We are loving the neon color wedding trend so when we saw our Modern Fete design (by Amy Graham Stigler) letterpressed in aubergine and our day-glo ink we fell in love! The pop of color enhances the whimsical feeling that this modern design offers. Edge painting in day-glo ink also makes it super special.

Fireworks, sailing, vintage trucks and hot summer days can inspire an Americana wedding. We used deep blues and reds on this Modern Fete customization for an “oh beautiful for spacious skies” look!

Our Modern Fete is a new 2012 design (by Amy Graham Stigler) and our hearts stopped when we saw this jaw-dropping customization featuring our new jade letterpress ink and silver matte foil! The shimmery foil and bursts of unexpected color make this the perfect summer invitation for a lovely couple. If you want to make a statement consider the printing combination of letterpress and foil.

Our new collection of letterpress wedding invitations has arrived, and we’ve introduced 83 new invitation designs (plus metallics: foil stamping, foil edging and lots of other cool new embellishments!) for the 2012 wedding season. Since everything at Bella Figura is completely customizable, we thought we’d show you a ‘before and after’ look at some of our favorite new invitation designs to show how a change of color, fonts, and design placement can completely transform an invitation design.

First up: the La Salle invitation design by Ian Koenig. The original design is soft and romantic in camel + pewter inks, and features three fonts, but takes on a completely regal look with new inks (regalia and charcoal), corner rounding, and new fonts: Vessa + Jubilant.
Suggested embellishments: We think this design would look gorgeous with a European formal patterned envelope liner in regalia ink and a coordinating custom postage stamp.

Next up: Rustic Jolene – an earthy design with a folk-art feel – is completely transformed with a drastic (but gorgeous) change in design placement. Prussian blue and cornflower blue inks create a stunning two-tone effect, and the square size, corner rounding, and sophisticated fonts complete the look.
Suggested embellishments: a white cotton pocketfold with a monogram letterpress printed in Prussian blue would add a nice finishing touch, along with an envelope liner in our woodstock pattern in cornflower + Prussian blue inks.

Rococo Elegance, created by Beth Barr, one of our new designers for 2012, takes on a more floral feel in this elegant customization. Hand calligraphy accents and ivory paper give the design a soft, romantic feel.
Suggested embellishments: keep it simple with a European formal patterned envelope liner in taupe ink.
Details: letterpress inks: light peach + taupe | font: botany | paper: bella cotton ivory 1-ply | size: f-8 | hand calligraphy accents: spencerian style | corner rounding

We’re excited to start off the new year with a bit of glitz! Our Modern Fete letterpress design is fun and festive with it’s bursts of color reminiscent of confetti and tinsel that just shout a good time! For a touch of sparkle, swap our navy and fuchsia letterpress inks for indigo and purple shine metallic foils.
