Spectacular wedding stationery, wedding invitations, and save the day cards from Officina Briani
Yesterday my daughter and I met with Brian Allen at the Officina Briani letterpress studio in Raleigh NC. Brian is a very intelligent and very patient man; we spent more than an hour looking through his samples, picking colors and typefaces for my daughter’s wedding invitations, and he has a wonderful sense of what will look great.
Letterpress in my opinion is one of the wedding luxuries that’s absolutely worth the money – it isn’t often in this day and age that you can hold such a lovely, handmade article in your hand. It’s like a gift to everybody who receives it.
Looking at letterpress on the internet does not do it justice. The glory is its texture and the way the deeply indented, crisp-edged letters catch light and shadow; the gorgeous colors on the thick, textured paper…
I truly believe in supporting local artists and Brian is a wonderful guy. My daughter approved a design and color scheme and we can’t wait to see the results…
