Black & White Beauty

We've been just bursting at the seams to share this one with you, but had to wait since it is featured in this month's Brides! It was so much fun to create this suite for Cate & Tim - they just asked for sophisticated, classic contemporary and then let us take it away!  The invites are engraved in white on the black paper for the front and the back is a reverse, with white paper and their monogram engraved in black.  We love the custom envelope liners that incorporate the starburst design from their monogram.  Stay tuned for pictures of the creative details put together for their reception by EVOKE!  

A Tinkerbell 2 Birthday!

We recently celebrated little Etta's 2nd birthday with a fabulous Tinkerbell 2 birthday party!  Designed with a two year old in mind we focused on whimsical glitz, pops of color, and a beautiful vintage 'E' design.  All this mixed to create the perfect look for our true fairy princess who, as you can see, thrilled guests by making a special appearance!

Real Wedding: Brandi & Justin

We had so much fun working with Brandi & Justin to create their invitation suite.  We are so into foil stamping on invites - especially for brides and grooms who love silver and gold since it just doesn't have the same pop in letterpress!  Brandi's boxes were calligraphed by Elizabeth Porcher Jones - aren't they just stunning?!  Congrats to the happy couple! s We had so much fun working with Brandi & Justin

Thanks to Steven Canning Photography for the beautiful photos!

Hot off the Press: Silver Foil Holiday Suite

Nothing like saving the best for last!  I've been waiting for weeks to share this last holiday card suite with you.  We created this for one of Haute Papier's dearest friends and long time client, Nancy Margaret.  She wanted a big "wow" factor this year since the birth of her and her husband's first child happened in 2011 and she had the most adorable photograph to share with friends and family.  We still can't figure out how they got all three dogs and the baby to sit still for this great shot by Jennifer Anderson Photography (once our neighbor in Leesburg!).  The cards were printed on Crane's 220# lettra (so luxurious!) with red letterpress and silver foil stamping on both the front and back.  The envelopes were the perfect shimmery red with silver foiled snowflakes falling on both the flap and front of the envelope... and we couldn't have a suite this great without custom stamps as a final touch!  Thank you to The Adlers for giving us the creative liberty, as always,  to put this wintery delight together for you!
