We are excited to share that our Cabana invitation suite from our affordable Umi letterpress invitation collection was featured today on The Knot Live! The invitations shown were printed on thick 100% cotton paper stock in Pink Champagne and Midnight Blue inks. The Cabana invitation ensemble is a playful modern design showcasing several coordinating (but not matchy matchy) patterns such as Greek key and chevron. Inspired by our trendsetting invitations, The Knot Live created a gorgeous chevron themed wedding cake, perfect for a modern event. Check out the segment below!

“There is a serene and settled majesty to the coastal scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations”

Letterpress wedding invitation: Inspired by the sumptuous hues and fluidity of a silken ombre scarf fluttering in the wind, the Tide wedding invitation suite hints at an escape from one’s routine and instead find themselves deep in tranquility with whispers of sweet nothings passing by in the soft breeze. The fluidity and color movement subtly transition from a wash of placid green to tranquil blue, communicating a sense of well-being and calm. A thin minimalist typeface accompanies a clean, uncomplicated script with a sophisticated typeface further convey the overall serene nature of the pieces. Perfect for exotic destination weddings or relaxed, low key weddings, this invitation suite is sure to help you and your guests escape to the extraordinary.

We were delighted to see our Woodgrain gift wrap given a whole new life in the November issue of Better Homes and Garden magazine. A vase wrapped in our Woodgrain gift wrap creates the perfect trunk for a “growing” bouquet. Think of all the possibilities for fall or winter weddings! How amazing would it be to fill the head table with faux bois vases for the bridesmaids to preserve their bouquets during the reception?! If you’ve discovered new uses for our gift wrap or other products, please share them with us, we love to hear from our fabulous and creative customers! Happy Holidays!
