Modern Surf + Chartreuse Letterpress Wedding invitations

Kristy and Sam chose a bold color combination of chartreuse, pewter and surf inks for their modern letterpress wedding invitations and save the dates. Their invitation suite featured our Farmstand invitation design, and consisted of an invitation, reply card, save the date, folded thank you notes, and coordinating envelopes. Reminiscent of a vintage seed packet, we love the sueded, vintage look of the stripes on this design. A chartreuse envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern tied the entire set together.

Country Club Wedding featuring Leigha Spring wedding invitations

We love the way Claire and Brenden infused pops of cobalt blue throughout their country club wedding – from the ink on their Leigha Spring invitation suite right down to the shoes of the groomsmen! Their outdoor ceremony had an amazing view of Phoenix, Maryland and their cake featured fresh hydrangeas reminiscent of the ones on their invitations. Claire worked with The Pleasure of Your Company for her Bella Figura stationery, which featured letterpress printing in cobalt ink on our white Bella Cotton paper, corner rounding, and a beautiful invitation envelope complete with petite dot envelope liners and a decorative floral flap.

Romantic Winter Wedding in New York City

Lauren and David chose our Charmed New York design to start spreading the news for their New York City wedding. The couple printed their NYC inspired save the dates in gold matte foil, and chose classic black ink for their New Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitations. Since the couple met and fell in love in the city, a wedding in the big apple was a must. After their ceremony at the Church of the Incarnation, the bride and groom surprised their guests with double-decker  buses for a quick tour through the city before the reception! At the reception, the view from Studio 450’s penthouse loft space gave guests an amazing view of the skyline. A sparkler send off at the end of the night made for a beautiful end to this romantic winter wedding. To see more details and photos, head over to Style Me Pretty.
