These invitations are formal and timeless yet feature personal touches and hints of glamour, making them perfect for an event held at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. We worked with our friend Dara of Dear Friends to create these black-tie letterpress wedding invitations for Alexandra and Dylan.
Black letterpress on our bright white, smooth cotton paper is classic and timeless. Our smooth cotton paper has a luxuriously textured yet pillowly feel and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The bride and groom’s initials appear at the top of the invitation, adding a personal flair, while the script font keeps things formal. The envelope liner is an understated metallic silver and adds a burst of glamour.

The reply card boasts crisp white printing on black text. Digital printing ensures the white is opaque and there is no paper show through, or rather, the dark paper is not visible through the light color ink.
Silver paper adds a touch of sophistication and Miami glam to the welcome party card. The dot border is playful, while the overall design remains consistent with the invitation and maintains its look and feel.

We had the pleasure of printing this stunning suite from our friends at Soirée Signatures in Mobile, Alabama. A 3-ply, double-sided, beveled invitation was slipped into a custom embossed pocket panel with a cut-out to highlight the couple’s duogram digitally printed on the reverse side of the invitation. The attention to detail is remarkable and truly showcases the talent behind these custom-designed pieces.
Even the menus received the luxury treatment, die-cut into custom shapes. Everything about this invitation suite is custom. The event was a special day full of so many beautiful moments and items, and we are honored to have played a part in creating some of the beauty.
We love seeing our clients’ ideas come to life! All of our designs can be customized to fit your vision, even creating your own design. Contact us to learn more and create a one-of-a-kind wedding invitation.
Amanda and Sean re-imagined our Madison Chic wedding invitation design in Gold Matte foil and Sea-side letterpress ink. The vertical layout and metallic envelope liner add formality to the free-flowing hand calligraphy and custom calligraphed duogram.
Hand calligraphy doesn’t have to be stuffy or humdrum to still feel formal and elegant. Need proof? Check out our Miranda wedding invitation design as imagined by Jessica and Jason. Playful touches like a hand calligraphed duogram within a custom cartouche and event specific motifs from our extensive collection compliment the (blue) devil-may-care Belle calligraphy style for this Duke University Chapel wedding.
