Fluorescent Festivities | Neon Nuptials

These might be my favorite client-designed invitations this year. The bride, Nisha, designed three different invites for her various California wedding festivities.

All three have a common feel — employing the same border art, black ink, and copperplate type. But Nisha used different title art for each and we printed them with three different fluorescent letterpress inks — neon orange, deep magenta, a bright pink. We finished each set with three different edge paints — electric blue, highlighter yellow, and metallic silver.

Finally, we used the neon orange ink to print the flap of the fluorescent white envelope.

And what the hell, how about a few more photos...

Letterpress Invites in the Santa Cruz Mountains

This is one of our favorite client-designed wedding sets of the summer. Elaine and Joseph's invites mimic the lush forest that surrounded their venue in the Santa Cruz Mountains, complete with ferns, pinecones, and slugs.

We mixed a custom dilution of our Light Celadon ink to let the deep impression of the artwork really stand out.
