Megan + Nick are definitely one if my all-time favorite couples, it was so fun to design and create their invitation suite with them! I am so happy to see their invitation suite featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper today. Check out the entire post here and more photos of their modern calligraphy letterpress invitation suite here.
I’m not sure about you but sometimes a card just doesn’t cut it for me (although a beautifully calligraphy+letterpress card does come close). Like when you ask your best girls to be a part of your biggest day… when I was a bride-to-be, I couldn’t find a card that accurately expressed my excitement to have those four girls as my bridesmaids. At the time I was working full-time in the corporate design world, so I didn’t have time to whip something together. In stead, I just called them up and asked them – but I really wish I would have come up with a creative way to pop the bridesmaid question; those girls have been with me through thick and thin, through some really big, life-altering events and continue to be a big part of my life today!
…Which is why these bridesmaid prize ribbons are the bee’s knees. Who wouldn’t want to open up a pretty box to find a beautiful ribbon with their name?! I recently created these prize ribbons for a Seattle Bride Magazine feature because: 1.) I am completely into prize ribbons right now and 2.) Letterpress on a silky, blush pink grosgrain ribbon? YES PLEASE!
I love these little, adorable ribbon pins and think they would be too cute for your ladies to proudly wear to your shower, your bachelorette night or even to the rehearsal (believe me, your officiant will thank me since it serves as a really pretty name tag). They can be made for the guys as well!

I thought that I would share our letterpress Christmas cards from this year with you all. I went with a bright cherry red color palette – I am so happy with the way they turned out! They were letterpressed onto thick (I mean really thick) cotton brilliant white cardstock; I then mounted our tree farm photo (taken by our lovely friend Kate Price Photography) onto the card. The envelopes are lined with a fabulous wrapping paper I discovered from Mr. Boddington’s Studio (I pretty much adore all of their products!) and topped off with my calligraphy. I just love so many things about this time of year, but I especially LOVE sending our Christmas greetings and getting cards from all of our loved ones, so fun! Merry Christmas!
