Everything about Christiane and Shepherd’s wedding invitation suite is charming and dreamy. This couple said ‘I do’ at Château de la Croix, located in the French Riviera, and their wedding stationery struck the perfect balance between a rustic French countryside feel and a black-tie affair. We were so happy to work with our dear friend Stacey of Union Street Papery on these French Riviera estate wedding invitations.

The invitation features copper matte foil stamping and yale letterpress ink on our Bella cotton ivory 2-ply paper. The ivory stock has a soft texture but still holds a deep letterpress impression. Our viola pattern appears on the liner and the belly band. This rustic floral pattern has a refined yet moody vibe. We offer a wide array of patterns that make excellent envelope liners, and all of them can also be repurposed for use on belly bands, the back of cards, gatefolds, or anywhere else. The edges of the invitation are lined in copper matte foil, introducing a sense of glamour.
The tri-fold details card merges style and functionality. Yale letterpress printing appears on both the front and back, coordinating with the invitation. Illustrations of the venue adorn several panels, while the first panel features the same floral motif that appears on the invitation.

Julia and Alexander worked with our dear friend Sheryl of Arabesque of Naples to create their custom Art Deco wedding invitation. The invitation is lovely and glamorous, and it is also paired with a stunning foil-stamped gatefold that elevates this invitation suite.

The invitation features a delicate border with thin, alternating lines in gold matte foil and black letterpress, along with a ladder-like pattern in foil. Letterpress sunbursts accent the corners. The frame is geometric and highly detailed, and does an excellent job of drawing the eye to the text. The text also alternates between letterpress and foil stamping, with the names appearing prominently in a larger script font and foil-stamped in gold matte.
The gatefold is a showstopper. This enclosure features an Art Deco shell pattern on the exterior. The bride and groom’s first initials appear on the front, but on opposite sides of the opening, lining up perfectly when the gatefold is closed. Opaline shine foil gives the gatefold an ethereal quality.
We are delighted to have had the opportunity to bring Julia and Alexander’s vision to life, and we wish them all the best.

Natalie and Benjamin chose our Mirabella design for the nuptials, which was a perfect choice for their big day. The couple worked with our NYC store to create their letterpress and foil wedding invitations, and the results are stunning.
The grandiose invitation design perfectly set the tone for Natalie and Benjamin’s wedding, which was held at the St. Regis New York. This iconic venue is an excellent example of Beaux Arts architecture, and the extravagant foil-stamped frame of the invitation beautifully coordinates with the venue. The venue even made an appearance on the custom envelope liner. An illustration of the St. Regis New York appears in antique gold digital printing on the liner.

The details card is on our plum 2-ply paper, and exclusively features gold matte foil. The result is ornate and lavish, and makes the perfect addition to this invitation suite. The couple printed two versions of the details card (only one is pictured). One version included details regarding the rehearsal dinner, eliminating the need for a standalone rehearsal dinner invitation, allowing for a more streamlined invitation suite.
