We were delighted to work with Sydney and Leland on their letterpress wedding invitation and day-of pieces, having had the pleasure of helping this couple create their stunning save the date. The minimalist design had an understated elegance that perfectly set the tone for their stunning nuptials held at a quintessential NYC venue.
The invitation is printed on our 2-ply cotton paper, which has a soft texture and holds a deep letterpress impression. The spruce letterpress ink perfectly coordinates with the spruce edge painting on the invitation and the envelope.

The invitation beautifully coordinates with the streamlined design of the couple’s save the date, featuring the same fonts and aesthetic. We previously highlighted the save the date, which includes artwork based on the venue, The Weylin.

The detailed artwork from the save the date made another appearance on the back of the circular die-cut escort card. This was a charming detail guests could enjoy while at the iconic venue. With the exception of the domed fresco-inspired artwork, the entire suite is typography-focused. Featuring the geometric artwork on the escort cards only highlights this feature, making it more special and eye-catching.

The remaining cards are printed on Bella color papers and feature a coordinating ink for a trendy yet elegant tone-on-tone look. The monochromatic look and bold colors of the day-of pieces were the perfect complement to the floral arrangements and table settings.

Tiler and Roman chose our Fairefolk design for their big day. This design perfectly coordinated with their reception venue and quintessential NYC eatery, Tavern on the Green. The bold sans-serif font of the original was replaced with a refined script font, giving the invitation a more classic feel. The bride and groom’s names, ceremony location, and part of the border are featured in gold matte foil, further elevating the look. Our bright white 2-ply paper provides a lovely contrast to the vine letterpress ink and holds a deep impression. A silk ribbon tied in a bow adds a decadent finishing touch.
From the bride, “Claudia designs the stationery for her clients, and that made the process so easy for us. She presented me with the design we used, worked on the wording, timing, etiquette, mailing, and all the little details. Bella Figura is one of her print partners, and they did all the graphic elements as well as all the printing. You really notice the beautiful quality of the letterpress printing, the hand-dyed silk ribbons, and all the custom work in everything from our invitations to our menu cards. The deadlines and details are really stressful, and Claudia just made it easy. We love the way the elements all tie together and are perfect for our summer wedding in Central Park!”
The arch design of the invitation is repeated throughout the suite on the reception card, as well as on the menu and program. While the folkart-inspired pattern found on the invitation border and the envelope liner appears more fully on the front of the gatefold menu and the interior of the program cover. The program stays true to the theme, but mixes things up slightly by featuring digital printing in vine on spruce 1-ply. The overall look is chic and perfect for the garden-themed reception.
