Romantic Foil + Letterpress Aria Invitations

We love helping our Bella brides create their dream wedding invitations (and we love when they send us a glimpse of their special day!). Andrea, one of the brides we worked with this summer, selected our Aria design (by Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls) in silver shine foil and charcoal letterpress for her wedding invitations. She incorporated hand calligraphy accents in our Bescal style, and added corner rounding, foil edging and belly bands to embellish her invitation suite. Pewter and sea mist envelope liners in our European formal pattern were used to line her silver envelopes. The end result? Simply stunning.
