An earthy color palette, minimalist composition, and romantic touches have us swooning over these modern square letterpress wedding invitations. While the invitation has a minimalist vibe, all of the supporting elements add intrigue. We worked with our dear friend Lindsey of Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts to create this lovely wedding stationery suite.
Makale and Joshua chose to customize our Derian design. The invitation is sophisticated and modern thanks to the square card and mostly serif fonts. The way the text flows is subtle, yet it gives the design a refined edge. Plenty of white space definitely proves that less is more.

All of the pieces maintain the same fonts and typography for consistency, but they take the design in a more romantic direction. The reply card was inspired in part by our Harkness rehearsal dinner invitation. A loose botanical border frames the text, while an arch die-cut shape keeps the look refined and modern. The rehearsal dinner invitation features white digital printing on our moss stock for a look that is trendy yet formal.

The envelope liner is all about texture and features a blind-embossed floral pattern on our Bella velvet in sage. The soft velvet is tactile all on its own, while the raised printing adds even more dimension. The pattern itself is relatively simple, keeping it aligned with the minimalist aesthetic.
These modern square letterpress wedding invitations strike a nice balance between contemporary minimalism and romantic vintage garden style, making them especially fitting for an intimate, design-forward wedding. Are you taken with the look of an embossed velvet envelope liner, or do you love a sleek, streamlined aesthetic? Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding stationery.
Bold geometric design and sophisticated typography ensure that Bryana and Bradley’s modern color blocking wedding invites stand out for all of the right reasons. This suite embraces a clean, vibrant aesthetic that is perfect for a celebration held in the restaurant above the Museum of Arts and Design. We are so happy this couple worked with our dear friend Tracey of Written and Wrapped to bring their contemporary invitation suite to life.

The invitation features a striking, high-contrast palette of our plum and flamingo letterpress ink on our amethyst paper. The color combination is playful and elevates the look. Rather than relying on florals or ornamental details, the design uses geometric shapes, crisp borders, and bold color blocking to create visual interest. This modern design is juxtaposed with the traditional technique of letterpress printing. Our 2-ply color paper holds a deep, crisp impression, introducing a tactile element to the design.
A contemporary serif font with dramatic strokes gives the names a fashionable prominence, while clean sans-serif text provides balance and readability. The restrained use of typography allows the vivid colors to remain the focal point.

For their wedding stationery, Katrina and John envisioned something modern and minimalist, yet still soft, with an emphasis on their wedding venue in Southern Italy. The couple worked with our dear friend Carolyn from Just Paper and Tea to create the perfect Mediterranean wedding invitations.
Our Kailua design was a great starting point. Instead of the seaside scene of the inspiration design, the couple opted to showcase imagery of the venue, Masseria Le Torri in Polignano a Mare. It blends clean contemporary design with organic, Old World texture. The look is effortless but still very much intentional. The monochromatic ink choice of our vine letterpress over clover digital gives it cohesion and calm. The color palette also evokes the coastal landscape and olive trees that dot the region.
The layout plays with scale and adds depth. Bold, large-format names in all uppercase create a presence and structure. In contrast to the delicate body text, for visual drama. The same font appears throughout for simplicity and consistency.

The events and details cards maintain the same look. Instead, both cards feature an illustration of a prickly pear cactus, which also grows in the area. The envelope liner features the same illustration. It leans coastal Mediterranean, which keeps the look modern and location-driven.

There’s something striking about an invitation with a crisp letterpress impression that we can’t get enough of. Samantha and David’s modern pewter letterpress wedding invitations are no exception to that! The couple worked with our flagship store to create this contemporary yet moody suite. Similarly to the invitation, the reply and rehearsal dinner cards printed in Pewter created further consistency. To contrast, the information card printed in Silver Matte with a Bella Black backdrop gave this set an element of surprise. Prism Shine foil edging added around the outside of the invitation created a pop of color that would wow guests. Finally, a Bella Black envelope lined with a marble pattern enclosed this modern yet moody suite.
