Old World Charm

more detailing was desired for this set of wedding stationery we produced.

in this set we provided custom-sized envelopes lined with a complementing shade of green paper. as soon as i get my sample envelope photographed, i'll post it up for a closer view. a bespoke hand-drawn map is also inserted along with the invitation announcements.

following tradition, a sheet of tissue paper is also placed between the contents of the invitation. this was practiced long ago to prevent ink smearing onto other contents or the envelope itself. as printing techniques advanced making ink dry almost instantly, technically, there is no need for this but nevertheless we think maintaining such tradition adds a touch of old world charm ;)

to top it off, names and mailing addresses of each guests were individually printed on the envelope.

and of course with multiple contents to insert into your envelope, we'll print you a list of what you ordered!

Deep Lavender with a Touch of Midas

this invitation suite comprises of a map on heavy text-weight vellum, church invitation and dinner reception card together in a custom hand made gold leaf envelope. the text itself serves to be the main design and thus a choice of bold fonts and metallic ink.

Cookie-ing

raya cookies for this year's celebrations. our household ain't one of the exciting ones with multi colored and multi shaped creations! but they taste awesome. (i shall not be modest here).

then my standard coffee snaps! this year i have decided to substitute the coffee bean topping for almonds to prevent wastage. most people have eaten them without the bean which was probably too bitter for their tastebuds. i liked it though...;(

the end result: almost amos...voila!
