With a custom floral border that beautifully complemented the couple’s invitation suite, these menus were an elegant addition to their On The Day stationery suite.

Printed on the gorgeous Colorplan Vellum, these personalised menus act as a great alternative to traditional place cards, helping guests to easily find their seats.

A gorgeous stationery suite fit for a spectacular destination wedding 🤍

Kelly and Simon's luxurious invitations were letterpress printed onto a thick handmade paper from Feathers and Stone, while the design featured a traditional layout with classic serif fonts and the couple’s monogram positioned at the top of the invitation.

The digitally printed details and RSVP were designed in a matching style, with the details card featuring a 4 day timeline with the events leading up to and following the wedding!

Kelly had commissioned illustrator The card that Kate made to create a series of stunning watercolour illustrations of the venue Craggy Range Winery, the chapel and the impressive mountain ranges surrounding the Hawkes Bay region. We printed these in full colour along the bottom of the details and RSVP cards, adding that extra special personal touch to the suite 👌

We mix all our inks in-house, by hand and sight! We can match to any Pantone colour… or bridesmaid dress fabric… or ribbon… or flowers… or whatever else you can probably think of! 🎨😂 When it comes to colour matching, Neisha has some legendary talent.

All our couples are welcomed into the studio on print day to view their final colour choice and get involved in the letterpress process!!

You even get to put your own ink in the press!

It’s just a fun activity we like to do with our clients to make this process of creating your invitations more personal, more memorable, and ultimately more special!👌

Here’s a gorgeous rust-coloured ink for Georgia and Will’s invitations to admire and inspire. We can’t wait to share the finished result with you! 😍😍

So how does letterpress printing work… and what do we mean when we talk about a letterpress plate?! 🤔

It’s amazing how many of our clients visit our studio and realise that we can take a modern design concept and turn it into a tangible item through a more traditional process on our vintage presses…

We’ve lost count of how many times people have asked if we still use wood blocks or hand-set lead type in our work!

The letterpress plate is one of the most essential parts of the letterpress printing process — it’s how the ink is transferred from the rollers on our press and onto the invitation paper! With the artwork having a raised profile, it’s also what creates the beautiful tactile impression deep into the paper that letterpress is known for! 🙌

Most of our plates, like the one seen in this photo, are made from a light-sensitive photopolymer plastic. These days, we start out with your design on the computer and your artwork is processed into film transparencies before being transferred onto the plate material using UV light exposure. A little like old-school photography!

We also use magnesium metal plates which are specially engraved on a CNC machine for our hot foil printing, embossing or work that requires more fine detail and strength. They look a little prettier being shiny silver, but are also more expensive to make.

We almost forgot to mention the best bit…

THESE PLATES ARE YOURS TO KEEP!!! 🤩

We won’t ever reuse your plates for another wedding, so you get to keep them once we've finished printing your order! They make a great keepsake to accompany your invites in your wedding album, or look great framed!

Pictured is our lovely bride Sofija’s letterpress plate, inked up and ready to print. We can’t wait to share how this gorgeous set turned out! 😍👌

Details, details, details! Where to begin with this stunning invitation for Lachlan and Lauren?!🤩

🖤 Elegant black letterpress on our bright white Gmund Paper Max White 450gsm cotton paper
🖤 A stunning blind impression for the custom illustration of Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm
🖤 A modern, minimal invitation design and layout
🖤 Crisp edge painting in black which frames all the details and adds that little finishing touch to the invitation

All of these elements come together to create this impressive invitation… to this day it remains one of our favourites!

The cutest print apprentice! 🥰 💛

Little Hallie helping Mum mixing inks and sweeping the studio floor. 🤗 At this age cleaning is a fun game... here’s hoping she’ll still think the same when she’s older!

We thought Louise and Cameron’s invitation deserved its own post. How stunning is the illustration of Customs House Brisbane that we drew for this lovely couple's big day!!

We also drew the iconic Cathedral of St Stephen, Brisbane for the map on their Details Card… also very deserving of its own post so we’ll share that soon!

Letterpressed in gold ink, this classic design will never grow old on us 😍

A beautiful Christmas spent on an island! 🏝️🎄Neisha couldn’t help herself, styling the table and making handmade bonbons on Christmas Eve with new friends at 🤩 These red checker tea towels from the kitchen drawer and tropical florals from the local market just pulled the whole thing together!

