It’s this lovely lady’s birthday today and she’s as bright and sunny and colorful as this awesome photo (thanks @sasithonphoto)! She comes to us from Pennsylvania, which I hold dear since I attended college there once upon a time, and I’m so glad she made her way to our little studio. More importantly though, she’s a big @bachelorabc fan, which is a huge 👍🏻 in my book 😆😬😅 - hey we all need ways to unwind! Anyway, happiest birthday to a beautifully talented artist and friend! 💕
Love this one from last year with @allwhowanderevents! The calligraphy by @marykatemoon has so much energy and is perfect for this outdoor wedding! When we meet with our clients for their design meeting, we talk a lot about fonts and how the right ones will help set the tone for the level of formality of the wedding. I think that’s super important to get right and whether you know a serif from a sans serif from a slab serif, we’ll talk you through it to get it just right!

Anyone off to somewhere tropical for the long weekend? 🏝 It may not look like it, but this Save the Date is working hard! Those two tone leaves are no easy feat for letterpress printing - anything that lines up two colors together that closely in so many areas takes a master at registration as each paper has to go through two passes on the press - one for each color. Then there’s the last pass in gold foil. Three passes in two different types of presses before we’re even close to getting these in your hands! Any designers out there reading this and want to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes to make beautiful printed pieces? I’d love to help by sharing more about that here if you’re interested! 🙋🏻‍♀️ #fourteenfortyny #savethedate #tropical #invite #invitation #californiawedding #wedding #weddinginvite #custominvitations #letterpress Planning and Event Design @roandcoevents Stationery @fourteen_forty
Happy birthday to our sweet Annabelle! She came to our studio at just the right time, in one of those meant-to-be ways. Annabelle and I actually met many years ago, and then life happened... and now about seven years later, she is one of our all-star designers and I am so thankful for her! She’s also a fellow mom (yes, she does it all) which, of course, I love 💕! Annabelle - thank you for lending your talents to 1440 - grateful from the bottom of my heart! 📷 @sasithonphoto 💓
With engagement season winding down (yes there is such a thing!) @real_simple wrote a review super helpful article that quotes some of my favorite planners @jovemeyer @angweddingsny @tinseldesignnyc on the nine things engaged couples should do when planning their wedding. My fav piece of advice: “Hire vendors you respect and whose work you adore, so you can trust them to do their job. Wedding planning is only as stressful as you allow it to be. If you love and trust your team, then it can be a fun and exciting process!" —Jove Meyer Amen to that. Our best collaborations (like the one pictured) happen when the couple trusts their team to lead, advise, and execute! Alison was not only super sweet to work with, but after giving us her overall vision, she allowed us the freedom to run with it! And she also hired an amazing team - @jovemeyer @sasithonphoto @putnamflowers to name a few! Don’t make this a stressful time. Hire people you feel comfortable with and truly trust so that you cant enjoy this period in your life. Leave the details to the pros! #fourteenfortny #wedding #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #weddingplanning #nycwedding
Zoom in to see the gorgeous texture on these handmade envelopes by @share.studios. We love finding the most unique papers out there and this one is really special!

New year, new goals, new plans. I love the beginning of the year, even if the clean slate feeling is really just something we tell ourselves in order to erase the mistakes of the previous year. 🤔😂 Either way, so pumped to jump into it with these amazing gals. We’re ready for all you newly engaged couples!! 📷 @sasithonphoto 👌🏻
Sharing another favorite from this year - check our stories to see how our stationery coordinated perfectly with the bridal party 💓 along with other weddings from 2018. So thankful for clients like this wonderful couple - genuine and sincerely sweet, and so obviously in love. Their wedding was effortlessly elegant and full of warmth, the photos say it all! We loved telling their story and can’t wait to tell more in 2019!

As the year comes to a close, it feels fitting to share some of my favorite projects in 2018! This one just feels so different from the standard Save the Date - the oversized archway that dominates the page was drawn from a beautiful Italian neo-renaissance building in downtown New York that is now home to @cipriani. I love the pairing of this beautiful architectural structure printed in gold foil with the texture of our artisan handmade paper. 💕 Design and planning @matthewrobbinsdesign Calligraphy @wellspringwrites Stationery @fourteen_forty
On this Christmas Eve, feeling so thankful for the blessings of these past months. These photos were taken two weeks before I gave birth, by my incredibly talented and sweet friend @charliejulietphotography. I’m so glad we captured this moment in time, when we were all filled with anticipation and wonder at who our new family member would be, what he would look like, be like. We’re now celebrating our first Christmas as a family of four. So much has changed, but the strangest (and most beautiful) thing is how natural it feels that our son is here. It’s like he’s always been with us, in our hearts, and now we finally have the pleasure of having him (and his loud cries) in our home. Meditating tonight on another birth as well, the birth of our Savior, who came into this world as a baby and in that instant, changed every one of us forever and ever. Merry Christmas to all! ❤️
Feeling all the holiday feels and looking forward to a weekend of gift wrapping and card writing and Christmas movie marathons! Hope you have cozy plans as well!

Studio update - this month has been all about catching up, clearing out all the old to make room for the new. Going through piles and sketches like this one, of a lovely upcoming wedding on a hillside in France. So dreamy! Baby update - our little guy is one month old today! Nope, have not taken his one month photo, he’s already being treated like the second child that he is 😂. The studio has been on a limited schedule until the new year, but today was one of our in office days, and slowly getting back into it has been awesome. As much as I love being a mom, I also love what I do and am so thankful to be able to do both. Thank you to our clients who have been so understanding during this time, and for everyone waiting for meetings in January - we will be back at it soon! #fourteenfortyny #wedding #weddinginvitation #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #custominvitations #luxuryweddings #luxuryinvitations #letterpress #custominvites #weddinginfrance #destinationwedding #frenchwedding #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolordrawing #process

The mother of the bride had the wonderful idea of a beautifully boxed invitation... The invite was nestled in a bed of Charleston Spanish moss along with a custom illustrated map. A truly special package for a special couple - thank you @brittneyhlevine for trusting us with your invitations! Thanks also to @clayaustin for such a gorgeous photo of the invites! #fourteenfortyny #wedding #weddinginvites #weddinginvitations #charleston #charlestonwedding #custominvitations
So much to be thankful for - all our friends, family, and amazingly sweet clients and colleagues who have been sending so many wonderful messages of support for the newest addition to our family (swipe left!), as well as the sweet girl who is now a big sister. Still working on a photo of the whole family, can’t believe we’re now four! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #happythanksgiving #thankful | studio 📷 @sasithonphoto
We're going to be grounded for a bit over here, but at least we can live vicariously through our clients!
