Paper Presentation

Yesterday on my lunch break I went to this amazing store near Union Square called Paper Presentation.
http://www.paperpresentation.com
They had everything you could possibly imagine when it came to paper, invitations, programs, guest books, ribbons, boxes, gifts, scrapbooking, I could go on but you get the point. I wasn't able to get nearly as many photos as I wanted, as my time was limited and I found my eyes glazing over every two seconds from visual overload.

Great Gift boxes

Look at all the different ribbons!
This is literally an entire shelf of just envelope liners:
Teeny tiny envelopes, so cute!
Decorative paper for invitations - There were probably 12 different shelves with different paper like this:

My time there was limited, and I only bought one thing. But, you can bet the wheels are turning for what I want to purchase for my next visit. I will say this store was a bit pricey. Most of the paper supplies are sold in packs of 25, so making things in bulk could add up. But, I'm actually very curious to do the math on how much my invitations would have cost if I did them myself buying each piece through this store versus going with the lady who did them for us. That will be a little price comparison lesson for another day when I have time, but curiosity definitely has gotten the better of me on that one. One thing is for sure, despite the price you most certainly couldn't beat the selection or the quality of their supplies. This store was a great little find!

Check out Paper Presentation's Website here! Did you find any fantastic specialty stores like this as you were planning your wedding?

OMG!!! We have to go to there! Don't have time to check out the website right now but will after work.Do they have 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch black grosgrain ribbon? Ha-silly question I'm sure. What don't they have? I'll look at the website and send you back on a mission with my list!

Now I'm sad that I don't one of these in my city. I guess Paper Source will have to do. I don't know how I can get this excited about paper, but now I know that I'm going to be spend a good chunk of time on their website. Thx for the link!

Oh and congrats on the Weddingbee feature! It took me a few minutes after seeing the pic to realize it was you, but I knew I had seen that pic somewhere else before...of course...your blog! Lol

Wow, what a huge store! We bought some of our supplies at Paper Source, another fabulous place for all kinds of paper inspiration. My favorite was our grapevine stamp, which we loved using for our programs and photo share cards.

That looks like so much fun! I can't wait to go through each page of their website since there's not one nearby me :(

I get most of my paper/envelopes/thank you cards/etc. at Paper Source. It's a really cool store, too!

Thanks for sharing!

Ahhhh, paper heaven! I actually ordered our save the date kraft paper envelopes from their website because they ended up being cheaper than paper-source. Judging from your pictures, I would need an entire weekend to peruse that store. Wow.

That store is A-MAZ-ING. I went in there once and was overwhelmed, and like you, didn't have a ton of time, so I'm going to have to go back and check it out - we should go together! It would be fun to go with someone else paper obsessed :)

Congrats on the feature on Weddingbee today too! yay!
