emma & leon wedding stationery

We have recently finished the production of a gorgeous wedding stationery set for Emma & Leon who are to be wed on the 28th of December this year. Their wedding is to be located in the gorgeous French Provincial grounds of Deux Belettes, in the Bryon Bay hinterland. We used this beautiful location to design Emma & Leon's simple and elegant, yet undeniably french wedding stationery.

Printed on ivory cotton stocks, the strong use of negative white space allows the full impact of gorgeous typography utilising a combination of upper case, lower case and script. The botanical illustration is printed in a subtle ivory ink and was inspired by the garden surrounds of the wedding location.

As their wedding is a destination wedding they had a large amount of information to provide for their guests. To keep costs down and avoid having to print a large quantity of individual letterpress cards, we designed the invitation as a single outer card and then letterpressed a booklet cover. Inserts were then digitally printed and the whole lot bound with machine stitching. Beautifully paired together and inserted into our ivory cotton envelopes this invitation is certainly the sort to be kept and treasured!

a sneak peak!

Christmas has hit our studio this week! Charlie has been busy in the production side of things churning over a a whole new range of letterpress Christmas cards. Printed on a new gorgeous natural stock we will have the full collection packaged and ready to spread some Christmas cheer at this weekends Finders Keepers markets in Brisbane!

oh dear

We seem to be suffering from a terribly painful online problem here in the studio. Our new internet provider is letting us down time and time again, our apologies to our clients and friends, we will be able to email you back soon. In the mean time, Ruby sends her love from the studio and she also hopes to be back online soon as she is missing you all somewhat terribly.

back in the studio

hello hello! we are back in the studio again after our little trip down to South Australia. I had a lovely birthday exploring the Adelaide hills, cheese tasting, chocolate tasting and indulging in some high tea. We also had a fabulous time at the wedding we attended, we haven't danced that much in such a long time!

Whilst down South way I feel in love with this bush above. Apparently its called a Snow Ball Bush or Tree. I would love to know more about this gorgeous creature and if it will grow up here in Queensland? Apparently its a bit of a "Grandma plant" but that quite suits my nanna tendencies.... Sitting next to my Hydrangeas I think it would be right at home?

missing in action

Sweet friends it might be a bit quiet from us for a few days. We have lost our internet connection here in the studio. Sigh. The biggest pain ever. Our iphones are wonderful and have saved the day - however there is only so much we can do with them so we hope to be back online properly soon.

Later this week we are also headed interstate to attend a wedding and a little wee break to celebrate my quiet event of turning one year older.

We will be back up online next week - we have some gorgeous new wedding sets to showcase, and the most amazing Sunshine Coast wedding we have been dying to share with you!

See you again soon!
