I am SO excited to share this LBBer spotlight with y'all today! First off, because Mark + Stefanie, the designer couple behind Montreal-based Tartine Paperie are THE sweetest and not to mention, pretty darn talented folks. My crush on these two is further proven by their love for letterpress, travel + amazing food, all of which inspire their elegant Wedding Collection designs.

When La Vie le Gage Couture Events Wedding Planning said she had put together a Tuscan inspired shoot at one of my favorite venues - Villa Parker - my interest was peaked. And when she started listing off the phenomenal LBBers who helped put this shoot together - Anna Bé...
I love paper. I love the pretty little details, the beautiful typography and the way a gorgeous letterpress invitation feels against your fingertips. I love receiving that very first Save-the-Date, the oh-so-stunning invite and finally seeing those pretty, pretty menus at the reception. Yep... I am obsessed. So, when it comes to finding swoon-worthy invitations, well... it's no surprise that I am head over heels for Foglio Press.
Saving the Date is often your first official wedding task, and therefore, pretty darn exciting. You get to talk paper with your favorite designer, dream about your big day style, and plan the very first part of your wedding people will get to see.

I once heard that a bride is not to do any manual labor while her mehndi designs are still visible on her hands or feet. Whether this is true or not, I can't really say - but I can say that it would definitely make for a great tradition! Along with the tradition, I find the intricate patterns SO beautiful - which is just one of the many reasons I love when it is incorporated in weddings like this gorgeous Canadian soiree, planned by...
It's no secret that we L.O.V.E ourselves some pretty, pretty paper here at SMP, because, well. We SOOOO do. Letterpress, embossed, digital - you name it and we're HEAD OVER HEELS for all things wedding stationery.

Can you even wrap your head around the fact that it is the first weekend of the 2012? We have some oh so pretty things in store for you this year, and first thing on the agenda is to introduce the newest member of the SMP Texas family - the fabulous Paperee.
