Hippie at heart

Butterfly love....

2012-02-22T12:12:00.000+11:00

With Danny & Jeneya's invitation suite we wanted to keep with their style, so we mixed fonts throughout with a metallic grey ink for both the wording and boarder and of course added a sweet little butterfly! :)

Oh and make sure you have a look at their amazing wedding venue... Dunbar House

Whitemoss

2012-02-16T16:42:00.000+11:00

So... we're back on track with our blogs! Sorry its been so long! :)

We just printed business cards for Brooke @ Whitemoss - after visiting her amazing new shop we just couldn't resist sharing some pics with you...
If you're in the Melbourne CBD - make sure you pop by!

répondez s'il vous plaît

2012-01-02T11:53:00.001+11:00

RSVP's are one of the most important things in the lead up to your wedding day. We suggest you set the response date 3 weeks before your wedding day. This will give you time to finalise the number of guests and seating arrangements as well as allow you time to make phone calls to those who are late in responding.

RSVP cards can be a great compliment to your wedding invitation and can cover off some important information such as; dietary requirements, transportation or even a way to get your guests to choose some of their fave songs to be included in the reception playlist.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-12-31T14:07:00.001+11:00

Have a fab new years eve!! Stay safe and enjoy an awesome night with friends, family and hopefully lots of fireworks!! :)

Save The Date

2011-12-29T11:23:00.001+11:00

We love the idea of sending save the date cards - you can do this just because or more often they are used to let your out of town guests know to make travel and accommodation arrangements.

Save the date cards are also used to let guests know of your plans for a destination wedding - if this is the case, we recommend you send these out 6 months to a year in advance.

We love MONOGRAM!

2011-12-27T11:18:00.002+11:00

So beautiful......!!!

Peace, Love and Pud....

2011-12-25T10:00:00.004+11:00

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas filled with family, friends, laughter, peace, love and lots of pud!

We're off enjoying the holidays too... we'll be back in the office after Jan 3rd 2012!

♥ Real Wedding - Paul and Tash ♥

2011-12-22T12:05:00.001+11:00

Wedding Style Guide loved Tash and Paul's wedding as much as we did!! We took a few of these pics from their online wedding guide.. STUNNING!!!

All the wedding bits were designed and supplied to us by Paul and we printed it on a recycled kraft board using the letterpress...

Enjoy the pics and make sure you check out the site...!!!

Jane and Marcus

2011-12-20T11:43:00.000+11:00

Jane and Marcus decided on a classic style for their wedding invitation suite. They hand wrote their guests names at the top of the invitation to give it a personal touch.

Pink polka dots accented the front of their RSVP card and were also used as the liner for their envelopes.

We love how sweet and simple this is.. :)

We love Stef's photography work and we loved designing her business cards and gift vouchers...

L.O.V.E

2011-11-17T15:31:00.000+11:00

How amazing is the colour combination??? We wanted to make these feel luxurious, so chose white cotton paper then printed over it with a beautiful ivory pattern.

To add a modern twist to this traditional invitation we printed in aubergine with highlights of bright pink..

Our fave detail was using bright pink accent letters through the wedding invitation and the menu to spell L.O.V.E - it was such a romantic touch... :)

Sally and James

2011-11-10T10:53:00.000+11:00

Stunning is the only way to describe this suite of wedding invitations. The black and white theme paired with the traditional font and simple wording made this so striking. To complement the classic look we blind printed the boarder and used a thin pinstripe for the envelope liner.

Joanne and Peter

2011-11-04T16:15:00.000+11:00

We had such a great time designing and printing these wedding bits.. Joanne and Peter wanted to have a relaxed feel about the invites with a touch of the Australian bush! :)

We hand wrote "to the soon to be" above Mr and Mrs on the RSVP envelope - we thought it was super cute!!! :)

Blog Crush

2011-11-03T14:28:00.001+11:00

Alana and Nick

2011-10-26T12:59:00.001+11:00

We loved the simplicity of this wedding invitation suite and used a fun accent of handwriting to add some spunk!

We used a heavy pinstripe for the envelope liners and to contrast a fine hand drawn love heart to tie in all the wedding day bits.

Our fave part from this wedding suite was adding the words "here comes the bride" on the inside of the service book and "introducing Mr & Mrs.." on the back cover - this showed the playful side of Alana and Nick.

Shhh.... It's a surprise!

2011-10-21T14:40:00.002+11:00

We loved creating these surprise 70th birthday invites.. The birthday party was a luncheon held at the 'Glenafton' farm house. To create the country feel we printed these invitations on 390gsm coaster board with rustic colours and a brand new font that really captured the country feel of the party.

She said yes!

2011-07-04T08:00:00.002+10:00

He popped the question and she said YES! Congrats Abby and Michael! Wanting to achieve a bit of a different look for these we created this engagement invite with a fun mix of fonts, then letterpress printed them onto thick black card using an opaque white ink.

Super cute wedding vids

2011-06-28T13:52:00.000+10:00

Photographers Sophia Bayly and Simon Moore are the cleaver duo that make up
Bayly & Moore based in Auckland, NZ. Ummmm...how awesome are their stop motion wedding vids? A nice fun, fresh take on documenting your wedding, I love that they capture the feel of the entire day. Check out more of their work at www.baylymoore.com

Engagement Postcard

2011-06-20T09:30:00.002+10:00

A little bit obsessed with mustard and rust colours at the moment. Love it paired with pastels or a bright pop of colour like this hot purple. We designed this fun engagement invite as a post card and letterpress printed it on to beer matt (the sort of card that's used for drink coasters). Love how it turned out...

A Bookcase Rearrange

2011-03-13T13:15:00.000+11:00

I have been known to waste a bit of time arranging (and rearranging) our bookshelf at home so this awesome stop motion video by Sean Ohlenkamp and Lisa Blonder Ohlenkamp really appealed to me.

Love, Love, Love it! ☮

Introducing HEIDI...

2010-10-19T09:17:00.000+11:00

We are so excited for another beautiful letterpress to call our studio home. Built in Germany, she is a well travelled press and has come all the way from the states, via Brisbane (which is where we found her) to get delivered to our studio in little old Geelong last week. A little bit younger than Mike, she has all the same beautiful characteristic and a few extra little touches. All presses need a name, and it doesn't look like she's got one so we've named her Heidi.

We can't wait to get her printing, although she needs a new motor and a bit of TLC we are sure she'll be up and running and printing Christmas cards very shortly!

The countdown is on!

2010-06-11T15:57:00.000+10:00

Hi Bec here!

After six long months of designing and creating all of my Letterpress pieces my web site is almost LIVE!

My husband (Jason) and I have been working our little butts off trying to get our on-line 'Greeting Card', 'Personal Stationery' and 'Wedding Invitations' store up and running.

After discovering Letterpress printing nearly three years ago, I finally surrendered to this beautiful printing form and have made it my profession, and am so excited to be sharing my designs with the world.

As a graphic designer I have struggled to find work that has inspired me, that was until I purchased my first 'Heidelberg' Letterpress. Since having this majestic machine my life has changed. I now have two 'Heidelberg's' and cannot wait to get them cranking. Our site will be on-line in early July, I look forward to sharing my adventures with you all.

Peace Out! ☮
