NYC-Inspired Letterpress Wedding Invitations

We created a custom pattern just for these NYC-inspired letterpress wedding invitations. The pattern appears on two of the cards in the suite and makes a charming envelope liner. The couple, Colby and Matt, worked with our Bella Figura NYC store, and we are so happy they did.

The three-color letterpress invitation is printed on our 2-ply Bella smooth cotton stock, so it holds a deep impression. The couple had the idea for the custom pattern, and we brought their vision to life. Individual motifs representing iconic images from NYC were placed together, creating the pattern. A border appears in acadia letterpress ink, between the pattern in French blue and the text in cherry blossom ink. This border is reminiscent of the Greek Revival architecture of the venue, the Cipriani Wall Street.

The reply card is letterpress printed in cherry blossom ink and features a delicate floral border. The ink color coordinates with the ribbon tied around the invitation.

The welcome party card closely mimics the design of the invitation. The same NYC-inspired custom pattern appears, but a thick, solid line border separates the pattern from the text.
