Our beautiful new stationery company website is LIVE!

Welcome to the new cherishpaperie.com!

As a wedding stationery design studio, we love to design pretty paper things. But we found that what we also needed was a beautiful wedding company website that was up-to-date with current trends and technologies. If you follow us on Twitter you've probably seen that we've been getting ready to launch the new and improved CherishPaperie.com for quite some time. Well, we're excited to announce that our hard work has paid off and the big day is finally here! Here are some of the new features we're excited about:

What started as a logo redesign in the summer of 2012 turned into a full-scale company rebrand. We're immensely proud of how far we've come and we hope you get a chance to take a look around, browse our galleries, and enjoy the ease of navigating our new site! Certain parts of our website may still be under construction and we are still adding photos to the galleries. Please let us know if you saw a product in our old gallery, but can't find the item in our new galleries yet, and we will be sure to add it as quickly as possible for you! And of course, if you catch any bugs or have any suggestions, we'd love for you to let us know!

How to Make Your Invitation Stand Out

Danielle — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 12:24:33 +0000

You wouldn't want your invitation to be lost in the junk mail, would you? Or tossed aside and not looked at? Well we decided to share a few ways on how to make your invitations stand out! With these simple tips everyone will want to come to your event and it'll be memorable from the time they receive their invite.

How to Make Your Invitation Stand Out

1. Find the Right Fonts

Font is everything. And if you use the wrong one (times new-roman or arial anyone?) your invite won't catch any eyes. Try and use a few different fonts, but limit yourself to 2-4 and don't go too crazy. We love to use fonts that express what the event will be. If it's a classic, elegant event, use a font that matches the tone of the party. Or if it's a fun, funky party, go for more unique fonts that stand out.

2. Choose a Stock

From color to texture to size, the stock you use to print your invitations on will be the main thing your guests are holding.

Your invitation can be printed on silk, wood, paper, vellum, plastic. If you choose cardstock you don't have to stick with the standard cardstock. It can be smooth, or all sorts of different textures or patterns. You can also choose different colors. Have fun with texture and try to mix things up.

3. Think Outside the Box

Think outside the box... or the rectangle for that matter. Consider using a different shape for your invitations. Or go for a whole different look all together. Having a destination wedding? Consider creating a passport invitation. Love photography? Consider a series of photos in a book instead of one piece of paper. There are many ways to make your invitations fit your personality.

4. Add Some Glitz and Glamour

Embellish your invitations with ribbon, buckles, rhinestones, and more. Make a statement and create beautiful stationery that matches you and your fiance's personalities. Consider delivering deliver these beautiful wedding keepsakes in an embroidered silk pouch or cushioned, gate-fold box. Check out our couture line for more options.

5. Color, Color, Color

What better way to make a statement than with color! By simply including your wedding colors in your invitations you can make your wedding stationery pop. Whether you subtly use color as the backdrop for your invitations in a pattern or as the main selection for your invitation, have fun with it! Tie together alternate colors in other ways. Different color envelope, different color font.

What unique ideas do you love to see on invitations?

Starfish Wedding Invitations {Beach Wedding Inspiration}

Danielle — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 05:57:41 +0000

Planning your early summer nuptials? We love this nautical themed starfish wedding invitation with rich hues of coral and green. The simple textured detail of the starfish adds a playful touch to the invitation wording and the different fonts play with one another on the page. And it doesn't end with the invitation; the theme continues onto the envelope and the other stationery in the invitation suite.

Rock n’ Roll Teal and Grey {Wedding Invitation Ideas and Inspiration}

Danielle — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:26:26 +0000

An invitation can say a lot about a couple’s personality. It also sets the tone for the wedding festivities. So when choosing a design for your invitations make sure that your personality shows through! Don’t be afraid to make crazy requests and find a design you love. These rock and roll invitations scream fun! But they are also gorgeous. The teal and grey work beautifully together and the artwork behind the font is not distracting. It compliments the look of the invitation. By playing with fonts and colors you can create an invitation that sticks out in your guests minds. They will remember the details and be excited to find out what else you have in store for them! Your stationery designer loves creating and is inspired by many images they see. If you have a Pinterest, Loverly or Bridal Style board, start pinning what inspires you. And send that information along to your designer so that they can take your ideas and create something that you love. When we have a client that shares their ideas with us, no matter how outlandish they might sound, it’s much easier to create stationery that the client loves.

Tangerine and Grey Florals {Wedding Invitation Ideas & Inspiration}

Danielle — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 06:40:38 +0000

Tangerine and grey are two of my favorite colors this season. Something about the smokiness of the grey and the brightness of the tangerine catches the eye. The two shades were made for each other and are perfect for a late summer or fall wedding. The addition of florals to this color combo add an elegance. The different sizes and shapes of the flowers flow so well together and give the invitation stationery texture. And how perfect are the flamingos? They seem to make this chic invitation warm and inviting. The love birds are sure to have a special day planned!

Choosing the Right Shade {Tips and Tricks}

Danielle — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 04:45:18 +0000

Picking the perfect colors for a wedding can be tough work. There are so many things to consider when bringing an idea together and taking it from imagination to reality. One major thing to consider when choosing the right shade or color to go with your wedding is that not all seafoam greens look the same.

Where to go

There are many brides who see a color they love, ask what the name of it is, and then order that color without making sure it matches the Pantone Matching System. For our stationery customers we highly recommend reviewing our ink color chart before making their final decision. Here are some great places to check out color swatches to find your true color:

What to look out for

Be aware that some computer monitors will show a slight variation between the color you see on the screen and the true color. So if you have any doubts about selecting the true color feel free to ask your stationery designer to match your Pantone color with a swatch book to the print out if they are printing it. Or just ask for a sample to be sent to you. We want to be sure that it’s the color you absolutely love! And we love when our brides send us in a color card or fabric swatch to make sure that the color we print is a great choice. Even paint chip samples from the hardware store work great!

Great tips and solutions

We, and most other stationery designers, are happy to send cardstock color swatch chips before our brides order, and always like to send a full printed mockup so the customer can see exactly what their product will look like in person, before all of them are printed and shipped. I definitely wouldn’t risk buying in bulk without asking or getting a sample, because the colors on digital images can show up so much more differently than in print, so I wouldn’t want our brides to do this either! Check out blogs like The Perfect Palette or this article on Up Market to help choose the perfect shade for your big day. While these sites might not always be geared towards brides, they are geared towards creating the perfect color palatte and can come in handy when choosing the right shade or color.
