Sometimes, the Universe’s timing is divine. I had an idea that I wanted to bring to life SO badly, and a few days later Taylor and Brittany from Unveiled Bliss asked me to be a part of an intimate beachside dinner shoot in Cabo San Lucas… the perfect setting for what I was dreaming up. For the dinner menus, I framed woven caning in lasercut white acrylic. Each caning held a mounted deckled edge menu, but the real showstopper was the custom woven details - each menu was hand-stitched with various twine and cords, that matched the setting, and the organic yet beautiful vibe of the venue. Venue ..read more

To set the tone for Samantha and Jack’s September wedding in the Ojai Valley, we worked to construct a stationery suite like no other. Leaving no stone unturned, the resulting stationery featured almost every material and production method possible… letterpress, blind impression, metallic and matte foil, duplexing (to as thick as 4-py paper), efined calligraphy throughout by Anne Robin, screen printing on custom cut linen, and stamped custom leather tags- all tucked in a custom-made oversized square box-elope envelope with a collage of perfectly curated vintage postage. Stationery was just th ..read more

I didn’t know ‘Oklahoma Chic’ was a thing until Samantha and Jack went all out with their welcome party for their wedding guests! Perfectly brought to live by Sterling Social, every detail came together in a cohesive, playful, yet elegant way. It was so fun to mix it up with a totally different aesthetic from their wedding stationery. The overall design and feel of the event was a nod to the bride’s Oklahoma roots, brought to life through natural, earth toned colors and the various textures of laser-etched leather, stained wood, brass grommets, and gingham. We were delighted to bring in differ ..read more

Sam and Jack’s wedding weekend was filled with the most meticulously planned events (by none other than Sterling Social) , and we were lucky enough to supply all of the paper goods and signage for each celebration. For this blog series, let’s start with their rehearsal dinner! The evening hosted at Ojai Valley Inn had a dreamy neutral color palette of soft blushes, corals, and whites set against the lush greens of the dining area. We’re amazed at the amount of texture incorporated in this beautiful setting. Swell Press designed the letterpress and copper foil invitations for the evening, as w ..read more

  Chelsea and Julien personalized our semi-custom Sage Suite for their big day in Temecula. Neutral grey and white palette with a vellum map wrap, and spot calligraphy from Joanna at Order She Wrote toppingd it all off, adding a sophisticated flair. We love the pop of shine from the custom wax seal and gold twine that accompanied each suite! Photos courtesy of Ashley Bee   ..read more

Yesterday, I invited my friend and business coach, Winn Clark, to go Live with me on Instagram to talk about how we can support ourselves during challenging times. Winn graciously compiled a list of resources and tips that I’ve shared below. With so much uncertainty in times like this, taking care of ourselves has never been more important. Thank you for your contribution, Winn- your work has helped me transform my life, and I’m hopeful the below will be a great resource for those who need it. - Britt (March 27th, 2020) SHOW NOTES: TIPS and TAKEAWAYS: Self Care Non-Negotiables. It's impor ..read more

I’m often asked about the journey of Swell Press- and while I’ve recounted it on a few podcasts, I’ve never taken the time to revisit old photo memories or notes and type it out (given the length of this, you’ll see why). While the following is certainly not my best literary work, I figured there is no better time than the present to spend a few hours revisiting memories of the past 6 years. My hope is that if you’re building a creative business, you’ll find comfort in knowing most likely, I, or someone else on this path, has been right there with you. I still have a long way to go, but I’m ho ..read more

We’re so delighted that Katherine and Scott’s Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm wedding was featured by Martha Stewart Weddings! When it came to the paper for their Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm wedding in Santa Barbara, Katherine and Scott opted for a classic design, featuring rose gold foil, dusty rose, and shades of grey. From invitations to day-of paper goods, we had the pleasure of printing everything from fan-shaped programs to bar and table signage, to tented place cards with custom calligraphy by Nicole Miyuki and letterpressed menus. The day-of items were sleek and understated against the amazing bur ..read more

After Christina and I’s initial call about her wedding stationery, we were both totally aligned on her vision- moody but tropical, modern but romantic, boho but with geometric shapes- I immediately had a vision for what I wanted to create for their fall wedding at Acre Baja in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico. We used super-thick dramatic black paper, a geometric trifold insert, and pops of glam with metallic gold foil — this was a bit of a departure from the clean whites and bright colors we tend to display on our feed, but we were ready to explore this striking aesthetic and make some magic. We hig ..read more

When I first met Selene and heard her vision for she and Ted’s wedding day, I knew it was going to be incredible. When I saw the photos, I was blown away- even in my wildest dreams could I not imagine such an amazing burst of beauty at their beachside wedding. Those florals! That tablescape! Pinch me! With a color palette of copper, blush, and my new favorite color- that perfect mustard- we began the custom design process for this wedding suite. Their venue, Solaz Los Cabos, has some amazing architecture- sleek and modern- I knew I wanted to pay homage to that, while still keeping the suite so ..read more
