Amethyst & Gold foil business cards for Parisi Events

Robert Parisi of Parisi Events picked up his business cards less than 15 minutes ago, but we can't wait another second to share them!!  These ultra-thick cards feature gold foil stamping on amethyst paper, duplexed to white 100% cotton paper with amethyst and black letterpress inks - completed with metallic gold edge paint.  Rob chose a unique square shape for his business cards - and these will definitely leave an impression on everyone who receives one.

Parisi Events is a wedding, mitzvah, birthday, and party entertainment company from Jupiter.  We love them because of the care they put into every event, and their dedication to making each client's event special and unique.  If you're in need of a DJ, lighting, entertainment or planning services, definitely check them out at www.parisievents.com.

Wedding Weekend: Charlette & Robert and Tracey & Justin

Happy wedding weekend to Charlette & Robert and Tracey & Justin! We created everything from save the dates to programs and favor tags for Charlette's wedding.  Their wedding stationery suite was totally custom designed by us here at The Windmill, and printed by Page Stationery.  Our favorite piece is their save the date, which includes a timeline of their relationship - we just adore this idea!

Tracey and Justin had a destination wedding in Longboat Key, Florida, so they wanted to incorporate a beachside feel to their invitations while still keeping them very elegant.  They chose gold foil for their invitations and gold letterpress for the rest of the pieces, printed on cotton paper by Haute Papier.  We love how each piece of their invitation suite included a bit of their monogram in some way.

Wedding Weekend: Monica & Guido and Christina & Nolan

Happy wedding weekend to Monica & Guido and Christina & Nolan! Monica and Guido came to us with an idea for their wedding invitations, and we created a custom text-based design for them.  It was foil stamped in Champagne on white cotton paper (with a reply card in Gold letterpress), printed by Haute Papier.

Christina and Nolan had this amazing idea for ceremony programs that fold into paper airplanes, for their adventure-themed wedding.  We designed a compass-based wedding logo for their day-of pieces, along with matching table cards, a photo booth sign, and a seating chart.

Real Wedding: Gillian + Shane

We are back from an amazing trip to Maine and around New York State, and we cannot wait to share some photos we received while we were out of town!  Gillian and her mother came to us with a vision of letterpress, lace and elegance.  They chose one of our Bella Figura designs (letterpress and foil stamped on gorgeous, thick 100% cotton paper), and customized the layout, fonts, and colors to create the perfect invitation for their Fort Lauderdale beachside wedding.  Check out the photos below by the incredible Lena Isely.

We're on instagram!

Invitation of the day: Traditional Palm

Invitation of the day: this customization of the Traditional Palm design by Bella Figura (available here at The Windmill). We love the formal look and elegance the fonts bring to this beach-themed design.

Custom letterpress housewarming coasters

These amazing letterpress coasters we recently designed for a housewarming put all of our past parties to shame!  Printed through Haute Papier (one of our favorite vendors), the double-sided coasters feature a hand-drawn image of their new home on the front, and the actual blueprint of the home on the back.  Feeling inspired to create custom coasters for your next event?  Make an appointment today!

Beautiful foil stamped business cards on black paper

We were so honored to work with Stan of Bashert Jewelry recently on his business cards.  Stan bases each of his custom jewelry designs on the personal love story of the couple, so the uniqueness of the black paper fit his branding perfectly, while the rose gold foil stamping encapsulates the romance of his jewelry.  The simplicity, elegance, and subtle luxury of the finished business cards emulate Bashert Jewelry perfectly.

From Stan, regarding the inspiration behind his jewelry design and business:  My inspiration was not something I have studied or observed. My signature style was not in the certifications I got on the wall. It was the spark in the eyes of the guy that walked in the studio one day. It was in his quiet, trembling voice, revealing in shy, half-sentences his Love Story to me. Complete stranger.  I realized - sitting across, with nervous anticipation, my own Muse was staring at me.  It was The Love Story!  In Metal and Stones, I give each Love Story its own expression. From the pencil sketch to the final product in the box, I enjoy the whole process. I am addicted to the challenge each story presents. With every couple I meet, I see new forms, new colors and new design blossoming. I draw my energy from the interaction with the phenomenon “Two-In-Love”. I realize, the jewelry, I create, is meant to be a Love Promise. It is a vow with no measure of time. It is eternity captured in a moment.
