Stamps can provide such a lovely wedding detail - and will be one of the first thing your guests see before they open their invitation and can set the tone of your event. There are so many options out there to find vintage stamps of every theme, style and color {we like Ebay} and you can always customize your own stamps at stamps.com or zazzle.com.

I used to collect stamps as a child and always love how colorful they were. It's amazing the art that can squeezed in to such a small area.

ooh yes, buying vintage stamps was by far the most fun part of designing my invitation suite.

I am such a fan of vintage stamps. I can NEVER buy just plain ones. The breast cancer ones are always pretty and the $ goes to a good cause.

Fab post as always Maria. I'm always so gutted when beautiful stationery has to be sent with clashing stamps ruining first impressions. Not sure how you'd do this over here though. Hmmm.

WHO did that amazing calligraphy on the bottom photo with the Audrey stamps?

Not sure who did the calligraphy, but I think the font in the invites is Burgues Script!
