    Dream in Letterpress

    Do you dream in letterpress? You know–the wonderful tactile feeling of rubbing your fingers over elegant typography, and the beautiful shadows that are created in the crevices of the letterpressed words. Letterpress is a centuries old printing process that creates an impression (literally) on the paper through a very hands-on procedure.

    I’m excited to announce that Hand-Painted Weddings is now offering an upgrade option for our Signature Invitations. For an additional $350, you can add a 1-color letterpress impression to your 100 invitation/reply card order. This means that your text will all be 1-color and have a beautiful indentation (or debossing) technique applied to it. The tactile quality of letterpress and the artistry of watercolor are a gorgeous match because they both incorporate a hands-on, unique aesthetic. Letterpress in itself is an art form and I’m so excited to offer this new technique to our clients!

    A letterpress drop down option will be available on all Signature Invitation listings on the website soon. Can’t wait? Simply contact me and we’ll discuss further.

    Wedding Invitations and Fashion Styling

    Wedding Invites Fashion Styling by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Last week’s invitation styling inspired (what I believe to be) a very interesting new way to photograph the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations. The idea is too connect fashion and invitation by styling the photographs with myself holding an Invitation in front of outfits that relate in design. This is a beautiful extension to the very human element of watercolors, by having a person holding the invitation.

    What sets Hand-Painted Weddings apart is the very human element that watercolor brings to your wedding. It isn’t digitized, just as the wedding that follows the invitation isn’t digitized or cookie cutter. A Hand-Painted Wedding is unique, human, and, of course, hand-painted.
