marsala letterpress invitations with pops of bronze and blue

Lucienne and Joseph worked with Smitten Boutique to create their marsala letterpress invitations. The design also features pops of Bronze as well as Blue. Wardell Modern served as the inspiration for their set as they carried over the geometrical structure of the original design. The line elements popped in Bronze Shine foil with the rest of the typography printed in Marsala letterpress. A corresponding reply card printed in Marsala kept everything cohesive as well. To add another element of color, the couple decided on Bella Blue outer envelopes and reply envelopes with White addressing. To keep with the geometric theme, they decided on our Sea Stripes pattern in Bronze Shine foil for the envelope liner pattern.

gold shine wedding invitations with calligraphy accents

Amy and Joshua worked with Soiree Signatures to create their gold shine wedding invitations with calligraphy accents. Sarah Hanna’s Honoured calligraphy style gleamed brightly in gold foil along with the monogram. The secondary wording printed in Black letterpress kept everything clean. The Bella Currant paper brought a pop of color to this set as well as the Bella Old Rose envelope. This suite truly shows how color can be used in different ways without incorporating another ink color.

love letter: telling stories through invitations

Invitations tell stories. From the when to the where and everything in-between, an invitation sets the tone of what’s to come. Our Love Letter design printed in Copper Matte foil paired with soft vintage florals tells the story of a romantic setting to come. The loose script font sprawling across the page appears like a hand-written note. The belly-band keeps everything safe and sound with a floral motif added to keep everything consistently sweet. Finally, a matching save the date foreshadows the invitation to come with nods towards the script and vintage florals.

introducing our brooklyn inspired regional collection

Our first regional collection was inspired by iconic wedding venues in and around Brooklyn, New York. The collection of 12 wedding suites and 11 stand-alone save the dates features hand-illustrated artwork, new paper colors, and plenty of nods to New York. We’re excited to feature a glimpse into the collection below. The rest of the regional designs from the collection can be viewed on our website here.

LUCENT: 

regional collection
The Lucent design was inspired by the Weylin, a renowned Williamsburg Savings bank restored into one of the most prevalent community centers and wedding venues within the city. The design features hand-illustrations of the building as well as its intricate ceiling. Our new papers take the stage within this suite including our Bella Rosebud and Bella Old Rose.

WAREHOUSE:

regional collection
The Liberty Warehouse is a popular venue with expansive views of the New York Harbor. Our Warehouse design features playful illustrations of the skyline that would be seen from water’s edge while at the venue. The set is printed in Cobalt ink and paired with a belly-band using White Matte foil to make the skyline sketch pop.

BORDEAUX:

regional collection
Inspired by the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, the invitation itself is reminiscent of the wine labels found at the venue. The set features clean typography in Umber ink and vintage wine-inspired accents throughout. Hand-illustrations of the Williamsburg Bridge and water towers add an extra touch of Brooklyn personalization.

EDISON:

regional collection
The Green Building is another restored Brooklyn venue complete with exposed brick, beamed ceilings and rustic touches throughout. Our Edison design reflects the space with its whimsical illustrations, like a truck reminiscent of the one that sits outside the venue. Bella Holly paper adds a touch of color to an otherwise neutral color palette with accents of Copper Shine foil.

green floral letterpress wedding invitations

Our flagship store worked with Allison and Taylor to create their green floral letterpress wedding invitations. The typography printed in Cobblestone ink acted as a neutral to the surrounding Celadon florals. Our Tristan design served as the inspiration for their design. Additionally, the couple made the design their own by placing the botanical elements in nonadjacent corners framing their wording. A serif font kept the typography clean as well as consistent throughout. Finally, a striped envelope liner pattern added a geometric element to a more garden inspired set.

monogrammed letterpress wedding invitations with floral cartouche

Paper Affair Dallas helped us to create these monogrammed letterpress wedding invitations for Catherine and Justin. Inspired by our Annata design, a floral cartouche situated at the top of the invitation held the letterpress monogram. Typography in Antique Gold and Black letterpress inks followed beneath with a traditional structure. The accommodations card as well as the reply card features similar floral imagery imagined in different ways. Finally, the thank you card used the same floral cartouche and monogram to keep everything cohesive.

tawny matte foil wedding invitations inspired by neville

These Tawny Matte foil wedding invitations came together thanks to the help of Magnificent Milestones. This typography based layout kept the design clean and simple with focus on the bride as well as the groom. Inspired by Neville, the couple decided to keep their design similar yet chose a champagne-like foil over black ink. A square reception card corresponded with the invitation in Tawny Matte foil as well. Finally, an envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern added color to an otherwise monochromatic suite.

rose gold birth announcements with lavender envelope liner

Abby, Jeremy, and big brother Nash welcomed little Sienna into the world this past November. They worked with Marissa Allie Designs to create these rose gold birth announcements. They used a flourished script font to highlight her name and a clean block font for the surrounding text. A stitched border as well as a sweet motif at the top kept the announcement playful. Finally, a solid purple envelope liner added a splash of color to this little one’s set.