In the meantime, from our team to yours, we hope you’re all enjoying a wonderfully festive day with all of your favourite people! 🥰❤️

Absolutely gorgeous table styling for Adriana & David’s @‌Gabbinbar Wedding 🍽️ 💕 We printed the table numbers and signage for this one!

22/11/2023

We loved printing Ellie and James’ wedding stationery, with the talented bride designing the Save the Date, Invitation and Thank You card herself! 👏😍

Yes… sometimes we print other people's artwork 😉 and we were able to bring Ellie’s ideas to life, letterpressing her Save the Date and Invitation in a crisp charcoal ink on our luxuriously thick Gmund Paper 600gsm Cotton followed by a digitally printed Thank You Card on 300gsm Superfine Eggshell.

Such a simple and elegant design.

18/11/2023

It continues to amazes us that so many couples request this classic design ✨ But we know that simple and sweet will never date.

Here’s a close up of Prue and Dylan’s timeless wedding invitation 😍

Combining traditional typesetting styles using a graceful script font to highlight their names with a classic serif for the wedding details… the finishing touch is a border to encapsulate the details of their special day and bring all those words together in perfect harmony 👌

What’s new about this?… Well, this is the first time we have letterpressed it in green ink!

Some more gorgeous photos from this luxe table setting for Jo & Sam 😍

Celebrating love and nature 🌿 A country inspired Illustration for Eloise and David’s wedding stationery ✨

Eloise and David share a special love for the Stanthorpe region, which set the tone for their gorgeous double sided letterpress wedding invitation.

We designed a custom scene for the couple, capturing the essence of their reception venue Diamondvale Estate, Stanthorpe. The illustration pays homage to the region's beauty, adorned with granite boulders that are characteristic of the Granite Belt.

In the horizon, the mountain range of Girraween National Park stands tall, graced by the iconic granite mountain, The Pyramid — the very spot where David chose to propose to Eloise, forever sealing their love story. 💍💕

If a bold and elegant invitation suite with a romantic feel to it is what you have in mind for your own wedding stationery, we’ve got you covered!✨💌

Madison and Cory’s invitation is one to remember with metallic silver ink letterpressed into Spicers Australia Poptix Black 600gsm paper. A digitally printed Finer Details and RSVP card were included in the suite, printed on our @‌Mohawk Via Felt Bright White paper.

The silver bellybands were a charming touch to complete the set; personalised with a beautiful quote and the couples wedding date, adding an extra layer of love 🥰

💕 Congratulations Erin and Justin who tied the knot earlier this year! 💕

We had the honour of designing and printing their wedding invitation suite which featured a landscape invitation letterpressed in sage green ink, with a blind impression of their wedding venue 💒 St Thomas of Villanova Catholic Church, which was illustrated by Erin’s sister. A digitally printed RSVP postcard was also included which guest could send back to the couple in the post.

To tie it all together, personalised swing tags with guest names were wrapped around the suite and placed in a sage green envelope.

Erin and Justin, we wish you a lifetime of happiness, laughter and unforgettable moments together. Cheers to your new chapter! ✨

Hot off the foiler… literally! 🤩 Pictured here with our 1960’s foiling platen is Lesley. It was a delight to have her join us and watch as we foiled her birthday party invitations. She has ⭐️BIG!⭐️ plans for her upcoming 70th, and we can't wait to share the finished birthday announcement!

A little while ago we posted a sneak peak of Madison and Kieran’s invitation. Today, we are excited to unveil their full suite!

Print Day!! 🙌 This time last month we had Eloise and David in our Brisbane studio to witness the printing of their letterpress wedding invitations! 😍 What an exciting moment for the couple with Eloise getting to ink up the press herself with their hand-mixed blue ink. 💙💙 Once the letterpress plate was set and adjustments made, the first print came off the press… this is ALWAYS a pretty special moment in itself! Each of our couples get to keep their first print — It may come out a little imperfect to our eye as a printer, the inking or impression needing a slight tweak, but to the Bride and Groom this first print is still wonderfully perfect and certainly a very special keepsake to take home on print day. Eloise and David, we hope your guests love your invitations as much as we do! . . . #letterpress #letterpressprinting #letterpressinvitations #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #letterpressweddinginvitations #letterpressweddingstationery #brisbaneprinter #traditionalprocess #printday #heiderlberg #heidelbergplaten #blueink
