Sometimes Old Machines Work Best
Today’s Wedding Invitations
With Yesteryears Letterpresses

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Did you ever have something that was obviously much older than the newer models but you refused to get rid of because it worked so well? Some things were built in an age when craftsmanship and a long life were valued over inexpensive, up to date, expendable products.

Not that I do not love technology and the newest gadgets as much as the next person, but sometimes it’s hard to improve upon something that works well. Take printing for example. Computers, software programs, digital film and more efficient technologies in general have changed many aspects of the process. Most of the time these improvements are welcomed and greatly increase the realm of possibilities for presses and what they can do.

However, some things have not changed, and for good reason.

Letterpresses still leave the finished product with an appearance and texture unmatchable by modern technologies. Using machines built over 50 years ago, these Original Heidelberg letterpresses generate an extra special character with each impression that adds an authentic value and quality to each invitation. In short, Heidelberg letterpresses simply cannot be beat.

When thinking about your wedding, why settle for anything less than handcrafted and custom letterpress invitation sets?

Let Your Wedding Location Guide Your Invitation Design

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Every bride has a reason for choosing the location for their wedding. For some brides it is a dream since childhood and for others it is a place with a wonderful memory. I choose my wedding location for both reasons, it was a place close to my heart and holds so many memories. Since choosing the location for your wedding is so important, why not use the location of the wedding in the design for your letterpress wedding invitation set? These are my favorite invitations that were designed with location in mind:
