nic and pip's positano wedding

Our very dear friends Nic and Pip were recently married in magical Positano (insert deep sigh of envy here), and we had the pleasure of designing and printing their beautiful flat-print wedding invitations and reply cards. Featuring a custom-designed lemon tree and printed in striking cobalt blue and yellow, Nic and Pip wanted their stationery to reflect the incredible Italian setting.

We were so happy when Nic emailed through these gorgeous photos of their day, along with a very sweet testimonial on what it was like working with us:

"Getting married in Italy was always going to be a challenge, and pulling together each and every detail required patience, perseverance (and the help of some translators!). To our delight and immense gratitude, Sarah and the Simplethings Press team made sure our invitations were on time and perfect. We had a clear idea of what we wanted and on the first go Sarah's concept was EXACTLY what we envisioned - she caught the theme of our wedding far better than we ever hoped. Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding invitations!" ~ Nic & Pip Purdue

Thanks so much Mr and Mrs Purdue! It was such a pleasure to design for such dear friends, and congratulations on pulling off the perfect Positano wedding. We only wish we could have made it over to partake in some limoncello with you! xxx

recent work : christina & rowan

Well, it's been a long time between posts here on the blog, thanks to being busier than ever in the studio the last couple of months. Our dear old press has been cranking out impressions at maximum capacity. But the good news is we will have plenty of gorgeous letterpress projects to show you over the coming months.

Here is just one of the many lovely wedding stationery suites we've had the pleasure of working on recently. Christina and Rowan came to us wanting a custom design with a feel of vintage cigar box artwork, with its flourishes, borders and corner fills. The invitation also needed to be bilingual, in both English and French.

And here's the end result, letterpress-printed in Christina and Rowan's wedding colours of sky blue and navy. We printed the invitation in 2 colour letterpress, and the coordinating reply/wishing well card and thank you card in just 1 colour (a great way to keep costs down when printing letterpress). All items are printed on pillowy-soft, 100% cotton stock in ivory, 300gsm.

We love working on custom designs for such delightful couples! Thanks Christina and Rowan for allowing us to be part of your special day, it was such a pleasure x
