We love letterpress

Thanks to Tracy and Brendan for the great brief! We love how these invitations came out. Letterpress adds a touch of classic timelessness to your invitations and...well, we just love it!

Top Billing Magazine

Gizelle and Neil got married in Knysna earlier this year. Their wedding coordinator, Marius Barnard of Weddings by Marius, got us on board to conceptualise and design their bold and vibrant stationery. The colours, black with lime, set the tone for a classic look with a modern twist. The stationery included printed napkins, perspex table numbers, vinyl stickers and laser cut stationery. This wedding was featured in Top Billing Magazine - well done Marius and thank you. x

White and Bright

Marcel from Designs by Marcel approached us a couple of months ago and asked if we would like to get involved in a shoot that he was organising themed 'White and Bright' for Your Wedding Day Magazine. Of course, we jumped at the chance and had so much fun designing and creating menus, table numbers, gift boxes, cootie catches and a seating plan in the form of bunting flags. Great inspiration for a fun summer wedding!

Guestbooks

We are thrilled to introduce our brand new range of quality guestbooks. Each book is handmade to your exact requirements. Available in a wide variety of colours, you have the option of a leather, suede or fabric finish and your guestbook can also be personalised by having your names and your wedding date embossed onto the cover.

These books are a must have and will be a beautiful keepsake of your special day for years to come.

Feel free to contact us for further details.

My Day Shoot with Absolute Weddings

The theme was Glamorous Gold and Purple. Karla Oettler of Absolute Weddings, being the super creative, out of the box thinker that she is coordinated this beautiful shoot at the Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street. This has to be one of the most popular shoots we have ever done with the phone ringing off the hook as soon as the magazines hit the shelves. Thanks Karla, we love working with you! x

It's all in the detail

Laser cut wedding invitations have never been so sought after. We are able to cut absolutely any design out of just about any material. Why not incorporate your monogram into a beautiful pattern to give it that personal touch.

Marguerite & Tom

We just LOVED working on this wedding! Maggie and Tom exchanged vows ealier this year and we were proud to be asked by Hannes of Wedding Concepts to design their stationery for them. I had to share these few photos with you all. It was difficult to narrow it down so for more visit capclassique's blog where this unbelievable wedding was featured.

Lara's Designs featured in Wedding Album Magazine

We loved designing this stationery for the latest edition of Wedding Album Magazine. Kate from Wedding Concepts contacted us with the brief and of course we jumped at the chance to be featured in this amazing magazine and obviously to be associated with Wedding Concepts is always a great honour!

Nubian Bride Shoot

We were approached by THE creative genius of the Garden Route, Marius Barnard of Weddings by Marius, to design a range of stationery for an exciting new magazine which aims to celebrate African bridal beauty! The Magazine is called Nubian Bride and hit the shelves this month.

Vintage Guest Book with Gold Foiling

We have just finished creating this completely customised, handcrafted guestbook for a wedding taking place this weekend in East London. The stationery is being sent to the bride tomorrow and we can't wait to hear her response!

Happy Father's Day

Here are two Father's Day cards for you to print and make yourself. The first card design would need to be fed though the printer twice, once to print the cover and a second time to print the inside of the card. The second design is a straight forward print and fold card. Enjoy!

Hot off the Press

We are having loads of fun with our new hot foiling machine! Take a look at this gorgeous invite we have just finished designing for an upcoming summer wedding.
