Hi I am Amanda, the one behind Silverplate Press. I am crazy passionate about creating beautiful letterpress wedding stationery to give weddings the best first impression. I'll try to keep it interesting and relevant to wedding invitations, but I gotta say sometimes I might just write about some personal things too.

Ally & Will's wedding was so gorgeous! It was a Prince Edward County wedding at One Hundred Acre Wood so you know it's gonna be nice!! Here’s a snap shot of the highlights of the day! Incredible, right?!
Ally and Will’s stationery included the works! Invitations, postponement (covid), acrylic welcome signage, huge acrylic menu sign, various table signs, and it was the first time that I got to make a custom guestbook! I love how everything flowed and matches so eloquently.
Minimal and gentle designs are perfect for letterpress – I always say less is more when it comes to wedding invitation ..read more

Cornelia & Matt got married on a hot day in August where the sun was shining most of the day. A few raindrops added a little luck (and eased the heat) during their backyard ceremony overlooking the vegetable garden. They loved the stars and colour and their custom wedding stationery was the most authentic first impression for their wedding day.

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."
— Anthony J. D'Angelo —
It seems like it's every bride's worst nightmare – rain on her wedding day. But honestly, speaking from experience, (heh, it poured on our day), the rain doesn't matter one bit because of one very important thing you need to remember (and you will)… you carry your own sunshine that day. Filled to the brim with love and happiness, it won’t matter in the end if it rained, hailed or snow-stormed, the important thing to remember is you have the ability to not let it bother you. Just do wha ..read more

I went to design school so that I could create art as a job. At the time I didn’t realize a lot of things. I didn’t realize that you can actually be an artist as a job, and I also didn’t realize that graphic design was not as glamorous as I thought… and actually would end up taking a bit of my soul, and push me in a new direction where nature inspires me to do my best work on a really old printing press… okay, so I’m being a bit vague here, so here’s the story of how and why it happened.
After going to design school (twice… once for a diploma and once for a degree), I landed a jo ..read more

The treehugger in me is gushing! This wedding was absolutely stunning. And those invitations! OMG. I’m dying! I feel just so grateful to be given the opportunities to do my best work – to be creative in a whole way.
A note about the invitations: I letterpress printed on a piece of faux leather, so it still has that impression that is so iconic to letterpress. I paired the insert cards with ivory cotton paper (also letterpress printed) and roughed the edges on purpose, black lined e ..read more
