Describe your brand

We are most recognized for surprising our clients with unique and truly beautiful invitations. Our invitation concepts unfold and evolve through each component making the entire invitation suite a symphony of images and colors. Our design background along with our love for letterpress printing allows us to craft the most harmonious images, exceptional typography and unusual palettes - always offering a twist on the modern with a bit of victorian inspiration.

What are your sources of design inspiration?

We find our inspiration from any and all printed matter from italian candy wrappers, soap labels, vintage seed packets to old typography books. We also enjoy the many patterns and colors of vintage textile designs on fabric, wallpaper and french ribbons; even from the sweetest embroidery stitching on a dainty handkerchief.

What is one thing that no one knows about you?

Well, I think everyone knows by now that Mary Beth is a hair twister and Amy is a hypochondriac. Other than that, we love to snack on Tazo Earl Grey Tea with honey and expensive chocolates and biscuits (a.k.a. cookies) to really keep our creative juices flowing!!!
