Junebug’s Favorite Sample Pack Designs from Bella Figura Letterpress

July 28, 2008 | editorial team

Bella Figuras letterpress invitation designs have knocked our socks off from the very first moment we held them in our hands. Their papers are unbelievably soft and thick, and their colors and graphics are stunning. Bella Figura is also amazingly dedicated to running an eco-friendly business. Among other things, they use green materials like vegetable-oil based inks and cotton paper made from reclaimed fibers, they donate 1% of their profits to environmental organizations, they participate in carbon offsetting, and they are 100% wind powered. Right on! 

high quality letterpress wedding invitations by Bella Figura

I was recently asked, along with a number of other bloggers, designers and brides, to choose my favorite Bella Figura designs for a sample pack option available on their website. Each set includes a selection of 5 invitations, their ink swatch book, paper samples, and envelope lining colors, all packaged in a keepsake Bella Figura box. The full cost from the sale of the Junebug pack will benefit the National Resource Defense Council and the cost is only $10 between now and August 11th, and $25 after that. If youre considering orderding any of their designs for your wedding, buying a sample pack first is a great way to go!

Wedding color, decor, favor and floral inspiration from Matthew Mead Style

July 21, 2008 | editorial team

The always clever and inventive Matthew Mead has redesigned his website offering more fabulous crafts, collectibles, recipes, favors and entertaining ideas than ever before. Many of the features are only available by becoming a member, but his portfolio alone is worth a visit whether you plan to pay a membership fee or not. The gorgeous colors and sweet details in each photo make them an absolute treat to look at, and the simplicity of his designs really do make them accessible and easy to create no matter what your wedding budget or level of DIY aptitude!  

Matthew Mead wedding color and decor inspiration

I love the pink paper candy favors tied with black and pink striped ribbon in the top row, the clean organic look of his flower arrangements, and his inventive use of purple hues (which inspired the purple winter wedding color palette I made back in December.) For endless inspiration during your own wedding planning, be sure to check out his new site. Thanks Matthew!
