All is a flutter at this photo shoot at The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our dear friends Jessica and Michael of Masi Events created this stunning shoot, and we were thrilled to be a part of it. Our Leandra design, which effortlessly blends timeless romance and formality with modern luxury details, was the perfect match for this botanical-inspired shoot.
The invitation is refined and understated. Formal typography paired with letterpress printing in espresso is contemporary and warm. The text overlays crisp blind embossing of floral artwork, elevating the invitation’s design while adding dimension. Foil-stamping on a velvet tag adds even more tactile appeal.

Elements from the invitation found their way into the design of the day-of pieces. The darling butterfly pattern of the envelope liner is repurposed into a border for the table cards. The mocha velvet of the monogram tag makes for a luxurious die-cut menu. The velvet menu also features swoon-worthy blind-embossed floral accents.
This stunning photo shoot boasts timeless wedding formality with warm, tactile materials and subtle contemporary styling. The look is romantic but tailored with curated, intentional elegance. It is a joy to work with Masi Events, and we always look forward to what Jessica and Michael have in store. All of the photos from this shoot, from the stationery to the floral arrangements, tablescapes, and more, are absolutely lovely, and we were so happy to be a part of it.
There is so much to love about Sarah and Benji’s wedding invitation suite, from a charming storybook-inspired illustration to dramatic painted beveled edges, a stately envelope liner, and more. This couple worked with our friend Nicola at Lee’s Paperie to create their whimsical invitation set.

The line illustration of the couple has a romantic, vintage French vibe and immediately catches the eye. It’s adorable and fanciful, and we absolutely adore it. An interesting thing about this invitation set is that if you were to remove the illustration from the invite, it would still be a lovely suite.
Bordeaux letterpress ink is stunning and displays a richness when printed on our Bella Smooth Cotton ivory paper. The ivory gives the cards a classic, vintage feel, and the 2-ply stock holds a crisp letterpress impression, which really shows off the fine lines of the artwork and the fonts, particularly the modern font used for the bride and groom’s names. The mix of delicate italics and all capitals is edgy and modern. The typography feels elegant without being overly ornate, and it complements the minimalist artwork, which features just enough detail to be complete but not over the top.
We always love a beveled edge, and edge painting highlights the gentle slope. The other cards in the suite are also edge-painted, carrying the pop of color throughout. Bordeaux edge painting beautifully matches the letterpress ink, as well as the envelope and the liner. Using a single color throughout the stationery set is refined and contemporary.
The stars on the welcome dinner invitation call back to the dreamy moon-and-stars illustrations of the invitation. The traditional border of the details card aligns with the envelope liner’s classic stripes.
Are you interested in a custom illustration or creating a whimsical yet sophisticated fairytale aesthetic? Whatever you dream up, we can make it happen. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding invitation suite.
Elegant design combined with painterly botanicals has us swooning over Olivia and Armando’s engraved wedding invitation suite. This couple worked with our dear friend Michelle of Ink Fine Stationers to customize our Neve design, and the results are absolutely stunning.

This design features engraving, a traditional print method that utilizes etched metal plates to create a raised impression. This technique is classic and timeless, and looks completely amazing when paired with our Bella 2-ply Cotton paper. The thin, delicate typography stands out against the thick, plush texture of the paper.
The font selection feels formal and romantic. The couple’s names appear in a flowing script with dramatic swashes that serve as the focal point. While the remaining text appears more subdued than the bride and groom’s names, there are still plenty of dramatic flourishes, giving the overall design an intensity and vibrancy.
Although romantic, the design remains uncluttered. Large amounts of white space emphasize the typography, creating a sophisticated feel. The invitation fits into a vellum gatefold for an added level of sophistication.
The envelope liner features a painterly floral artwork reminiscent of classical oil paintings. The flowers have a vintage gallery-like quality that evokes classic still-life paintings.
Whether you want the drama of an elaborate script font, the romance of a floral envelope liner, or the tradition of engraving, you can create what you want with any of our designs. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect engraved wedding invitation set.
We had the pleasure of working with Katharine and Samuel every step of the way, from their save-the-dates to the day-of pieces. This invitation suite blends formal elegance with pastoral charm, creating a look that feels both luxurious and deeply personal. This couple, who held their wedding at Blue Hill Stone Barns, worked with our dear friend Ashley, of Ashley Douglass Events, to create this polished, romantic, and thoughtfully curated wedding stationery.
First up, the couple chose to customize our Payton Save the Date. The original design features an A-5 card featuring handmade paper duplexed to an A-6 made from Bella smooth cotton. Katharine and Samuel replicated the look, while making it their own. Their version features our Bella Cotton paper, which has a decadent, pillowy texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The alternating strip pattern for the border is casual and somewhat preppy, with a hint of vintage sentiment.
The green color palette is calming and perfect for a late summer wedding at a bucolic farm estate. The couple’s names are printed in Spruce, while the remaining letterpress printing is done in a slightly lighter shade, Acadia, ensuring the names take center stage.
The invitation is both formal and traditional, featuring a symmetrical layout with ample spacing, creating a clean, luxurious look. The ornate script font for the couple’s names features dramatic flourishes which are offset by the delicate serif font used for the remaining text.

The border pattern from the save-the-date is repeated on the invitation’s envelope liner, except this time it is a two-color pattern. Adding a second color elevates the look while carrying over the style and influence of the original inspiration.
Darling botanical line illustrations set the rehearsal dinner invitation apart. The delicate meadow-inspired artwork features a high level of detail, beautifully displayed when letterpress-printed on our Bella cotton 2-ply paper.
The menu is downright charming. Our Spruce paper coordinates with the established colorway, while Spruce and Holly digital inks give this unique menu an on-trend monochromatic look. The cow die-cut shape is playful and whimsical, and perfect for a menu of a wedding reception held at a farm. The cow silhouette immediately introduces a sense of personality, while the restrained color palette keeps the overall aesthetic sophisticated rather than rustic.

