This beautiful wedding stationery was designed by the bride, Michelle Butindaro. The printing was done here at Flying Rabbit Press; the text in black, and the accents in a subtle iridescent purple. You may have seen the photo of it in progress in the last post.
After the printing and trimming were completed, Michelle adhered each piece to iridescent backing paper, and mounted the invitations, themselves, to the inside of these lovely, cloth covered folios. The reception card, hotel card, rsvp card, and return envelope all tuck in nicely beneath the ribbon on the right hand side of the folio.
No detail was left unconsidered. The monogram on the front of the folio is a mere one inch square, but the invitations would be lacking with out it.
Okay, sure, letterpress probably already fell into some version of the “folk” genre, but Gillian Welch has made it official again on Tuesday when she released her new album, The Harrow & The Harvest. The beautiful cover illustration by John Dyer Baizley was letterpress printed at Aardvark Letterpress in California.
Taking it one step further, she’s inviting fans to stain the cd cover themselves with coffee. Awesome.
