I think she is going to grow up with a penchant for letterpress stationery!

Congrats Kati and Trent!

Letterpressed in one color, the invitation suite included a Save the Date postcard, invitation, response card and a custom-illustrated map.

A chalkboard-inspired Save the Date postcard set the tone for the event and featured a gorgeous color-splashed photo of the stunning couple.

A nod to the Red Barn Farm.

This custom-illustrated map was drawn by my sister, Megan Peterson. Her work is one-of-a-kind and she is available for hire! Please contact me if you are interested in a custom map and we will work together to create something just for you.

All photos by me.

I created printed pieces to go along with their wedding day including ceremony programs, escort cards, table numbers and menus.

Cocktail hour at the University Club of Chicago is held in the Library so Library check-out cards were created for guests to find which “Book” they were seated at.

Circle menus playfully adorned with icons fit perfectly on the classic black and gold place setting.

Since I live right across the street from Lincoln Park and LOVE to dine al fresco, a bright and bubbly picnic was born. Featuring my signature colors of hot pink and grey with a touch of gold (because I can’t help myself); I created menus, place cards and even these popcorn containers (hello Oscar party).

Amy from Fleur created two gorgeous arrangements.

We looked a little silly pushing a cart full of props over Clark Street and my doorman was none to pleased, but it was all worth it and I can’t wait to show you soon!

I had a ton of fun with my Silhouette Cameo (now that I know how to work it) creating signage for the party and drink flags. I love any excuse to create a fun paper piece and this machine makes die-cutting easy to do. Hint, hint for my brides looking for an intricately-cut paper band or favor tag.

I’ll be sure to share pictures from the event and until then, have a lovely weekend! Cheers to the birthday boy!

The event space, City Cottage on Chouteau in St. Louis, inspired the bold stripes and delicate pram while the nursery colors for baby Emerson dictated shades of dark chocolate and lavender.

Coordinating Thank You notes and Escort Cards completed the suite.

I promise to share Emerson’s baby announcement once it is ready!

Thank you to all of my past, present (and hopefully) future clients for supporting Courtney Callahan Paper. These past years have been a wonderful journey and I have valued my time working with you.

Thank you to my family and friends for continually supporting my work and listening to me blab about paper, pantone colors, photo shoots, the latest Martha Stewart Weddings magazine and even a funny request or two. Your encouragement keeps me going every day!

And if you’re not a fan on Facebook, you should be!

While last weekend’s trip to NYC and a visit to Martha Stewart Weddings to show my work had my head spinning, it kicked off a jam-packed week of new clients, new designs and new projects which is why I bring you…an instagram showcase. It’s all I could muster together this week and hope to be back next with more thrilling posts. I promise.

Circle menus adorned with icons for Rebecca and Anub’s wedding this weekend.

These letterpress stunners are edged in hot pink and deckled with metallic gold – swoon.
