We had the pleasure of working with Katharine and Samuel every step of the way, from their save-the-dates to the day-of pieces. This invitation suite blends formal elegance with pastoral charm, creating a look that feels both luxurious and deeply personal. This couple, who held their wedding at Blue Hill Stone Barns, worked with our dear friend Ashley, of Ashley Douglass Events, to create this polished, romantic, and thoughtfully curated wedding stationery.

First up, the couple chose to customize our Payton Save the Date. The original design features an A-5 card featuring handmade paper duplexed to an A-6 made from Bella smooth cotton. Katharine and Samuel replicated the look, while making it their own. Their version features our Bella Cotton paper, which has a decadent, pillowy texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The alternating strip pattern for the border is casual and somewhat preppy, with a hint of vintage sentiment.

The green color palette is calming and perfect for a late summer wedding at a bucolic farm estate. The couple’s names are printed in Spruce, while the remaining letterpress printing is done in a slightly lighter shade, Acadia, ensuring the names take center stage.

The invitation is both formal and traditional, featuring a symmetrical layout with ample spacing, creating a clean, luxurious look. The ornate script font for the couple’s names features dramatic flourishes which are offset by the delicate serif font used for the remaining text.

The border pattern from the save-the-date is repeated on the invitation’s envelope liner, except this time it is a two-color pattern. Adding a second color elevates the look while carrying over the style and influence of the original inspiration.

Darling botanical line illustrations set the rehearsal dinner invitation apart. The delicate meadow-inspired artwork features a high level of detail, beautifully displayed when letterpress-printed on our Bella cotton 2-ply paper.

The menu is downright charming. Our Spruce paper coordinates with the established colorway, while Spruce and Holly digital inks give this unique menu an on-trend monochromatic look. The cow die-cut shape is playful and whimsical, and perfect for a menu of a wedding reception held at a farm. The cow silhouette immediately introduces a sense of personality, while the restrained color palette keeps the overall aesthetic sophisticated rather than rustic.
