Calligrapher Kelle McCarter of designsgirl, who recently designed two gorgeous new calligraphy letterpress wedding invitations for our 2010 collection, was featured on one of our favorite wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty, this week! Kelle’s beautiful calligraphy was a part of a gorgeous photoshoot that was a collaboration between a handful of incredibly talented wedding vendors for a recent From Inspiration to Reality feature on Style Me Pretty. For more of Kelle’s beautiful work, check out her Bescal and Sobelle calligraphy invitation designs for Bella Figura.

Last year we had the opportunity to print beautiful letterpress wedding invitations for the fall wedding of Ashley and Christian. Today we are thrilled that their wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty! Married at Houston’s First Presbyterian Church with the reception following at The Junior League of Houston, Ashley and Christian created an incredibly elegant affair that was the perfect blend of old world charm and modern sophistication.

Ashley and Christian chose our timeless Classic Calligraphy design for their letterpress invitations, printed in espresso and featuring a custom blind deboss monogram. Printed on our ivory cotton paper, the final look is nothing short of perfectly refined and elegant. For much more of Ashley and Christian’s wedding, as photographed by their amazing photographer Tanja Lippert, make sure to visit Style Me Pretty.

Congratulations Ashley and Christian and thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful wedding with Style Me Pretty readers!

Bella Figura has just become part of Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book. Hooray! In SMP’s words, “The Little Black Book shows off the most innovative and chic wedding professionals on the planet” and we couldn’t agree more. It’s an excellent and very curated list of the best wedding vendors nationwide and internationally. Michelle, the gatekeeper for the Little Black Book, mentioned she receives over 300 emails a day, many from vendors requesting a spot in the LBB, so we’re just thrilled to be included in this important wedding resource.

Below is a photo montage we made for SMP, featuring some of our favorite letterpress things of late.
