Kate Arend’s save the dates for her own wedding are absolutely stunning. (via Kate’s blog, wit + delight)
Save the Date by Kate Arends. Printing by Studio on Fire.
I saw the new designs for Bella Figura via Ellie of Mint today and loved what I saw.
The new designs are from extremely talented designers such as Erin Jang, Jessica Hische, and Ellie herself! There are so many amazing additions… so hard to pick just one to show you! Be sure to see them all on the Bella Figura website.
Ribbon by Erin Jang. Available at Bella Figura.
I cannot get over the typography. I am absolutely floored by this wedding invitation set produced by the amazing Studio on Fire and designed by the super talented groom Jefferson Perky of Perky Bros. The invite was offset with the wood grain pattern and then the type was letter pressed. A save the date, invite, accommodations card, custom belly band and thank you card were produced. See more of this suite on Beast Pieces.

Sorry the site’s been out of whack the past few days. Thank you to everyone who has been so kind as to alert me of the issue via emails and Twitter. (And extra shouts to Stefan who was kind enough to fix it for me.)
Now that that’s out of the way, please allow me to indulge in some navel gazing and blatant endorsing… I recently had the immense pleasure of working with Ben & Selina over at Studio on Fire to produce a pretty complicated invitation I designed for an upcoming wedding. Seriously, if anyone is looking for a printer, pleeaaaase drop them a line because they were so attentive, thorough and all around lovely people to work with.
Ben & Selina recently did a write up of the invitations they produced for me on their blog, Beast Pieces if you’d like to check it out and see more photos.

I’ve been loving the Studio on Fire blog, Beast Pieces for the past few weeks as they’ve been updating more frequently with current projects. Their advice for preparing files and choosing inks and papers for letterpress and other printing is proving quite invaluable… definitely bookmark this as a great resource.
The work shown above completely blew me away. (Of course, most of their work does but this… wow.) They were commissioned to design an engagement book consisting of a collection of emails between a couple that were eventually letterpress printed and bound. I especially love that blind impression on the french folds. Gorgeous work.
