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!

Welcome to the week everyone, it’s giveaway day! Today we’re thrilled to tell you about the amazing dress collection from Kara Janx, and to give away one of her beautiful designs to a lucky Junebug reader! Kara was a finalist on season 2 of Project Runway (love that show!) and since then she’s continued to create fresh, modern, feminine collections that would be perfect for bridesmaids, engagement parties, bridal showers, wedding rehearsal dinners, or even as alternative wedding dresses. I adore the bold colors and playful spirit of each Kara Janx piece, and you know I have already made my very own shopping wish-list of all the dresses I am dying to wear!

To enter to win one of Kara’s dresses, take a look at www.KaraJanx.com and then leave a comment here letting us know which dress you love the most, and how you or your bridesmaids would wear it. We’ll take entries all week long and choose a winner at random on Monday, March 29th. The fashion fun doesn’t stop there though, thanks to the generosity of Kara herself, all Junebug readers get to take 25% off any online purchases through Monday the 29th as well. Nice! Just use the code spring25 at checkout.

Good luck everyone, and have fun! I look forward to hearing about your faves!
