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.

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.

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.

The work of Mr. Boddington has a very old world style. Wax seals, hand calligraphy, presidential looking design are a part of the feel of the studio. Overall a very stately yet fun effect. The work shown in the booth was incredibly tactile with quirky typography from both typefaces and hand lettering. This booth was one of my favorites.

The work at Que Stien is so delicate with beautiful and intricate borders and detailed illustrations of botanicals. Great colors… it’s what I remember most about this booth. I also remember the fantastic quality and crispness of printing. Gorgeous stuff.

Abby Jean Press makes some absolutely beautiful wedding invitations and social stationery that employ great typography and elegant patterns and borders. Abby Jean was one of a few that I noticed who use engraving techniques in a very modern way. The traditional typography is freshened here by modern color combinations. Loved the delicate flourishes and borders. The quality of engraving was so perfect: smooth lines, fine details were exquisitely rendered.
