Printed in cheerful fuchsia and persimmon inks, this set features our Esperanza letterpress wedding invitation design, new from our 2010 collection. The couple also opted for a bright fuchsia pocketfold and matching envelope liner. In addition to the invitations, we also printed their letterpress programs, escort cards and personalized thank you notes for a complete suite that is vibrant, colorful and perfectly celebratory.

Earlier in the year we were excited to be contacted by one of our favorite bloggers and stylists, Anne Sage of The City Sage, about collaborating on a Pride & Prejudice themed photo shoot for Nonpareil Magazine. Needless to say, this was one opportunity we couldn’t pass up! We printed letterpress wedding invitations, menus and escort cards all in our Cameo design, which features a sweet vintage-inspired silhouette design. (Our favorite part about Cameo? We customize it with your silhouettes at no charge!) We printed all of the pieces in celadon and cream inks for a soft, romantic feel just perfect for a wedding at Pemberley Estate. The shoot was designed around the concept of a wedding breakfast reception and the reply cards asked guests to write in their request for a favorite waltz.

See the shoot here in Nonpareil Magazine and stay tuned tomorrow for many more photos right here!

We love these letterpress wedding invitations, a customization of Vendage, one of our new designs for 2010. We printed these in garden and champagne inks and then edge painted them in papaya. The reply card is a 1-color letterpress design printed in garden ink and all of the pieces are tucked inside an envelope featuring a champagne liner. We just adore this combination of bright summery colors paired with the botanical design and sweet little birds, perfect for a warm summer wedding.

If our array of calligraphy letterpress wedding invitations didn’t tip you off, we’re big time calligraphy fans around here. There is just something so pretty about hand lettered calligraphy when it’s letterpress printed on our cotton paper. In this case, it’s our Modern Calligraphy design printed in navy ink and paired with an envelope boasting a cheerful fuchsia liner. It’s the perfect blend of traditional and modern elements, yet so simple and sophisticated. We just can’t get enough.

Penned exclusively for us by calligrapher Patricia Mumau, our String Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation design is becoming a fast favorite among our new 2010 designs. Each invitation is lovingly hand written by Patricia and then letterpressed by Bella Figura, making each piece a truly personalized creation. This customization is printed in navy ink and features edge painting in fuchsia for a delightfully modern interpretation of a very traditional craft.

With spring just around the corner, we are in love with all things pink right now! Pink is making a comeback in 2010, the new “it” color for the spring and summer wedding season. From blush pink to fuchsia, from shell to azalea, pink can be feminine and girly, but it can also be incredibly sophisticated and unsurpassed in elegance. All of our letterpress wedding invitations can be customized in the pink shade of your choice to set just the right tone for your event. Below, a few of our favorite pink invitation designs: Antoinette, Rangoli, Fleur de Lys, Somersby, Birds and Cameo.

Threaded is another of our new letterpress wedding invitation designs for 2010 so we were particularly excited to print this customization for a wedding in Morocco. This invitation design was printed in a sophisticated pairing of pewter and taupe inks for a look that is both modern and very chic.

Another of our new designs for our 2010 collection, this invitation design is a customization of our Lana letterpress wedding invitation design. The pieces are printed in chartreuse and amethyst inks, paired with an amethyst envelope liner and features a script font inspired by handwriting. We love customizing designs for our clients and this lovely Lana customization is a great example of how playing with fonts and ink colors can create a dramatically different look, perfect for whatever the size, shape and color of your event.

Our Victoria Calligraphy design, penned exclusively for us by renowned calligrapher Sarah Hanna, is one of seven new calligraphy letterpress wedding invitations we introduced with our 2010 collection. The opportunity to print this for the first time for one of our Bella Figura clients was an absolute joy. This couple chose classic black ink for the letterpress invitation itself and opted for a modern punch of color in our Tiffany Blue ink for the reply card insert. We love how this set turned out and just can’t get enough of Sarah’s beautiful work.

This letterpress wedding invitation suite is one we actually printed last year for a wedding in the beautiful Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. It’s such a favorite of ours we thought we’d share it to help inspire those of you who might be planning waterfront weddings of your own this year. This is a customization of our Sailboat design printed in navy and garden inks. Along with the letterpress invitation and reply card, there are several inserts including an accommodations card and a rehearsal dinner invitation, all of which are bundled up in a navy belly band in an envelope that is also lined in navy. We love everything about this set from the fun color combination to the way it has us dreaming of the beautiful summers in Upstate New York.
