Our Ceremony Programs


by

As we anxiously await our wedding photos I thought I might blog about our wedding programs.  This was the trickiest piece of our entire suite for me to conceptualize and design.  Wedding programs can be executed so many different ways that even I found the options to be overwhelming and I print wedding related stationery […] Read more…

Dot your “I”s


by

For the fashionista finds this week I think this photo from the Vogue Italia shoot by Tim Walker called “A Play of Dots” is incredibly apt.  Don’t you just want to take this room and make an invitation suite out of it?  Well, I do!  I don’t even remember where I came across this image, […] Read more…

Alex’s Wedding Present #2: Nerd Poetry


by

For the second piece of Alex’s wedding present I decided to letterpress a nerd poem, since we are both major nerds deep down inside. For all the people that are not graphic designers or web geeks #FF0000 is the equivalent in computer terms for red and #0000FF is blue. Damask patterns are really popular with […] Read more…

Alex’s Wedding Present #1: Shakespearean Poetry


by

I wanted to show all of you what I made for Alex as her wedding gift. I’m a pretty ambitious person and once I get an idea I can’t help but take it all the way, pretty much no matter what challenges crop up. I spent two days from sun-up to sun-down pressing her gift, […] Read more…

Pour Chaque Jour


by

I am a bit of a Francophile, having fallen in love with the language and culture over eight years of French instruction.  Madly.  My wonderful bridal shower (Thak you Liz) was a French theme with lovely pink stiripes, polka dots, black feathers and subtle eiffel towers thrown in.  It was absolute perfection and I loved […] Read more…

Catie and Ryan: Simple Script Invitation Suite


by

Catie and Ryan’s suite was one of the first jobs we ever printed on Roxy, I think the third to be really precise.  We had a much smaller press before that, which wasn’t giving us the depth of impression we needed so it we ended up upgrading pretty quickly, which was one of the best […] Read more…

Elise and Brandon: Mapping the Invitation


by

We love maps over here.  I rave about them as much as possible because they really do personalize your suite and as Martha has told us a million times, it is all about details and personality!  Maps are just one detail with TONS of personality.  This is why I was SO excited when Elise contacted […] Read more…

Amy and Luke: Pretty Peony Invitation Suite


by

Amy and Luke were in a bit of a rush when they found us and needed their invitations within about two weeks.  This was right before we got married so we were already in a crunch with the other orders we had going on but we love a challenge and Amy’s vision for her suite […] Read more…

Great Gloves


by

I think a new installment for the AP blog-wise is to have a weekly fashion spotlight.  I am a clotheshorse- I love beautiful colors, fabrics and prints and I love shopping for them and to curb my addiction I think the only way is to let it all out through writing.  Lucky Craig that I […] Read more…

Twig Letterpress Coasters


by

Alex and I got married less than two weeks ago. I can’t believe I get to call her my wife now, it’s super exciting. We are still waiting on the professional pictures and when we get them I’m sure she will be posting away. The week right before the wedding was super stressful and we […] Read more…
