Megan and Manuel worked with our dear friend Hollis of Bering’s to create their stunning letterpress and foil-stamped wedding invitations. They chose to customize our Matilde design for their Colorado nuptials. The final design features unique details that speak to the couple and set the tone for their special day.

The intricate frame on the invitation appears in our sea mist letterpress ink. The light color allows the text, which appears in gold matte foil stamping, to stand out. The three fonts work together perfectly to introduce a fanciful, playful vibe while still maintaining a formal feel. The floral and foliage artwork beautifully coordinates with the garden elements of the artwork featured as the envelope liner.

The envelope liner features La Primavera, an artwork by Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. The painting, believed to have been completed between 1477 and 1482, is located in a gallery in Florence and depicts a group of mythological figures in a lush garden setting. The painting is often interpreted as being a celebration of love.

The frame from the invitation was reimagined for the reply card. Breaking apart the artwork and using components of it in two corners maintains the consistency and formality without being identical. The reply card features the same fonts used in tandem to create an eccentric feel, perfectly suited for this whimsical affair.
