Font Obsessed

For many of us in the industry, October would be the start of our low peak season. A lot of exciting things have been happening and please do check back as we are planning new things for the upcoming year.

I have many real weddings to catch up on but for now, I would like to introduce a new font that I've been obsessed with! We recently purchased this about two weeks ago. Rachel Zoe collects vintage dresses. I am obsessed with collecting fonts and graphics (fortunately for our customers, fonts and graphics get used for new designs!). Once I'm obsessed with a font, nothing seems to compare! Here are some items that we recently designed with the new font (it would be the script).




This font is so lovely and beautiful to me because it mimics hand calligraphy. For our flat printed collection, you can add guest address printing in this font for $1.25 per envelope.

Inside Weddings Summer 2008

Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July! The heat has definitely announced that summer is here and another one of our custom beach invitations were featured in a magazine. We've done many variations of this invitation but this particular one featured in the Summer Issue of Inside Weddings is our popular papyrus wrap with the blue and white invitation mounted inside. For a touch of softness, the wrap was finished in a navy satin bow instead of a our usual tag or some embellishment.

The Shower Invitation

After weeks of delay, I finally designed the invitation for my brother in law's baby shower. The difficult thing about being a stationer is that a) people expect a fabulous invitation so there's that pressure and b) you can't just do an evite or buy generic ones and neither do you want to!

Here's the invitation!

New Look!

We have redesigned the website and we hope you like the new look! Besides the aesthetic change, we had started this project more for navigation improvements. Now you will notice that we have separated our wedding items between flat printing and letterpress printing so that there is no need for that extra click. Another new feature is that you can directly order samples of the invitation designs right on the product page instead of going to a whole separate category for ordering.

Yes, of course we are working online proofing...stay tuned.

Real Wedding - Jean Min and Hubert Chan

Jean and Hubert got married on March 1, 2008 at the Burbank Equestrian Center. Their wedding invitations were pressed in pear and pinecone and their wedding decor included bursts of apricot and red. Here are some pictures of their wedding stationery that we also designed. I love the cookie station that they had (top right)

InStyle Weddings Summer 2008

We're totally honored to be featured in the latest issue of InStyle Weddings! This invitation was custom designed for a beach wedding. It is chipboard backed and wrapped in our sand colored cardstock. Tucked in a sinamay bag, it'll be hard for guests to miss this beach event.

Return Address Printing Part 2

As mentioned in a previous post, when you opt for return address printing for your invitations, we do more than just print you text. This is another great example from the Queen Anne invitation.
