wedding letterpress invitations created by Tara Bliven of Ephemera Letterpress

Here at Junebug we're longtime fans of the work of invitation designer Tara Bliven of Ephemera Letterpress. She's been a Junebug member since the get-go and we've loved seeing all the creativity that has poured from her design shop over the years! In her studio she prints every piece of letterpress herself using a beloved hand-cranked Vandercook (circa 1966) or pedal-operated Chandler & Price (circa 1912). You can see a bit of this behind-the-scenes action in the images above. So cool! Tara is also super skilled in illustration and calligraphy, and the writing on her blog makes us giggle and smile every time we read it. Thanks Tara! Check out a few sets of her gorgeous wedding invitation designs that are just perfect for spring!

I am working with Tara on our wedding invites right now and she is just SO FUN to work with!  We received our final proof just last week and are absolutely thrilled with the results!  Can't wait until our guests receive these pretty little packages in the mail :)

These are such beautiful invitations.  Even the simplest invites that are letterpressed are exquisite.
