I actually saved my favorite Delphine post for last…how stinking cute are these coffee stir sticks and customized napkins? LOVE (shouting from the rooftops!).
They sticks can be used for coffee, cocktails or as skewers for olives, cheese, you get the picture. Erika, the mastermind behind all of these gorgeous designs, even thought to stick the shorter ones in cupcakes as a cute topper! You can buy all of these products either by emailing her directly (erika{at}delphinepress.com for custom designs) OR through ForYourParty.com in the FYP Library under the header “Delphine.”
Wedding Invitations by Delphine, II
A few more invitation designs by Delphine to inspire your Monday! This first one is based on that charcoal grey that I love so much, though this time paired with a clean white. The end result is, well, stunning.
I love that there is basically an invitation for every style of wedding…from the clean and modern, to the sweet and feminine, the palettes and the designs offer something for everyone really.
So much more to come!
Wedding Invitations by Delphine
I am sure that most of you know by now, I designed a line of wedding invitations called Abby Jean before launching Style Me Pretty. I stumbled into stationery design after working at this cute little paperie in San Francisco…it was hard not to fall in love with the gorgeous letterpress, the unbelievably exquisite engraved designs, the lush papers, the incredible colors and designs…I could go on and on.
As many of you know, before I wrote Style Me Pretty, I designed a line of invitations called Abby Jean…I sold my little company to the talented girls at Fontaine Maury, though I continue to work really closely with the brand. I am totally in love with their new designs as it seems like our two aesthetics just blend seamlessly.
Well, I am partnering up with Abby Jean once again, to do a HUGE giveaway in honor of Pink Week here on SMP!
To cap off our Pink Week Stationery feature, I wanted to share some HUGE news that we have here at SMP! I’m sure many of you know that I have been a huge Lisa Hoffman of Ceci New York fan, for a very long time. I believe wholeheartedly that her work is some of the best that there is and that she is one of the foremost trendsetters in the world of stationery design…
Well, lucky lucky us…Lisa is joining SMP as a featured writer, with a monthly guest blog all about invitation design, color trends and so much more!! Lisa has designed for the likes of Katherine Heigl, Diddy and Billy Crystal and now, she’s joinig the SMP team to share invitation ideas that are one part inspirational, one part educational. Ideas for REAL BRIDES on real budgets and ideas for those who simply love stationery design…
Pink Stationery by Olive Route
Our next featured invitation designer that is helping us celebrate Pink Week at SMP is Olive Route…this great letterpress studio in Berkeley, California. Olivia, the lead designer, has the best eye for fun, personality filled invitations that really speak to the style of the wedding…
Olivia will work with clients from around the country on a custom piece for your wedding. One that genuinely reflects who you are as a couple. Here are some fun, pink inspired examples from her line…
I have to say, I knew from the minute I received Erich and Debra’s save the date, that this wedding was going to be good. They had a vintage Palm Beach postcard replicated with their save the date printed on the back side. It was absolutely adorable…
When the invitations came, I knew instantly that the wedding would be filled with cute personality and fun little touches. They were designed by ephemera press with pale yellow and slate ink letterpressed on pretty white card stock. Check out the wording, it’s the best part…
Wedding Invitations by Bella Figura
At SMP, we are huge fans of Bella Figura invitations…not only are they environmentally friendly, they are super chic, designed by some of the industry’s most creative artists. So, when they asked me to curate their collection, choosing my favorite pieces, I jumped at the chance!
Definitely check out my favorite Bella Figura invitations when you have a minute, along with the other wonderful bloggers’ picks like Oh Joy! and {frolic!}. You can actually order a sample pack online for $10 to help give you a sense of the quality and beauty of each piece, with 100% of that price going towards the Conservation Fund.
Wedding Invitations by Copper Willow
A few weeks ago, the girls at Copper Willow sent me the most beautiful wedding invitation samples…simple, unfussy designs letterpressed on beautiful cotton papers. It’s amazing to me how far wedding invitations have come and Copper Willow is no different. Their style is organic, but incredibly chic. It’s approachable, but luxurious.
Copper Willow is a completely eco-friendly letterpress studio specializing in calligraphy, unique designs, custom illustrations, hand made and green papers. They will happily create something completely couture for you, based on your colors, design sense and overall wedding style.
Speaking of wedding stationery, I am so excited to introduce you guys to Smock…a brand new line of sustainable letterpress, recently launched at the National Stationery Show. Designed by Amy Graham Stigler who also founded Snow & Graham (a company that I have loved since the moment I saw their work, nearly 5 years ago), the invitations are pretty and sophisticated and yet, they are totally eco-chic. Love that.
In a nutshell, Smock designs are letterpressed sustainably on bamboo paper…they are the first print shop in the U.S. to print on a luxury bamboo paper, developing the process with a historic paper mill in Europe. Here is how the girls at Smock put it…
Bridesmaid Gifts by Inkbox Design Boutique
Check out the great letterpress note cards, bridesmaids t-shirts and hoodies that Lisa of Inkbox Design Boutique has created…SUCH a great gift for your favorite girls!
Here is a little tidbit from Lisa about her new collection…
After being a bride myself and searching everywhere for (for lack of a better word) ‘non-cheesy’ bridal party gifts—–I quickly realized that they did not exist! I started with what seemed natural for me and designed T-Shirts for Miss Bride, Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid with a sophisticated, fashion forward look——-and a cheeky attitude. I also used the softest, most comfortable, flattering tees I could find. Because this is a gift item and I absolutely LOVE Packaging Design, this product wouldn’t be complete without beautiful, chic girly packaging! These are carried in boutiques, as well as sold on my website.
Save the Dates by Hello! Lucky
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Since we’ve had such a nice time with our TWO weeks of Unique Weddings, it seemed almost sad to just start the day with a regular post. Instead, I figured we could all use a little contest pick-me-up!!
The OH-SO-TALENTED girls over at Hello! Lucky are giving away 100 letterpress Save the Date cards to one lucky Style Me Pretty reader! Pretty good contest, isn’t it?
Wedding Stationery by Cotton Idea Studio
Thank you so much to Mindy for sharing the last two days of gorgeous weddings with us! As an invitation designer, with Laguna Beach’s cutest paper boutique, Mindy has a knack for all things beautiful. And her online shop is no different!
Every bride knows that writing pretty thank you notes are a must…which is why I love having a set of my own personalized stationery. With all of the showers and gifts that you will be getting, customized note cards rank among the top wedding must-haves. If you have a set of stationery that you love, chance are, you’ll be a much happier thank-you-note-writing fool…
Wedding Invitations by Oblation Papers
Green is in people. It seems that all elements of design, from high end interiors to wedding styling, is moving towards a cleaner, more environmentally sound approach. And, with designers now making it so easy to go green without sacrificing style, why NOT incorporate eco-chic elements into your wedding.
Oblation Papers & Press has been a long time love of mine. If you’ve ever seen their work in person, you know how luxurious the papers are, how gorgeous the letterpress work is and how absolutely delightful their designs are…
Wedding Invitations by Bella Figura
Andrea, over at Bella Figura, emailed me images of their new letterpressed invitations and I must say…they are absolutely beautiful!
Bella Figura has a handful of new designs, all of which are equally lovely. The colors that they chose are just perfect…not too bright, and yet not too subtle. Perfect for the modern bride. They have more designs online so definitely check them out when you have some time!
