Somehow this week turned into a Vintage Wedding week. I hope everyone’s enjoying it!

I’m a sucker for letterpress, and when I saw these invitations by Spark Stationary, I just had to share them! This is everything that I would have wanted in my invitation, and more!

So, with an ordering deadline approaching, I began my search. After hours of searching for local stationary stores, I came up empty handed. Then, I clicked on a link for Emily Ley Paper, a local stationary designer. I instantly fell in love with the idea of having a PERSON design …
