Meaningful artwork woven throughout the design, a custom ink color, and velvet accents make this letterpress wedding suite deeply personal and absolutely gorgeous. Lara and Farhad had a lot of ideas for their save the dates and invitations, which were loosely inspired by our Gwynn design. The couple worked with our dear friend Tacha of Paper Place to create their stunning wedding stationery.

A botanical illustration the bride’s mother created is an integral part of the entire suite. The artwork became part of a monogram that adorns the belly band. The same artwork, with the floral sprigs flipped to create a heart, appears on the details card and on the envelope liner for both the save the date and the invitation. Custom artwork always elevates a design, but featuring artwork created by a loved one is extremely special and adds a personal, heartfelt touch.

The typography is unique and quirky but still refined. An elegant script font is paired with refined serif lettering, giving the suite a timeless quality. The couple’s first and last names alternate between the two fonts, for a look that is decidedly romantic, sophisticated, and slightly whimsical.

The save the date features letterpress printing on velvet. The ink is a custom, dark, muted green, creating a tonal look on our Bella asparagus velvet. The reverse side features a digitally printed photo of the couple on our smooth cotton stock. The invitation also features our smooth cotton paper on one side and asparagus velvet on the other. Although this time, the letterpress printing appears on the smooth cotton side. The velvet backing adds texture and maintains the luxurious aesthetic.

You can send us your custom artwork for your invitation design, or if you have an idea but need help with the illustration, we can help with that too. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect letterpress wedding suite.
