Cast Paper Art

Handmade paper takes time. Cotton and abaca fibers are pulped, poured into molds, pressed, and left to dry for a full day before the next step. There are no shortcuts that produce the same result.

Cast Paper Art has been making paper this way in St. Louis for more than 25 years. The process is the same whether an order is for ten sheets or several hundred.

Fall is a natural time for couples planning winter and early spring weddings to start thinking through their stationery.

Cast Paper Art's seed paper wedding invitations are made by hand from recycled cotton fibers embedded with wildflower seeds. Guests can plant the invitation after the wedding, and the paper breaks down naturally in the soil as the seeds germinate. Each sheet is made one at a time, so no two are exactly alike.

The loss of a pet is a hard thing to acknowledge, whether you're the family or someone offering condolences.

Our Pet Bookmarks are handmade for the loss of a pet, embedded with wildflower seeds so the card can be planted afterward as a small keepsake. Sent by veterinary offices, friends, and family.

Something we hear often from couples and event planners: what happens to plantable paper once it's in the ground?

The wildflower seeds embedded in our paper are perennials, which means the flowers come back year after year once planted. Our paper is designed to break down naturally into the soil, leaving only the wildflowers behind.

Our Tribute Angel is a handmade memorial piece cast from recycled cotton fibers, finished with gold-edged detail. A small, sculptural keepsake for families remembering a loved one.

Hospice programs, nursing homes, and funeral homes often give them to families, and families sometimes purchase them directly as a personal keepsake.

Guest books are one of the few things from a wedding that couples keep long after the day is over.

Our Eco-Friendly Guest Books are handmade with the same plantable paper as our invitations, bound by hand with raffia. A natural fit for couples who've built the rest of their wedding around handmade and sustainable choices.
