Letterpress Your Love

Historically, letterpress was used primarily as an alternative to the highly laborious type form known as calligraphy. Today, you often see it paired with calligraphy to create intricate wedding stationary designs that are created with true skill and attention to detail.

Recently we came across a Baton Rouge artist, Kathryn Hunter, who creates absolutely gorgeous {and affordable!} letterpress stationary for wedding couples. Her original designs incorporate a wide variety of stylized birds and other romantic elements in candy-colored hues. Her designs are pressed on a Chandler and Price “Old Series” platen letterpress from 1904. We love her vibrant story and her style and we are excited to spread the word about her elegant craft! You can find Kathryn’s custom wedding design work atBlackbird Letterpress and the cards shown above on Etsy.
