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.

Sample invitations from the In The Garden gallery.

Apiary Design

All of Apiary‘s designs are printed with raised ink. The effect is quite luscious and only makes the patterns and colors pop even more. Announcements with color combinations, patterns and name plates are available for purchase but you may also choose your own combinations to suit your needs. Great patterns here. Very gorgeous effect.

Masha D’Yans

The work of Masha D’Yans caught my eye at the Stationery Show for the quality of color and brushwork alone. She had the above right displayed quite large and it was such a breath of fresh air. Be sure to visit her and see the rest because the above is not even the best of what she has. So hard to choose! Gorgeous stuff.

Seraph

The visual aesthetic at Seraph is modern yet elegant with great typography and fantastic illustrations. Check out the fashion and the animal illustrations. The colors are layered beautifully as well.

Patisserie Card Co.

The Patisserie Card Co.‘s booth was so adorable and was designed with a traditional patisserie in mind. The work is so sweet and playful. A lot of it reminds me of icing on cookies and old fashioned cookie and candy packaging. Beautiful work.
