Farfalla Wedding

Wedding loveliness, randomness and fun, from letterpress lovers…

It can’t be done, can it? April 4, 2008

Colors are everywhere this year. I feel like it’s half of what we post about. We recently got a request for a 5-color letterpress invitation. While almost unheard of (and typically extremely expensive) we got to to work and came up with a more reasonable alternative using some swatches, some photoshop, a little magic and a lot of help from printer friends .

Moroccan Tile – full color

We opted for full color offset printing, followed by black letterpress for the text and crosshair type bars around each tiles. We were a little unsure of how the two would work together, but the bride was completely excited, so we want ahead. The result is an almost stained glass effect! It’s truly stunning. Each colored tile looks like a little piece of glass, surrounded by the recessed areas around the tiles, it truly make each color pop off the paper.

Names/Locations/Even fonts have been changed to protect the innocent.

Be adventurous! There are no rules when it comes to your wedding colors, and choosing wedding colors. If you like purple and your spouse-to-be loves orange… do it. I promise that not one single guest will balk at your selections. Be wild, be a little crazy…. there can only be so many weddings in the world that are aqua, peach, blush or other pastel.

Your invitations are a great way to incorporate all your colors into one medium. Test colors, play with them, see how they look together. You just might find that you like orange and fuchsia together.

Wedding of the Week : Deliciously Urban March 3, 2008

This week: Deliciously Urban. What does “deliciously urban” mean you say? It’s a little phrase that I take credit for creating during my years in NYC; it refers to anything that is reflective of being chic, urban, and having classically clean design… and it is so dripping with big-city stylings that you can just taste it.urban.png urban2.pngurban.jpgblacktie.jpgurban2.jpgurban3.jpg