There are so many wonderful details surrounding Katherine and Richard’s Southwestern wedding invitation set that it’s hard even to know what to swoon over first. There is so much texture from velvet to handmade paper, plus painterly artwork, decadent foil stamping, and artful blind debossing. The couple drew inspiration from our Nash design, including the Save the Date, and worked with our dear friend Phyllis of By Invitation Only.

The invitation features a driving script font and a formal layout. The concept of a border was borrowed from the inspiration design, but customized to fit the couple’s vision, and includes pomegranates, a traditional symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
Belly Band
foil stamping: copper shine
fonts: the original + branch
paper: bella velvet wine
card size: f-8 vertical belly band
finishing: assemble with the invitation
job: 76477
The invitation features a velvet backing with the bride and groom’s names blind-debossed into it. This is an unexpected yet charming detail. Pressing the text into the velvet without ink creates a tonal look that is both on-trend and timeless while accentuating the texture of the velvet.
A velvet belly band wraps around the invitation, securing the additional cards for an orderly presentation when guests open the envelope. Copper shine foil stamping on the front of the belly band, including a pomegranate motif, is a lovely addition. Our wine velvet gives a subtle nod to the desert landscape and the recurring pomegranate theme.
The painterly artwork from the save-the-date is just too good not to feature again, so it makes another appearance as the invitation’s envelope liner.

This entire wedding invitation suite is incredible, and we are so happy to have been part of creating something so lovely and meaningful. The vibe is intimate and luxurious, and the look perfectly captures the destination while including plenty of meaningful details. Are you inspired to create your own Southwestern wedding invitation? Or do you like the idea of creating a tonal look through blind debossing or painterly style artwork? Work with one of our dealers to create your dream invitations.
This foil-stamped wedding stationery suite has us envisioning a candlelit reception with soft table linens and stunning floral arrangements.

Artful lettering for the couple’s names is inspired and sophisticated, and leans toward a modern feel. Mink matte foil provides glimmer while setting the tone for the color palette. A border consisting of thin, parallel lines frames the invitation, lending the design a sense of formality. A lush pattern featuring decadent blooms and trailing greenery adorns the back of the invitation, providing a fun, unexpected detail. The couple’s monogram foil-stamped on the envelope liner is a charming personal touch. The monogram also includes the wedding date and a border similar to that of the invitation, but also in the die-cut shape of some of the cards in the suite.
The octagonal corners and generous spacing of the ceremony card and the website card balance the florals with subtle modernity. The tone of our almond stock in 1-ply for the ceremony card beautifully coordinates with the botanical artwork on the reverse of the invitation. The inclusion of a bloom on the website card maintains consistency with the suite.

The flowing script paired with a classic small caps serif font creates a balance between romance and formality. Handmade paper elevates the look while the feathery deckle edge adds a lovely texture. The soft paper holds a clean letterpress impression, showcasing both the crisp lines of the fonts and the details of the foliage artwork.

This floral die-cut menu is as charming and joyful as it is useful and functional. The look leans into an expressive, colorful, curated aesthetic, and we can’t take our eyes off it. This menu came to us from our friend Leslie of If It’s Paper.
The scalloped edge die-cut gives the menus a decorative silhouette and ensures this piece stands out. The fan shape feels vintage, and the bold floral border is perfect for this late-summer wedding. The floral artwork is loose and organic, creating a fresh, modern vibe.

The script font infuses energy and personality into the design. The more delicate serif font elegantly balances the typography. Different versions of the menus were printed, depending on each guest’s meal selection. Each menu also bears a guest’s name, allowing it to serve as a place card. The tassel adds a whimsical, maximalist, tactile element with a festive feel.
The design is fun and romantic yet formal and elegant. Do you need day-of pieces, like menus and place cards, for your celebration? Do you want something that picks up where your invitation design left off? Work with one of our dealers to create all of our day-of printed items.

Our Bella smooth cotton stock in 2-ply holds a clean, deep letterpress impression, adding a subtle texture. Lavender ink is romantic, almost ethereal, and regal. This color also coordinates with the venue, The Ritz-Carlton Montréal. The script font used in the inspiration design was highly stylized, but swapping it for something more delicate, graceful, and refined changes the entire look while setting the tone for this elegant and traditional affair. The sophisticated serif font balances the flourishes of the script font.
A generous layout with ample white space creates a minimalist composition that allows the custom monogram crest to stand out. The monogram features the couple’s initials and a fleur-de-lis, making it personal and elevating the look while paying homage to the location of the nuptials. Our design team crafted the custom crest based on the couple’s direction. A letterpress border is pressed into the stock, framing the entire invitation and showcasing the thickness of the paper.
Our toile pattern in lavender adds a vintage vibe to the envelope liner and beautifully complements the botanical accents that adorn the crest.

The look blends soft romance with a modern luxe edge. The typography is stately and traditional. There is a delicate formality to the fonts, which work together beautifully for a timeless look. Blind embossed floral artwork subtly fills in the generous blank space without overwhelming the design. Blind emboss is letterpress printing without ink, so you get the impression pushed into the paper without the color. The feel is elegant and intimate with plenty of tactile details. The botanical artwork from the invitation is digitally printed for the envelope liner. The detail gives the flowers a vintage feel and creates consistency between the invite and the liner.
Mocha velvet for the tag and reply card adds warmth and even more texture. There is a slightly western, mountain vibe to the mocha velvet, perfect for this Colorado wedding. The serif font monogram is refined and gracefully toes the line between a black-tie and ranch aesthetic.
