It’s easy to get into the holiday spirit with these winter inspired Alpine (by Beth Ann Seal) letterpress wedding invitations. Who could help but fall in love with a wedding invitation that begins…”In the spirit of peace and joy this holiday season”?  This suite radiates warm sunshine, because we can’t help but shake the good vibes when looking at each piece. We feel a warm embrace on the coldest of winters nights when we talk about this stunning set! We always love a pop of color and the cardinal ink is absolute perfection paired with pale gray. We can almost see the snowflakes falling!  We promise that this romantic set will charm you.

Earlier this year, we worked with Alice and Beth from Alice G. Patterson Photography on an amazing project we’re really excited to share. Featured recently on Green Wedding Shoes, this collaboration features some of our most popular letterpress invitation designs alongside some incredible miniatures. Alice and Beth set up these picturesque scenes and we were completely blown away with the end result — take a look!

We are delighted to share these Joie de Vivre (by Kamal) letterpress wedding invitations submitted to us by our friends at Judy Paulen Designs in New York, NY.  This stylish set definitely has a cutting-edge vibe. We feel that the perfect pairing of mediterranean and pale gray inks is out of this world.  We think you will agree that this design lives up to its name-as the French phrase, “Joie de Vivre” translates to “a carefree enjoyment of life.” This set is customized with fuchsia edge paint and a stellar envelope liner to match!

You really cannot get anymore romantic than this String Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation customization submitted to us by Social Graces in Nashville, Tennessee. The whimsical style of Harrison hand calligraphy, by Patricia Mumau, looks weightless in pale gray and shell inks. It’s airy, sweet, and oh so lovely! The Bella Figura team fell in love with this design’s soft simplicity – so we just had to have it place second in our design contest.

Erin, from Social Graces, surprised us with STUNNING photos from this wedding (thank you, thank you) and we were all blown away! The invitation fit this bride’s vision perfectly! From the detailed lace dress to the luscious, monochromatic flowers, this wedding looked like a dream!

Alisha, the beautiful bride, fills us in on her and her husband’s perfect wedding day and how they chose the String Calligraphy Design:

“Picking out my wedding invitations and paper goods was one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process! I’ve always been a sucker for art, crafts, and design, so choosing the perfect invitations for my wedding was a very fun experience. The look I had in mind for our wedding was something whimsical, rustic, organic and vintage. While searching for the perfect invitation to reflect our farm wedding, I fell in love with Bella Figura’s String Calligraphy and couldn’t settle for anything else! The invitation that I chose struck me because of simplicity, uniqueness, and whimsical feel. I loved the softness and romantic touch that the pale gray and shell color inks gave off. The colors reflected our wedding color scheme perfectly – a soft palette of pale pinks and grays.

The invitation, featured in Pale Gray and Shell inks on our 1-ply white cotton paper, has matching reply postcards and detail cards in Pale Gray which complete the gorgeous set.

Over the next few weeks our esteemed lead client coordinator Tiffany is going to be sharing wedding inspiration from the movies. Today, an unexpected source of absolutely beautiful wedding colors – Jaws!

One of the very few movies I cannot pass by if it’s on television – I will drop everything and watch it in it’s entirety. This color palette is sophisticated and ocean-like, proving inspiration can come from unexpected places!

New from our 2011 collection, Hoxton is modern and industrial when paired with a neutral color palette of charcoal, pewter, pale gray and taupe combined with pops of geranium for a chic and sophisticated urban wedding. (Photo credits – letterpress invitations + love + dress + couch.)

For this color palette we were dreaming in shades of winter neutrals with wedding colors of charcoal, sand, taupe, powder blue and pale gray to accompany our Amici letterpress wedding invitations. (Photo credits: wedding invitations + balsa wood bouquet + macarons + winter decor.)

We printed these cute letterpress baby announcements earlier this year to celebrate the birth of little Isaac. They feature our Weber design printed in pale gray and cloud 9 inks and were designed to accommodate a wallet-sized photo. We can’t think of anything quite as special as a letterpress baby announcement to welcome a new addition to the family and we find these one particularly adorable.
