Our best wishes go out to Alexandra and Gabriel on their wedding day! We created a beautiful set of invitations based on our Roses design. We never get tired of seeing those gorgeous roses in print, especially when they are in a subtle tint, giving the design a bit of texture. This set was printed in charcoal ink on warm white paper. How cute is that stack of pancakes with syrup on the event card?

Congratulations to Katie & Richard on their wedding in Villanova, Pennsylvania this past weekend! They loved our Laurel Wreath design, with an added border. The suite was printed in warm gray ink on natural white paper, giving a very sophisticated and classic feeling to the design. We love printing this floral wreath illustration, with its beautiful detail.

A belated congratulations to Carys and David for their wedding last month! They were married at Cedar Lakes Estate, an upscale summer camp, in upstate New York. The venue used to be a summer camp, so a wedding there includes the full camp experience with cabins, games by the lake, meals in a dining hall and a treehouse - what fun! Their invitations were based on our Hudson design, printed in navy and gold ink with fall themed imagery. We created a custom monogram using an apple illustration, which was printed on thank you cards and the weekend guide. One of our favorite pieces was the custom coaster, with an illustration and recipe of their signature cocktail, Winnie’s Bootlegger.

Our heartfelt congratulation to Anna And Said, who were married in NYC this weekend! They were a pleasure to work with, and chose a classic and romantic design for the save the date cards, and wedding invitation sets. You can’t go wrong with rich, black ink on warm white paper.

Here’s a super special invitation post because it features our dear friends Abby and Sam! They were married on Saturday at the Green Building in Brooklyn. It was a pleasure to design and print these invitations and a joy to celebrate with them last weekend! Their invitations, which were a spin on our Modern Love design, feature a New York City skyline silhouette image. All of the cards are printed in slate blue and black ink on warm white paper.

Congrats to Caitlin to Teddy on their wedding in charming Chatham, Massachusetts this weekend! We have a love for Cape Cod, so this seaside wedding seems like a dream. They chose our Maritime design, complete with flying seagulls and a vintage map envelope liner. Their invitations were printed in navy and slate blue ink on warm white paper, and feel perfectly suited to a Cape Cod wedding.

Congratulations to Emily & Mike for their wedding this weekend! Basilica Hudson is such a cool venue, and we love designing invitations for weddings there. We used our Downtown design, and customized it, with the addition of an image of the Basilica Hudson building in a tinted embossed ink. The save the date card was printed with a brick wall pattern, to play on the structure of the building. Holding the cards together was a custom website tag, printed with the same brick pattern. The whole design was enveloped in a lined gray envelope featuring a vintage map of the Hudson Valley and upstate New York.

We’ve added a couple new botanical greeting cards to our retail line this fall. I’m hoping that having these ferns and roses cards around the studio will remind us of summer gardens as the cooler season sets in. These are available for sale in our online shop: www.sesameletterpress.com/shop-all

Here is a peek at the process of printing our Fern cards. We use plastic polymer plates on our press, which you can see below as the green run of this design. Every card goes through the press, one at a time, for each different ink run. This card actually has 3 colors (dark green, black and pale coral), which is a lot of printing!
