We just couldn't stop oooohing and ahhhing when we say the photos from Liz & Andras's beautiful wedding at The Hay Adams here in Washington, DC. The photography was shot by one of our favorites - Holland Photo Arts. And the coordinating and planning was done by Jamie at Simply Chic Events. Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Baby Announcements au Natural
In honor of a certain someone's first birthday today (we CAN'T WAIT to show you the circus-themed party we've been working on) we are finally sharing the beautiful baby room our dear friend Nancy Margaret prepared when her first born was on the way. Working with neutrals between taupe and dove gray, we letterpressed these oh-so-soft announcements with a chevron pattern frame for them to share the news with their loved ones! 
A Peek Inside - Our Brainstorming Process!
It is certainly an exciting time for Haute Papier as we gear up for the 2012 National Stationery Show. We thought we would show you a teeny tiny bit of how our new product R&D process works. What you see above is a photo of what we call "The Board". Well, it's actually a few boards, but you get the idea. Nothing gets ink until it's decided on and not changing unless absolutely necessary. This, of course, really means that something just doesn't work in the end. Live and learn, right?!? And below, "The Wall". These are the finals and our true inspiration to keep on going until May. Everything is look awesome and we can't wait to launch!
