NSS – Booth round-up, part one

So today I'm diving right into larger recaps of some exhibitor booths at the NSS. Most exhibitors did a wonderful job of putting together booths that not only showcased amazing paper goods (my favorite part, of course), but truly represented their unique design approach.

First up, Kansas City-based Hammerpress, whose wedding invitations, note cards, and art prints are always among my list of favorites:

{the feather print above was one of my favorite pieces from the entire show!}

Next up, San Francisco-based Yellow Owl Workshop. This husband + wife design team are incredibly nice and have a ridiculously cool invitation portfolio (one of which you might have seen floating around the wedding blogs over the past few days). Plus, they met while going to school in my home base of DC!

{I loved this display of regionally-themed postcards – what a wonderful idea for Save the Date cards!}

YellowOwlWorkshop22

Two Trick Pony also had an amazing booth display – and gorgeous stationery and wedding invitations to match!

Much more to come soon!

Wedding Invitations â€” Good onÂ Paper

I’m taking a quick break from NSS coverage to share a few new and absolutely gorgeous invitations and business cards from the always fabulous Lisa Wong Jackson of Good on Paper.Â I’m a huge fan of Lisa’s work, and so when she was kind enough to send over a few photos of recent additions to her custom portfolio, I just couldn’t wait to share them here with you:

{I love the pops of red ink in the suite above}

{wood veneer invitations – so lovely!}

{love the mix of fonts + pattern!}

{love this invitation for a 60th birthday party!}

{gorgeous violet + chocolate brown letterpress invitations}

{lovely business cards – I’m loving the vertical layout!}

If you haven’t already, you absolutely must head over to the Good on Paper custom portfolio to check out more of Lisa’s beautiful work.Â You can also visit the Good on Paper shop right here to check out the selection of note cards, small journals, office stationery, and lots more.

I’ll be back a bit later with more from the NSS – including photos from day #3 and more in-depth features on some of my favorite booths!
