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.

If you are still looking for that ’something blue’, get creative! You aren’t limited to a blue dress tag, or blue undies anymore. Branch out from the norm and still tip your hat to tradition. Look at this gorgeous Amsale gown, that has just enough blue. Gorgeous!
