Welcome to the first of four posts in which we’ll feature wedding invitations from the last year. We’re calling this series 4 the Love partly because weddings are, you know, all about the L-word, and because we genuinely love these four very different invitation suites. We’ll see a modern invitation for a couple getting married at the Columbus Museum of Art, a thoroughly sweet and sophisticated design for an outdoor ceremony and reception, and one that breaks mold for a ballet-infused gothic Halloween wedding (you read that right, and it was even more amazing than it sounds). We’re going to start with a golden example of timeless elegance for a cathedral ceremony and Ohio State House reception. It also represents...

Italia, where crests of marble and mosaic abound, and where centuries-old paper mills continue to...

From it’s brick-and-mortar home on North High Street, On Paper has been designing wedding invitations and selling fine stationery, handsome writing instruments, and hand-bound journals for two decades. We’re planning a year of pomp and circumstance and we hope you’ll join us! Chin chin! Among the festivities, we’ve planned monthly workshops to gather our fellow paper lovers together. In December we hosted our first in the series: a typewriter social, which is exactly what it sounds like, and better! Richard Polt, author of "The Typewriter Revolution" and one of Ohio’s typewriter aficionados,...
