These invitations were designed by friend of the bride, Stephanie Icken (who doesn’t have her website up yet, but I’d be happy to get you in touch with her!). Both Stephanie and Sharon were a joy to work with, and these invitations were nothing, if not fun to print.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves…

These invitations were designed by Jane Branton for her friend Lisa’s wedding. The perfect mix of cute and fun- these were certainly a pleasure to print.
All pieces printed on 110# Lettra.

Kristen and Ryan were married New Year’s Eve 2010, on a freakishly warm day in Cleveland, Ohio. They were surrounded by an immense group of family and friends who happily celebrated their marriage and rang in the new year.

This bride saw the calligraphy and letterpress combination (via Neither Snow’s blog) on Rachel’s invitations and fell in love. She got into contact with Mara for the calligraphy, and the Curious & Company team for the design; the rest is history…
Letterpress has its strengths and weaknesses, and there are rules to follow in order for a design to print successfully. The folks at Curious are well aware, and I think it is pretty evident in this design.
1 color invitation, reply, and reception cards printed on 110# Lettra.
For more letterpress wedding invites by Curious and Company, take a look at the Claremont Collection! And of course, keep up with the steady hand of Neither Snow on her blog! Oh, and in case you missed them, check out her recently printed business cards!

This wedding suite was designed by the lovely ladies at Chick Invitations. Both the reply and rsvp cards were printed on 110# Pearl Lettra, while the invite was printed on 220#. All were die cut to add the rounded corners.
These little guys almost didn’t make it to the final design. I was so glad that they did, I just love them. They printed so perfectly.

The mother of this particular bride owns the fabulous interior design firm Environments HC. If you take a look at her portfolio, it is no surprise that her daughter chose these simple yet beautiful invitations designed by Curious & Co.
Both the invitation and reply (post) card were printed on 220# Pearl Lettra.

A while back I showed you the invitations for Mary and Kevin’s wedding. Here are a few photos of the day courtesy of Finest Moment Photograpy:
The wedding party was a large one! Mary decided to go with two different bridesmaid dresses to liven things up a bit:
Wedding programs- not letterpress printed! But they were designed to go along with their invitations:
The place cards were made from letterpress printed coasters attached to colored papers that were used throughout the reception hall. Each name and table number was handwritten.
Cake decorated with the same flowers used in the bridesmaid bouquets (made by Kevin’s sisters- they turned out beautifully).
Mary wasn’t crazy about having live flowers on the tables for the reception. Domestic Construction came up with these instead (hand cut, hand painted, hand assembled):
The head table:
The dance floor was never empty:
Oh, that canopy… Made from hand cut circles, attached one by one:
I have never had so much fun at a wedding. Cousins, aunts, uncles and siblings spent a week together preparing everything from the programs to the center pieces. It is very rare to come by that sort of quality time anymore, since many of us are living our lives in a place other than home. I can’t wait for the next one.

Missy of Missy Photography was kind enough to send me a cd of all of the images she took at the Outside the Flowerbox photoshoot done for Brooklyn Bride. Domestic Construction partnered with Poppies and Posies to create a wedding straight out of the hardware store. I made a few menus and place cards that went along with the theme, and wanted to show a few close ups that you may not have seen in the original post.
Stuart & Welch prepared a beautiful menu for the day and Lovely Bride provided the beautiful dress!
Everyone did an amazing job, can’t wait for the next one!

Here is a hint of what is to come from the Claremont Collection- a line of wedding invitations by Curious & Company; Philadelphia’s newest design firm.
Letterpress printing is not an inexpensive process, but there are certainly ways to make it work for every budget. For this job only the invitation was letterpress printed (2 colors on 100% cotton ecru paper) and the reply card and envelopes were printed digitally.
Visit the bride’s post on Wedding Bee for more photos and information.
