We’re head over heels for these elegant letterpress and foil-stamped wedding invitations. Jennifer and Steven’s wedding stationery is classic and features opulent details, such as beveled foil edges, making it stylish and exquisite. The couple worked with us at our Bella Figura NYC location, and it was an absolute pleasure helping bring their vision to life.

A swooping, driving script font highlights the couple’s names, which are foil-stamped in champagne matte. Their venue, the Mandarin Oriental, also appears in champagne matte foil. The remaining text is letterpress-printed in charcoal ink. Generous spacing keeps everything airy and elevates the look.
Perhaps one of our favorite features of this design is the use of our 3-ply cotton paper. This paper is soft and plush, with a slight texture. It holds a clean and crisp impression, really showcasing the depth of the printing. A 45-degree bevel edge gilded in champagne matte foil further highlights the thick stock.

Organic vine illustrations on the details card soften the formality and add a whisper of romance to the suite. The foil-stamped envelope liner is subtle and maintains the elegant, curated look.
Overall, these foil-stamped wedding invitations are sophisticated, intimate, and impeccably curated. It was a joy to work with Jennifer and Steven, and we wish them all the best. Do you have an idea or a vision for your wedding stationery? Work with us, and we can help bring your vision to life.
We worked with our friends at Fitzgerald’s Fine Stationery to bring Leah and Kenneth’s dream deco invitations to life. The team at Fitzgerald’s created the stunning peacock frame for the invitation; the shape matching the cut corners of the Franklin bevel. A combination of black, white, and gold printing and papers were used to create an air of luxury. The suite includes a pocketpanel in gold, to hold all the enclosure cards. The liner pattern is geometric and a perfect compliment to the invitation shape. Both the pocket panel and liner pattern are from our Sherah sample.

We created these colorful holiday cards with our friends at Paper Caper. Our Baldwin and Dahlman holiday samples provided the inspiration. We used the layout and fonts of the Baldwin, combined with the whimsical warm foil tones from the Dahlman. The ornament foil liner pattern is printed in champane matte on metallic rose quartz paper. Metallic red thread perfectly matches the red shine foil edge.

We worked with our friends at Seaside Papery to bring Logan and Stjepan’s stunning invitations to life. They drew inspiration from our Euphrasia and Giles samples. The black envelope opens to reveal the euphrasia liner pattern in champagne matte, and a sleek black pocket panel printed in black shine. The invitation card features champagne matte foil, and clear shine embossing. The enclosure cards are black with champagne foil, or white with black letterpress and border. The mix of tones creates a modern cascading effect when assembled in the pocket.
We worked with our friends at Oliver’s Twist to bring Liz and Chi-Chi’s save the dates to life. Our Tribeca sample was the inspiration, updated with cheerful clover letterpress and champagne matte foil. A New York City map liner in clover is the perfect addition.
We’re always interested to learn about our designer’s inspiration. Our designer Cassidy created the Dahlman holiday card for our 2023 holiday collection, and walks us through her inspiration:
Dahlman was inspired by the vintage Christmas ornaments from my great grandma’s mini Christmas tree! I’ve always loved her tree so much so I knew I had to illustrate my favorite ornaments and turn them into a pattern. I named the suite after my Oma’s maiden name Dahlman, as she’s always encouraged and inspired me to live out my dreams as an artist and designer
The color palette and illustration style was heavily inspired by Christmas cards from the 50s/60s, but especially the 1950s collection of Christmas cards designed by the amazing animator Thorten Hee. You can see these below, along with some real vintage ornaments.
The champagne matte foil and pink pearl shine give the card that retro feel and the red shine foil brings in the holiday cheer! For the typography, I used Dark Paradise for the title and Altesse script to help give the card a retro feel and Avenir helped to add a modern touch.
The card can be printed in multiple different colorways and the illustrations can be moved and adjusted to create something truly personalized. Pictures could also be added inside the big circle cutouts of the ornaments to place photos of your family or pets! I’ve mocked up some alternative color ways below.
Dahlman Option 1 – Holly paper with green shine foil, red shine foil, and champagne matte foil
Dahlman Option 2 – Backer option – Bella white paper with green shine foil, red shine foil, and champagne matte foil
