Wedding Invitations — Hammerpress

With the holidays now behind us, it feels like a good time to start focusing on wedding invitations again.  I’ve had Hammerpress bookmarked for a long, long time, and I couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favorites from their custom letterpress wedding invitations portfolio:

I love Hammerpress’s use of pattern details, from maps to damask, to help the personality of each couple shine through in the invitation.  And as each invitation suite is entirely custom, Hammerpress would be a great option for any couple looking, as Hammerpress says on their website, “for something a bit out of the ordinary for your wedding day.”

Wedding Paper Divas Contest – Winner!

Congratulations to Myisha – the winner of a $100 gift certificate to Wedding Paper Divas!  Here's what Myisha said:

The Delightful Dahlias would be choice. The invites remind me of a warm spring/ summer soiree. The color is lively but not overly bright. Perfect for a small quaint backyard wedding that I want to plan.

Myisha chose the Delightful Dahlias invitation as her favorite design:

Here are some of the other beautiful designs you chose:

Big thanks  to everyone who participated in the contest, and to Wedding Paper Divas for sponsoring the giveaway!

Hable Construction

I love Hable Construction, and I have a particular soft spot for the bead fabric that Lena Corwin used to cover her entire couch:

…but since Hable Construction fabrics are only available to the trade, that usually means that I’m admiring from a distance or have to find my Hable fix in smaller doses.  For the past few days, I’ve been drooling over Hable’s paper goods section, particularly the line of travel journals, desk agendas, pocket calendars, and letterpress pocket notebooks:

Oooh, how I would love to add a few of these lovelies to my notebook collection…
