Hilary and Andrew created these dreamy letterpress invitations for their Italian villa wedding. This invitation suite has a rustic, artisanal feel and is brimming with old-world elegance. The couple worked with our dear friend Mel from Arni Paperie to create these luxurious and romantic letterpress invitations.

Our handmade paper is specially made for us and features a soft texture and deckled edges. The deckled edges are the result of the papermaking process and add charm and an artisanal quality to the overall design. Our handmade paper holds a crisp letterpress impression, and the terracotta color is a recent addition to our paper lineup. The terracotta paper of the invitation is paired with the deep tone of our walnut text envelope to reinforce the natural and sun-washed look of the Tuscan venue.

Invitation

• fonts: margarita script + sauvage + karin

The typography features a combination of refined serif fonts and a flowing script font to create a sophisticated, romantic contrast. The gentle swashes and curves of the margarita script font add movement and a classic feel.

The talented bride created the sketches of the venue on the invitation, and the artwork featured on the folding details card. This is a lovely personal touch that highlights the charming details of this destination wedding.
