We just adore these recently printed letterpress wedding invitations in our Lumos design (by Ben Whitla). The couple chose to adhere their invitation to a striking black pocketfold. These brilliant pocketfold enclosures hold the couples website card. We love how pronounced the bride and groom’s names look in black ink and the antique gold ink makes for an excellent pairing! Perfect for a black and white wedding theme, these invitations have a spot-on contemporary feel (and check out their save the dates in a previous post)!

We are absolutely smitten with these Commodore (by Lindsy Aragona) letterpress wedding invitations that our friends from Gus & Ruby in Portsmouth, New Hampshire submitted for us to print! Shown with a pairing of our navy and stunning antique gold inks-this invitation has just a touch of elegance. A perfect antique gold envelope liner makes us think of a sandy shore just off of the harbor. We see this used for an nautical New England wedding!

We absolutely love it when a Bella Figura couple sends us their wedding pictures featuring their letterpress wedding invitations. Today we have the privilege to show you a Real (local) Wedding from Syracuse! Christian and Giovanna chose our sophisticated Pavilion (by Amy Graham Stigler) design in Espresso and Dusty Pink inks on our 1-ply ivory paper. They carried the floral theme all the way through with delicate hand painted porcelain vessels wedding favors.
Hendricks Chapel was the perfect location to exchange rings and vows. Giovanna’s family traveled from Italy to witness their love.
These striking photos were taken at Syracuse University – one of the many gorgeous locations in our lovely city.

Want to share with your guests that your letterpress invitations are eco? We offer a (free!) eco message letterpressed tastefully on the back of your invitation (in one of the invitation’s ink colors). We keep the impression very light so the letterpress will not show through the front. Our eco specs say, “letterpressed with wind power | tree free paper (100% reclaimed cotton)vegetable-oil based ink | old cast iron presses | love.” We think it is a subtle way to spread our message with the ones you love!

Our recent love for the Mediterranean ink color trend grows with this elegant design customization of our Delambre Classic letterpress invitation. Paired with cool Pewter ink, this traditional design is modernized with a trendy two color combination! Calligraphy accents by Sarah Hanna bring a feminine touch. The calligraphy monogram was replaced with a font monogram (2A) from our monogram library which helped keep costs low but still made for a beautiful design. You can add a monogram from our font library (for free!) to any of our invitations. The set is complete with a timeless Rustic Crosshatch envelope liner also in Mediterranean ink!

The perfect precursor to what’s sure to be a gorgeous vintage-chic outdoor wedding, this customization of our Victrola Letterpress design has got everybody here at the shop… spinning. Pressed in Deep Blue and Pool on our 1-ply ivory paper, the old school typography, cool hues, and ornate flourishes really lend this set some sick traditional Americana vibe. Two color printing throughout the set (even on the envelopes) really helps to keep things cohesive and well balanced.
