The contrast of deep navy on crisp white cardstock never fails to set our hearts aflutter. It's a classic look that allows the quality of the design and letterpress impression come to the forefront.

This set perfectly illustrates what we mean. It features a single ink color, simple border and repeated monogram and the overall effect is gorgeous.

A personalized monogram is a lovely way to bring some individuality to your invitation set. And you can then repeat the monogram on materials that we print for the ceremony and reception (such as programs, menus etc!)

Every so often, we print stationery for ourselves. Whether it's a new set of Sesame Letterpress business cards or notecards with our name at the top, it's always a treat to experiment with some of the layouts and fonts that we regularly work with.Breck was in need of a new set of social stationery so she designed a really lovely, elegant layout:

These are printed in our saturated black ink, using Carolyna font. We love how these have a really strong look while also featuring a few little flourishes and embellishments. So simple and so perfect. Here's a close up of the printing:

We worked with a really lovely couple on their Save the Date Cards. So when the time came for them to print their wedding invitations, we were excited to be involved again. Richie and Vilmarie are getting married in the Dominican Republic and Richie designed these gorgeous invitations, which feature a map of the island.

We love how the design creates so many shades and hues, even though it is only printed in one color. The bride and groom actually stamped the little coral hearts onto the pieces, by hand, after they had been printed.

We worked with a great designer (and soon-to-be-groom) to print his dream Save the Date coasters. These played on the idea of 'tying the knot' with a range of layouts of knotted rope.

The reverse of the coaster featured a simple mention of the date and location of the wedding and a custom monogram featuring the initials of the grooms:

The cleverest element of this design was the way in which the coasters can be overlapped to create a single, unified image. Here's a diagram to show how it works:

We just finished printing gorgeous business cards for a mobile sunless tanning service. The designer created a pretty sunshine-yellow pattern for the back of the card and a simple layout for the front.

We like how the single yellow circle looped over the business name is then repeated in the graphic on the reverse:

This is such a charming card design: we love how the letterpress impression creates the feel of a textile in that repeating pattern.

We are big fans of nautical and maritime imagery and it features on so many of our printed items. From our octopus coasters to our deluxe anchor notecard sets, we love finding ways to reference the sea in our work.So obviously, we adore working with couples to incorporate their vision of the coast into their printed stationery. We've recently worked with two lovely couples on their Save the Date cards.

Meaghan and Andre fell for our ship in a bottle illustration and it just looks so pretty at the top of their card:

We're always happy to include a small motif above the return address on the envelope too. Continuing the seaside theme, Meaghan and Andre opted for a little clam shell:

We love how this Save the Date looks and we can't wait to share photos of their actual wedding invitations!

Erin and Owen also used a dark blue ink for their design (does anything signify the ocean more than a nice, rich, saturated blue?). But they decided to create a truly bespoke card with hand drawn illustrations and handwritten lettering. They also included pops of vivid red:

The little seagull perched on the map in the lower left corner just makes us feel so happy! Here's a close up of part of the map to show the intricacy of the illustrations and the letterpress impression:

We're so excited to hear all about both of these weddings!

We've added a few new designs to our line of coasters. Both of these are inspired by memories of holidays by the beach and searching through the sand for shells and little crustaceans!

These would be perfect for a beach wedding or a BBQ beside the sea. They are also the perfect gift for hosts who live near the ocean. The coasters are beautifully packaged in individual sets of eight. You can choose the blue crab coasters or the coral scallop coasters. Or go ahead and treat yourself to both!

We chose colors that are bright and vibrant and reference the imagery. Here's a photo of us mixing and preparing the coral ink before applying it to the press:

We posted a few months ago about a Save the Date that we printed for a Kiawah Island wedding. It featured the beautiful calligraphy of Betsy Dunlap.Well, here's a sneak peak at a part of the invitation design:

As you can see, there's more of that gorgeous calligraphy. We're most excited about the custom envelope liners that we printed! We love how guests will open the envelope flap and see the alligator printed onto that vibrant purple-y blue!

Custom envelope liners are a great way to make your invitation stand out. We can print a monogram, a pattern or the motif of your choice.
