Designer Paper Prints

At some point in the planning process, you’ll likely find yourself in search of the perfect paper. I spent weeks driving to craft stores looking for cardstock in a very specific shade of yellow. Another month was spent searching online for a printed pattern that would match my invitation suite.

If you’re the kind of bride who obsesses over details, I suspect you have very specific design requirements for the paper you’ll use. Whether you’re looking for paper for envelope lining, programs, or craft projects, there are some great websites out there with tons of options. Here are some of my favorites:

Paper Mojo

PaperMojo.com has the largest inventory of printed papers I’ve found online, and their prices are very affordable. They’ve also got a great variety in styles – classic, contemporary, solids, etc. I especially like these:

Paper Source

If you’ve read my other blogs, you know I’m obsessed with Paper Source. Of the many things I love at this store, these small patterned prints rank pretty high:

French Paper

This website cracks me up with their mix of really exquisite formal prints and totally fun pop art. (Barbie! Santa Claus and Jesus!) I especially love their flocked prints:

For the crafty bride, paper can serve as a unifying element that carries from your invitations to your on-site design. From seating charts to photo booth backdrops, there are tons of ways to incorporate a beautiful printed paper. Good luck!
