitations far exceeded my expectations! We planned a casual beach chic wedding and the invitations I ordered from mypersonalartist.com you were elegant, yet not too formal. They were timeless, perfectly worded and prepared with trimmings. Invitations are a guests first impression of an event. Your artwork conveyed the exact message I wanted to send to my guests about the type of event we had planned - which was that even though this is a seaside wedding, it will be very beautiful, stylish and graceful. Your artwork is just simply beautiful. Thank you, Tracy B." Read more client testimonials

So don't HIGH-HAT your friends, invite all of them to your ROARING TWENTIES party! Your party is sure to be the CAT'S MEOW with this invite! And your guests, well they will think your the BEE'S KNEES!!
