Charming Gardener

Absolutely loved the work at Charming Gardener. Gorgeous typography and imagery. Loved all the letterpress work for occasions and identity. The attention to detail is exquisite.

One Blossom

Such pretty wedding invitations from One Blossom incorporating a wide variety of botanical motifs. Some very striking color combinations… also am loving how each piece of the package above fits into the overall theme without being too matchy-matchy.

Whimsical Bird invitation.

Dauphine Press

Adored these new letterpressed notebooks from Dauphine Press‘ new(ish) online shop. The press is now carrying a wide variety of notecards, notebooks, gorgeous letterpressed favor boxes and custom stationery in addition to their wedding invitation business. Absolutely lovely stuff.

Louella Press

Speaking of checking back with some of the designers I saw at the Stationery Show, just saw that one of my favorite designers at the show, Louella Press, has a full site up with lots of work from thier wedding portfolio. They use the engraving technique for thier cards which I have never seen done in such a modern and forward way. Love the engraving on dark card stocks. They design with a varied style and do traditional, modern and vintage looks that all look amazing. The quality of engraving is superb… gorgeous stuff.

Bouquet Invites and a detail of Jasmine.

Plume Press

The work at Plume Press is absolutely outstanding. Love this aesthetic, lots of flourishes and ornamentation. The color combinations are quirky without being too weird. Beautiful work.

New Cards @ Good on Paper!

Lisa from Good on Paper emailed me this morning to announce her new line of screened cards. The cards feature an adorable bird motif and are printed with vegetable inks on recycled paper. Great color combinations, as always. Lisa also has a new card called With You All the Way that she designed in the memory of her cousin Gary. 100% of the proceeds of this card benefit the American Cancer Society.

Clockwise from top left: Blue Bird Notecard, Feathers Notecard, Red Bird Notecard, Magnolia Notecard. All cards $4.25 each or $18 for a box of 8.

OrangeBeautiful

Beautiful typography and design at OrangeBeautiful. Also offered is custom bookbinding, examples of which are shown in the portfolio… lots of gorgeous custom books that appear to be scrapbooks and photo albums. Love the monogram above as well as the line of greeting cards that debuted at this year’s Stationery Show.

Ceci New York

Top invitation studio Ceci has updated their portfolio with new custom invitations that are in the trademark gorgeous Ceci-style. Each section begins with a few new weddings worth checking out. Love the Save-the-Date for Ellie & Mike with great old-world style. Adriana & Tony’s invitation is so romantic and the above invite for Lourdes & Tyler features lush botanical illustration. Love!

Jeena & Roshen

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Roshen & Jeena Mathew on their marriage. I’m back from Dallas but swamped again. Hopefully I’ll be back later today. Pictures to come soon on Flickr. Edit: Pictures now up here.

Wiley Valentine

I can’t even tell you how much I loved the work at Wiley Valentine. I’m seriously searching for the words. Please visit their portfolio and look at the wedding invitations with the beautiful and intricate scrolls and ornaments. Then go over to the baby and see the sweetly designed announcements featuring photographs and detailed illustrations. See the social stationery with the gorgeous monograms and the new collection with the new luxe wedding invitations and imprintables. Also notice throughout the beautiful envelopes that are printed to match with artwork bleeding over folds. Definitely a Stationery Show favorite.

Various details from the collection and custom work of Wiley Valentine. This does not even show the full breadth because they carry so much more. See the website!

Braun & Brown

Beautiful botanical illustrations in soft color serve as the backdrop for this line of invitations from Braun & Brown. These were my favorite of the invitations I saw at the booth and loved that they came in such a wide variety of colors. The printing quality is also done so well that fine details are picked up.
