Contemporary typography, understated luxury, and meaningful personal details give Alexandra and Conner’s letterpress invitations a sophisticated feel while remaining timeless. This couple customized our Province design, making it their own. Our dear friend Alyssa of Erganic Design helped the couple create their perfect letterpress invitations, brimming with lovely details.

The layout embraces generous white space, allowing each design element to be admired and enjoyed. The beauty of this design comes from the restraint and subtle contrast. A mix of oversized, artistic initials creating a distinctive monogram and delicate serif fonts is a refined design feature.

Burgundy shine foil showcases the bevel edge while adding some glimmer. A tag bearing the invitation’s monogram, this time blind-embossed, is secured to the invitation with metallic cranberry thread. The shimmer of the metallic thread beautifully coordinates with the foil edging.

The vintage-style map envelope liner is a darling addition. A heart motif marks the location of the wedding and reception venue for a charming personal detail.

The auxiliary cards in this wedding stationery suite are just as stunning as the invite. The details card features letterpress printing on our velvet stock. Velvet adds a lovely texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The use of our deep blue letterpress ink on our French blue velvet creates a stunning tonal look.

The rehearsal dinner invitation is a masterclass in minimalism. Blind debossing on our Bella cotton 1-ply paper mimics the look of tonal printing while showcasing the depth of the debossing and the stock’s soft texture. Utilizing letterpress printing in our deep blue ink for the remaining text maintains consistency across the rest of the suite.
