Nature-Inspired Letterpress and Blind Emboss Invitations

letterpress wedding stationery

It’s hard even to know where to start with this lovely nature-inspired letterpress suite. Layers of green, sophisticated typography, and fun die cuts all work together to give this suite a fresh, earthy, organic feel that still commands a sense of formality. The design perfectly complements their venue, The Troutbeck. It was a joy to help Sophie and Charles design their stunning wedding stationery, and it was even more of a delight to print this suite.

Everything about this design feels intentional but effortless. An elegant, flowing script font for the couple’s names is romantic. The mix of serif and sans-serif fonts for the supporting text is clean and contemporary. Blind emboss floral artwork centered at the top adds organic charm. Embossing creates a raised area that offers a fun contrast to letterpress printing, which is pressed into the thick 2-ply paper. The finishing touch on the invitation is a tag bearing a custom monogram. The way the couple’s initials are connected is simple and endearing. The tag is secured to the invitation with a jute ribbon (supplied by the client), providing yet another tactile element.

The reply card is on our mint paper and features a floral pattern letterpress printed in mint ink. The coordinating ink and paper create a delightful, subtle, on-trend tonal look. The text is letterpress-printed in hunter, providing greater contrast and readability.

The details card swaps the invitation’s color palette and features white matte foil-stamping on our moss 2-ply paper. This reversal maintains the look and feel of the overall design, while mixing things up. The floral artwork from the invitation and reply card is transformed into a border that hugs the oval shape.

The rehearsal dinner invitation is a vibe. The scalloped-edge die-cut shape is whimsical, and the letterpress-printed border in lime-aid highlights curves while introducing a vibrant burst of color. This card is refined yet bold and lively.

The monogram from the tag also appears on the flat thank you card. The circular border is reminiscent of the tag’s shape.
