I love all of the brides and grooms I work with. I love to hear their stories - how they met, the inspiration for their wedding invitations, and so on. But this wedding stationery suite… I am in love. In love with not only the design, but the sweet story that inspired the design. Lorena, the bride, came to me with a very clear vision and a sketch of what she wanted. At the top of the invitation she wanted two birds perched on a branch of flowers with only the bottom part of their bodies showing and at the bottom, a smaller bird. The two birds at the top represented Lorena & Colter. The bottom bird represented their son. It is a deeply personal design and will truly set the tone for their wedding this summer.
The invitations were letterpress printed on flourescent white lettra paper with rich, chocolate brown and orange inks. The rsvp was a postcard with their return address printed on the back. The invitations and rsvps were tucked into a matching white envelope. And yes, indeed, that was some tight registration with the little bird feet and branch. I am quite proud!
I really love that little bird perched on the stump. I think he will make an appearance on some everyday stationery in my shop very soon.

About Me: I am the designer & printer behind Parrott Design Studio, specializing in custom letterpress and screen printed wedding and event invitations, stationery, and paper goods. With a background in non-profit marketing & art history, I began the studio in 2006 in my small apartment in Providence, RI. Since then I have moved to a studio built my fiancé, acquired a Golding Jobber letterpress, & have been happily printing ever since. I grew up in Portland, Maine, and I have always had an affinity for the ocean, mountains, birds, gardening, & the simple life. When I am not printing, I can be found somewhere outside with my fiancé & playful pup.
The beautiful orange ink was the first thing I noticed, but then you mentioned the bird on the stump — he (she?) is so cute!
