National Stationery Show: Our friends & neighbors
At this years National Stationery Show, we were honored and excited to participate in a booth community with three of our favorite designers - Egg Press, Hammerpress and EIEIO. Besides the camaraderie, treats and gossip, their work was incredibly inspiring! We especially loved the bus thank you card (above), gift wrap and calender (below) from Egg Press.
Fellow letterpress printers Hammerpress had some fantastic new journals, calenders and cards:
EIEIO had some great new wrapping paper, but unfortunately, we don't have any photos! Check it out here.
Real Wedding: Lily and Andrew
Did you see Lily and Andrew's breathtaking wine country wedding on Style Me Pretty? Can you say gorgeous? We worked with the bride and groom to create all their paper products - from the save the dates to the place cards, and everything in between. Inspired by our Classic Cowboy, Heartland and Biltmore wedding designs, we created a unique suite that fit their rustic chic theme perfectly.
The wedding was a true family affair. Andrew's cousin Jocelyn Arelt was their wedding planner, and Andrew's aunt, Valerie Arelt, did all the flowers!
The wedding and reception took place in the Sonoma Valley, at Lily's parents ranch. It was 106 that day! The ceremony took place in the middle of an oak grove.
Guests enjoyed dinner catered by the Jimtown store in a Zephyr tent.
Lily wore a Monique Lhuillier dress and Andrew donned a Thomas Pink suit.
Many, many congrats to Lily and Andrew!!!
