If you’re dreaming of shimmering metallics and elaborate tablescapes for your big day, we have just the wedding invitation for you! Our Whisper invitation design flaunts the bride and groom in a bold way: an oversized font makes their names stand out, while the remaining invitation text is simple yet extremely sophisticated.

Our letterpress wedding invitations have received some amazing publicity lately, so today it’s time again to say thank you to the amazing editors who have shined the spotlight on Bella Figura this spring! Our first feature is from Martha Stewart Weddings, where we created foil stamped and letterpress wedding invitations for one of their gorgeous real weddings. Megan, the bride, submitted the artwork for us to print — we love the glamorous outcome!

Inside Weddings featured our Pinterest-inspired design, A Bientot, in their spring 2013 issue.

Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton Magazine featured an elegant customization of our Amor design by Sarah Hanna in their January – June 2013 issue.
Several of our letterpress wedding invitations were featured in the spring issue of The Knot: our popular gold foil stamped Divya Formal invitation, the modern Dash invitation, and our minimalist Alton invitation were all shown throughout this issue.

Brides magazine featured Bella Figura in several of their recent issues: first, a lovely lavender customization of our Lenox Botanical design was featured in the April / May issue, along with menus, place cards, and favor cards from our Circolo suite.

Sometimes all a letterpress invitation design needs is a little tweak to add a unique and personal touch. That was the case for the Lush design. LetterHeads changed the font and added some silver edge painting on the invitation and that’s all it took to make this design the perfect choice!
inks: sand + charcoal | fonts: parisian script + copperplate | paper: 2-ply white | printing: letterpress | edge painting in metallic silver | metallic liner: silver | invite size: F-8 | customization #: 16020 |

A simple fruit like the sweet and juicy summer peach can be used as inspiration for your wedding color palette, decor, menu and invitations. A simple, yet adorable, peach motif, taken from the Charlotte suite, is shown here in a 1-color watermelon letterpress customization.
