Hot Off the Press

Hannover invitation

Read with caution: if you’re a party host, bride, event planner, and/or design lover, today’s post is sure to inspire instant obsession.  Austin-based designer Trina Bentley’s new line of letterpressed invitations, The Pattern Press, is full of the modern, feminine-but-not-too-girly invitations that I’m always searching for.  I immediately fell in love with the ones she designed for my recent wedding, and the rest of her luxe collection is completely swoon-inducing.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Owens invitation: the square card and justified typeface give such a modern look.

Audley invitation: The cursive-y font provides a playful twist.

The Pattern Press’ design philosophy states: “We strive to create more than invitations. We aspire to build an entire visual style for your wedding (a brand if you will); starting with a logo and translating the ‘look’ into a number of printed items. We combine logo, typography, patterning, and color into one cohesive and beautiful package.” Such an amazing way to turn a wedding or an event into an extraordinary experience!

Grey invitation: love the clean black & white palette with an unexpected pop of vibrant green.

Pierce invitation: the front feels stylishly old-school, while the back has a bit of a Marrakech vibe.

Simmons invitation: super similar to the invites designed for my wedding, I’m partial to the elegant simplicity of these.

The Pattern Press offers an entire suite of printed items for its designs so that an event maintains a consistent feel from beginning to end.  Programs, place cards, menus, reply cards, and thank-you notes can be coordinated to infuse each element with unforgettable style.
