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!

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!

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.
