Libba + Will: Gold letterpress Wedding invitations

I have been dying to share these invitations since we got them back from our amazing letterpress extraordinaire Patrick Masterson! These are our first venture into gold foil letterpress and we are officially obsessed. When we met Libba and Will, Libba knew exactly what she wanted...no guess work for me at all! We designed the custom monogram first, and then a classic invitation design. We also decided to paint the edges of the invitation metallic gold for a little pop! We wrapped the wedding suite with silk antique gold ribbon for the perfect finish. So in love with these, can't get over it.

Lindsay + Jason Wedding Invitations

Remember Lindsay and Jason's Save the date? (I posted it below incase you don't recall!) The big day is this Saturday, and we wanted to share the wedding suite with you! We love Lindsay and Jason and were so honored to design the wedding invitations. Lindsay wanted a gate fold with a matching belly band. And lots of monogram! We are in love with these!

Megan + Braden Save the Dates

Megan asked us to design a save the date based on a design we were using on our Etsy shop for stamps and Christmas cards. She loved the fonts and wreath used in the original design, and wanted it to be translated to a save the date. Honestly, I think the photography and the super cute couple make this card. I'm glad I could pitch in my little part. But honestly, the groom is wearing a plaid blazer in the pic. LOVE IT. Megan requested a matching stamp so they could stamp the return address themselves. They can also use the stamp for all of the couple's future correspondence!

Katelyn & Jay Couples Shower

We were asked to design a couples shower invitation last month for some awesome friends of ours. Working with the bride's color palette, we designed an invitation and a corresponding recipe card for guests and family to fill out (I think this is one of the best ideas!) We loved how these invitations turned out, one of my favorites! This could translate easily into a wedding suite. I just might do it : )

Elizabeth + Eric Save the Dates

We recently designed a save the date for a client who saw paper items in an issue of Celebrate Magazine that I had designed while I was art director. The story in the magazine was a rehearsal dinner, and the menus used this bird motif with a monogram in the center. My client requested that this design be translated to a Save the Date, and I think it worked perfectly!

We found out last week that Empress was featured on Style Me Pretty! We are thrilled!!! We worked with Megan and Britton last year for their October 2012 wedding. The design was classic, elegant, and letterpressed beautifully by Patrick Masterson on ivory with a shade of dove gray ink. We are so happy to share this with you today! See the full feature here!

Alice + Clarence Wedding Day Paper

And here is another July wedding paper package we were able to design for Pineapple Productions! Alice and Clarence wanted clean lines with a touch of fancy...which I love. With a color palette of gray and coral, you can't go wrong! Included in this paper package: long skinny wedding program, welcome notes/itineraries for guests, and a label for favors and sweets!

Whitney + Keegan Wedding Weekend

We teamed up with Pineapple Productions again for an awesome wedding weekend in DC for Whitney and Keegan! Whitney knew she wanted a vintage touch, with corals, gold tones, and ivory. Included in the paper package were postcards designed for out-of-town guests to send home, as well as menus, favor tags, guest box labels, and itineraries for the weekend.
