Royal Wedding Style – Fascinated by Fascinators
In honor of today’s much anticipated royal wedding, we’re channeling our inner Brits and dreaming of gorgeous wedding hats and fascinators. These stunning pieces from Ban Do’s Black Label collection fit the bill perfectly. A bit of drama, ample sophistication and the prettiest of details with tulle, feathers, beading and flowers galore.

Modern + Elegant Philly Real Wedding
This gorgeous real wedding, first featured on Style Me Pretty, features an absolutely beautiful Bella Figura couple and a stunning Philadelphia wedding at Hotel Palomar. Christine and Michael chose our Bejeweled letterpress invitations, printed in antique gold and amethyst inks, to kick off their celebration. From there, all the details were impossibly elegant with a dash of modern glamor. Bella Figura calligrapher Patricia Mumau of Primele penned gorgeous place cards and calligraphy menus and the incredible Jesse and Whit of Our Labor of Love took some of the most gorgeous wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Much love and best wishes to you both, Christine and Michael, and thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful wedding!
Avion Letterpress Takes Flight
Continuing our love affair with pretty shades of blue, these modern wedding invitations are a fresh take on our Avion letterpress invitations. They were printed in deep blue and pewter inks and designed for our popular square size. An accompanying website card details event information and fun letterpress escort cards complete the suite.
Wedding Color Palettes: Rustic Farmhouse Inspired
Inspired by our April Design of the Month – Cecilia by Jamie Lea Bertsch – this pretty color palette is perfect for a rustic chic wedding with homespun touches. Think family heirlooms, vintage lace and shades of mango, cream, French vanilla, taupe and antique gold.

Pretty Peacock in Mediterranean + Spring Green
More gorgeous Mediterranean ink made an appearance with these stunning letterpress invitations in our Peacock Full design. Paired with bright spring green, this color combination is both vibrant and sophisticated. To complete the suite, pretty letterpress place cards for the reception were printed to match.
A Ribbon of Mediterranean
We’ve spied a recent color trend centered on our gorgeous Mediterranean ink, showcased here on a Ribbon letterpress save the date. The color is cool and watery and plays nicely at weddings both formal and casual, modern and traditional. We just can’t get enough of these awesome save the dates!
Regally Inspired – Majorca in Wine + Antique Gold
Printed in elegant wine and antique gold inks, these letterpress invitations show off our Majorca design. We love the regal feel of these invitations, pairing a horizontal orientation with pretty script and a sophisticated color combination.
Funky Fresh Letterpress for Engage!
While thinking about all things spring and summer (like fresh lemonade and long walks on the beach), we started reminiscing about the super cool letterpress stationery we printed for engage!10 last year. The letterpress menus and matching escort cards feature a fun customization of our Esperanza letterpress invitations, printed in punchy aquamarine and yellow inks. Along with great summery colors inspired by the tropics, we’re now also obsessing over mango creme brulee! We’ve got to get our hands on some of that!
Wedding Color Palettes: Summery Pink + Peach
Our timeless and sophisticated Gracelyn Vintage letterpress invitations get a fresh summery style in shades of watermelon, shell, sherbet, light peach and sand for a classic yet spirited wedding celebration. (Photos – letterpress invitations + pink cake + lace wedding dress + pink peonies.)
Fuchsia + Turquoise Linnea Florals
Far and away one of our recent favorite designs is this pretty letterpress invitation, our Linnea design printed in fuchsia and turquoise inks. Maiko and Adam opted to have our eco specs printed on the reverse of their invitations (a free optional promotion!) to let their friends and family know about their own eco commitment. A bright and cheerful response card requesting replies be made at the couple’s website rounds out the suite, vibrant and festive for this Hawaii garden wedding.
