We’re so excited to introduce you to Samantha Chu, the mastermind behind Papermints, and their wonderful wedding invitations. She started as most of us do with a love of crafting from a young age. Her creativity eventually lead to a degree in Fine Arts from the School of Art Institute of Chicago and a career as a book and magazine designer until she ventured out to do what she really loves: designing stationery.
When asked what Samantha’s favorite part about designing wedding stationery is, she said, “Personalizing our invitation designs to showcase the couple’s unique style and creativity. I remember as I was creating my own wedding invitation what a thrill is was to see our names (written as future husband & wife) beautifully printed on a formal invitation.”
Samantha is inspired by clean minimalist design. She loves to peruse architecture and design magazines. This clean design inspiration is very evident in her beautiful, classic stationery seen below.
Here is one of Samantha’s awesome Nearlyweds designs also:
Samantha says the typical Papermints customer is a “budget-savvy bride with a taste for modern simplicity.” She also offers a Real Wedding portion on Papermints for brides to get inspiration from other couples.
Papermints offers three different invitation types:
-For the more classic, traditional bride, their original handmade wedding invitations are created with exquisite textured papers, ribbons and delicate handcrafted materials.
-Papermints’ signature line, the Contempo Collection, is for the modern bride. The contemporary designs are minimalist, bold and stylish, and can be customized with an endless palette of vibrant and soft hues printed on heavyweight smooth or eggshell cotton papers.
-The newest Moda Collection combines clean lines and modern graphics for the trend-conscious urban bride. She’ll love these fresh, original and budget-friendly designs, which can be created on 100% recycled paper for an eco-friendly wedding.
Papermints’ designs are beautiful, modern and classic. We hope you all will welcome Papermints with open arms!
