hip hip hooray!


Friends: it's true, the wedding line is done and the wedding line site is live as of this afternoon! I'm so excited. I hope you love it.
I am incredibly fortunate to have had the ultra-talented photographer, Max Wanger, shoot the new wedding line for me as part of an exchange. {I'll be printing his save the dates and invitations!} Take a look at his stunning photography on the new website – plus a few sneak peeks right here. Thanks, Max: you're the best.



Satsuma Press Wedding Line

I fancy good, simple design that is pleasing to the eye and mind;
refreshing color and lush paper; plenty of open space and quiet, graceful beauty.

I believe in fine craftsmanship.
I believe that finding joy in the work you do is essential.
I believe that letterpress printing is a thing of beauty.

The Satsuma Press Wedding Line is a collection of designs that are modern yet enduring,
inspired by vintage botanical drawings, organic shapes and jewel-toned hues.



I've been working on this for many months now, so I'm over the moon to have the new wedding line site live as of this afternoon. A million thanks to my web programmer, Jonathan Howard, for putting up with my many {many!!} emails these last few days – and for ticking things off the last minute list with such efficiency and grace. {Want to check out a super-cool website Jonathan also did? Go here – amazing website, amazing furniture!}

There will be more details to come, more about the process of designing and printing samples for a wedding line ... and more, too, about the new, fine-tuned Satsuma Press Calling Cards – available right here, plus on the {somewhat} updated main site .. and the new online shop via Big Cartel. But for now, a much needed rest. I have a cold to get over and a FIFTH birthday to celebrate with a certain little boy.

{Does this post look a little funny? I think it might – with the fonts changing size throughout? But, well, I'm signing off anyway and getting that rest. I'll fix it tomorrow or the next day! Lovely weekend wishes to you all.}

It looks really beautiful. Congratulations on putting it all out there! Such a big deal, I'm sure.

Congratulations on getting your new site up, it's beautiful. Must feel great after so much hard work!

How cool that you got to do a trade for your photography. One thought though, why are there no clear shots where you can see an invitation, or invitation suite in it's entity, without blur? While I appreciate the gorgeous, artful photography, if I was shopping for invitations on your site I would find it frustrating that the only way to do this would be by viewing a pdf of a digital mock up rather than the real thing.

Love the layout of the site, it really is quite beautiful, Lynn!

I really like your style, with the artwork. I'm curious - what sort of designs are you working on? I've been looking for invitations with alstromeria, similar to your style.
