New Letterpress Designs for 2012!

We are excited to be one of only a few stationers to carry this highly sought after line that never ceases to amaze. From the addition of foil stamping, crystal application, laser cutting and luxury mailers to Spark’s already impressive repertoire – brides (and us!) are in awe! Every detail is attended to and with the incorporation of luxurious artisan materials from around the world.  These bold designs are sure to impress even the finest stationery guru. Martha Stewart Weddings has one of their design ensembles based off of a champagne bottle featured on their blog. Bubbly anyone?

c9 wedding: Steph & John at Silverado Resort, Napa

If there was one wedding that we could do over and over again, it would be this one! The Napa weather was absolutely perfect for Stephanie and John who wanted a destination wedding at the Silervado Resort & Spa that brought their favorite things together: family, friends and wine.

Starting with her colors of aubergine which is an eggplant and champagne, we worked together to design a custom invitation (which has been featured nationally – yea!) to set the tone for the wedding.  The bride wore an Amsale Blue Collection gown which was drop dead gorgeous. The ceremony was held outside on the golf course. Stephanie arrived in style in a vintage 1947 Packard and walked down the aisle to ‘In My Life’ accompanied by a soloist and quartet. After the ceremony, an a cappella group led the guests to the cocktail hour.

The reception was in the charmingly beautiful Grove which was filled with aubergine covered tables and varying orchid and hydrangea centerpieces. Guests were treated to amazing food and wine, and a dance-till-you-drop 80’s band that rocked all night long (forgive the 80’s reference).

Our vendor team: The Silverado Resort & Spa, Brittany Hanson with BLR Photography (thank you for the AMAZING photos), Fleurs de France, Golden Gate Music- quartet), Sugar Rush – band, Chair Covers & Linens, Perfect endings- cake and Classic Convertible Wine Tours.
