3-color ceremony invitation. 3-color reception invitation. 2-color RSVP card. 2015 This couple got married in California, but really loved New Orleans. They wanted their invitations to include oak trees, the fleur-de-lis motif and the colors green, purple and gold. The green color was printed from hand-carved linoleum blocks, and the purple text and black hand-drawn illustrations were printed from polymer plates. The gold backing paper is Stardream—it has a shimmer to it.

4-color invitation. 1-color recipe card. 1-color seed packet. 1-color coaster. Digitally printed map/directions card and RSVP postcard. 2015 This couple got married in the bride's grandparent's gazebo, and the color swashes came from the family's collection of vintage dinnerware, which was used at the reception. Seed packets and coasters were given as favors. Recipe cards were filled out by family members so that the new couple had a collection of heirloom recipes.

1-color announcement. 1-color blessings card. 2015 This couple had a very detailed idea already set to go. They used a local offset printer to create the front sides, while I set the type and printed it on the back. The blessings card had three different fronts, all watercolor paintings created by the bride.

Two 3-color invitations. 2014 The couple lived in the U.S., they were getting married in Greece, and had family in Brazil. The design mimicked an invitation by Bespoke Letterpress, and was printed in English and Portuguese.

2-color invitation, RSVP card, info card, menu and favor coasters, all with rounded corners and gold painted edges. Lined envelopes. 2014 This wedding wasn't even real! The whole thing was a staged photo shoot that I was invited to be a part of. Photos from the day should be on my blog soon!

5-color wedding invitation. 2-color RSVP card. 2012 This couple chose to have flowers from their wedding on their invitation. They paired bright summer flowers with dark lilies from a local grower and redwood sprigs.

3-color wedding invitation. 3-color RSVP card. 1-color outer envelope. 2012 The theme of this wedding was simple rustic elegance. Grey wood grain, yellow frame and dark purple text to match the envelopes.

1-color wedding invitation,  invitation cover, information card, RSVP card. 2009 The bride's aunt designed this set so that she could paint with watercolors on each of the invitations.

1-color save the date. 3-color wedding invitation. 2006 A simple invitation for a fall wedding.

3-color wedding invitation, RSVP card. 2006 This couple was married at a French café, and they wanted to see that vibe in their invitations. I drew inspiration from the Paris Metro signs as well as other Art Nouveau sources. The colors were reflected in the bridesmaids' dresses and bouquets.

1-color wedding invitation. 2006 This couple was married in San Francisco. The moon image was based on a pendant that the groom gave to the bride. The invitation was printed with metallic gold ink, which has just a hint of sparkle to it when turned different directions in the light.

3-color save the date. 2-color wedding invitation, RSVP card. 2006 The save-the-date was a 2-color linoleum block cut illustration of the Carson Mansion in Eureka, CA and the type was handset in lead. The invitations and response cards were printed from photopolymer plates, reflecting beloved trees from the bride's and groom's hometowns.

2-color wedding invitation. 2-color RSVP card. 2-color info card. 2006 The bride and groom wanted a wedding suite that reflected the simple beauty of the redwoods.

1-color wedding invitation. 2005 The beautiful die-cut cards were brought to me by the bride. She had purchased several boxes at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's gift shop. The type was set by hand, and printed very carefully on the pre-cut, pre-folded cards.

2-color invitation card. 1-color wedding invitation.  2005 The bride designed this lovely suite. The invitation was mounted inside the folded card with satin ribbon corners.

2-color cover illustration, wedding invitation, send-off brunch card.  1-color map card, directions card, RSVP card. 2005 This suite was printed entirely by photopolymer plates, with illustrations, a map and hand lettering on almost every piece.

14-color wedding ceremony invitation. 10-color wedding reception invitation. 2-color RSVP postcard. 1-color information card and favor card. Digitally-printed map/directions sheet. 2005 These were my own wedding invitations! I had to think about what would I do... the sky's the limit! I went nuts with the number of colors and linoleum block cuts and was very happy with the outcome.
