Postage Set: A Florida Bride with a Postponement

I have loved working with a particular Florida bride on her save the dates, wedding postage and, unfortunately a set for her postponement announcements. She happens to love the same colors and themes I love, which is a sweet little bonus!

This bride contacted me requesting we incorporate one specific stamp, but otherwise, she was open to my suggestions. Easy enough, right? I was coming to this set with the knowledge that this bride liked blues and greens, so I incorporated as many of those as I could. I initially sent five designs for her to choose from, but four of them, while beautiful, were not as beautiful in her eyes as the final. I want to note that I love the Homer stamp of the sailboat on calm waters. It’s what I used on my very own save the dates 9 years ago! Anyway, the final choice turned out to be perfect. Scroll down to see her picture of the final product on the envelopes.

I hope you enjoyed this peak into my process for creating custom postage sets. If you’re interested, please email me!

This is the stamp we build the rest of the set around. From 1998, it was printed with 19 others on the American Illustrators sheet.

All the rejects. Lots of beautiful stamps here, but none of these sets were “the one” for this discerning bride.

The final choice! Really awesome to see how the labor day stamp makes the rest of the colors pop.

The bride sent me this picture of the stamps assembled on the envelopes. I think they look incredible!
