LoveGivesWell Local Gifted Wedding in Syracuse, New York

Last year we had the pleasure of partnering with Lovewell Design for a unique local event that took place in August. LoveGivesWell was a gifted wedding headed by Kate at Lovewell Design, an inspired event planner based here in Syracuse with lots of love for local vendors. Kate was inspired by Becky and Craig’s story (they met a few years ago at the Buy Local Bash!) and worked with some of the area’s most talented wedding professionals to help put on the event. We worked with Becky and Craig for their invitations, which featured our Modern Fete design in tawny matte foil and sea mist letterpress ink on our 2-ply white Bella Cotton paper. Check out some of the beautiful images from their wedding below, or head over to the Lovewell Post for more details on their celebration!

Modern Surf + Chartreuse Letterpress Wedding invitations

Kristy and Sam chose a bold color combination of chartreuse, pewter and surf inks for their modern letterpress wedding invitations and save the dates. Their invitation suite featured our Farmstand invitation design, and consisted of an invitation, reply card, save the date, folded thank you notes, and coordinating envelopes. Reminiscent of a vintage seed packet, we love the sueded, vintage look of the stripes on this design. A chartreuse envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern tied the entire set together.

Country Club Wedding featuring Leigha Spring wedding invitations

We love the way Claire and Brenden infused pops of cobalt blue throughout their country club wedding – from the ink on their Leigha Spring invitation suite right down to the shoes of the groomsmen! Their outdoor ceremony had an amazing view of Phoenix, Maryland and their cake featured fresh hydrangeas reminiscent of the ones on their invitations. Claire worked with The Pleasure of Your Company for her Bella Figura stationery, which featured letterpress printing in cobalt ink on our white Bella Cotton paper, corner rounding, and a beautiful invitation envelope complete with petite dot envelope liners and a decorative floral flap.
