Graphic artist and book designer Nicole Lecht puts a refreshing twist on wedding guest books by creating the “blessing book“:

Instead of a conventional book filled with signatures, guests are given a little card where they can write messages to the newlyweds and tuck these well-wishes into little envelopes attached to the pages of the book. A lovely treat for both the newlyweds and the guests, each envelope is lined with antique wallpaper pieces, with each being a different design.

In addition to the blessing books, Nicole’s extensive portfolio freshly{blended} includes other handmade books and eye-catching print designs. In her spare time, she shares her love of books and paper goods on her blog, and is working on a new project — mini sketchbooks made from vintage wallpapers. I can’t wait to see more of your beautiful work Nicole!
