Impeccably elegant in antique gold ink on our luxury 2-ply cotton paper these letterpress invitations, our Amor design, boast the stunning calligraphy of Sarah Hanna. With pretty antique gold edge painting and a perfectly suited antique gold envelope liner, they are as romantic as they are charmingly fanciful.




We’re back from our first ever appearance at the National Stationery Show where we were blown away by the response to our new letterpress wedding album. We had the most amazing time. Much love to all of the awesome retailers who dropped by to say hello and check us out! Here’s a little peak of what the booth looked like – you can visit our sister company Smock for a full recap! We’ll see you back here next week for renewed inspirations and lots of letterpress love. Happy weekend!


For the first time ever, Bella Figura will be at this year’s National Stationery Show! If you’re attending the show, drop by and say hello! We’ll be in booth 2241 with our BFF Smock.

In honor of today’s much anticipated royal wedding, we’re channeling our inner Brits and dreaming of gorgeous wedding hats and fascinators.

This gorgeous real wedding, first featured on Style Me Pretty, features an absolutely beautiful Bella Figura couple and a stunning Philadelphia wedding at Hotel Palomar. Christine and Michael chose our Bejeweled letterpress invitations, printed in antique gold and amethyst inks, to kick off their celebration. From there, all the details were impossibly elegant with a dash of modern glamor. Bella Figura calligrapher Patricia Mumau of Primele penned gorgeous place cards and calligraphy menus and the incredible Jesse and Whit of Our Labor of Love took some of the most gorgeous wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Much love and best wishes to you both, Christine and Michael, and thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful wedding!

More gorgeous Mediterranean ink made an appearance with these stunning letterpress invitations in our Peacock Full design. Paired with bright spring green, this color combination is both vibrant and sophisticated. To complete the suite, pretty letterpress place cards for the reception were printed to match.




We’ve spied a recent color trend centered on our gorgeous Mediterranean ink, showcased here on a Ribbon letterpress save the date. The color is cool and watery and plays nicely at weddings both formal and casual, modern and traditional. We just can’t get enough of these awesome save the dates!


Printed in elegant wine and antique gold inks, these letterpress invitations show off our Majorca design. We love the regal feel of these invitations, pairing a horizontal orientation with pretty script and a sophisticated color combination.

While thinking about all things spring and summer (like fresh lemonade and long walks on the beach), we started reminiscing about the super cool letterpress stationery we printed for engage!10 last year. The letterpress menus and matching escort cards feature a fun customization of our Esperanza letterpress invitations, printed in punchy aquamarine and yellow inks. Along with great summery colors inspired by the tropics, we’re now also obsessing over mango creme brulee! We’ve got to get our hands on some of that!
