Lauren in Wedding Goodness

Happy New Year all!!! I hope your break was as relaxing as mine was. As I was getting ready to head back to work this morning, it totally hit me: I am getting married THIS YEAR. Not in the distant future, not in a year from now...in nine months. Holy Guacamole! So exciting! But it also means the pressure is on and I've got to get in gear. On that note, I have started designing our save the dates and invitations-by far one of my fave things about wedding planning is designing the invites!! We have decided to go with Letterpress- a. because its environmentally friendly (as is our venue-see previous post!) and b. because I am a graphic design snob who has always wanted to do a letterpress project, but has never gotten to! So, as I dive into designing, please enjoy some of my favorite letterpress wedding invites for inspiration:

1. Bella Figura: An eco-friendly, wind powered press out of New York. Gorgeous designs!


2. Hello Lucky! Founded in 2003 by talented sisters Eunice and Sabrina Moyle, Hello Lucky! is a specialty letterpress printer and design studio that creates gorgeous wedding invitations and other paper goods. No wonder I love them-one of their clients is Anthropologie! Check out some of their gorgeous work below:
