Printed in an elegant combination of pewter and cream inks, this letterpress wedding invitation is our Sylvan design. This customization was personalized so that the design has a horizontal orientation and features Hebrew text to make it especially appropriate for this couple’s wedding. We love the sophisticated neutral color palette and the simple typography on this design – it allows the beauty of letterpress to shine through while making an incredible first impression upon guests.
While we love printing letterpress wedding invitations, it’s always a treat to get to print a fabulous letterpress birthday party invitation. This version of our Flourish design is a great example of a great letterpress party invitation. It’s printed in mesa ink at our save the date size on our white cotton paper and we think it’s the perfect invitation for a festive 40th birthday celebration.
Our Guild letterpress wedding invitations are a perennial favorite among our Bella Figura designs and it’s probably pretty easy to see why – this design is as dramatic and striking as it is elegant and sophisticated. This particular customization was printed in navy and pale gray inks paired with a navy envelope liner, the perfect invitation suite for a formal evening wedding.
Our Windsor letterpress wedding invitation design is one of those you could call an oldie but a goodie. We just love this design and so do our clients! This customization is a Windsor letterpress save the date printed in yarrow and taupe inks with typography inspired by our Meadow design. Printed on our smaller reply card size, it’s also a great way to keep letterpress budget-friendly.
In bright happy colors perfect for spring and summer, this customization features our Anthology design from our 2010 collection printed in fuchsia and persimmon inks. The luxurious 2-ply cotton paper shows off the pop of color from the fuchsia edge painting, which is perfectly coordinated with a persimmon envelope liner. We love this suite – it’s vibrant and festive and the perfect fit for this couple’s upcoming Las Vegas wedding.
Penned exclusively for us by calligrapher Patricia Mumau, our String Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation design is becoming a fast favorite among our new 2010 designs. Each invitation is lovingly hand written by Patricia and then letterpressed by Bella Figura, making each piece a truly personalized creation. This customization is printed in navy ink and features edge painting in fuchsia for a delightfully modern interpretation of a very traditional craft.
We wanted to take a moment this afternoon to share a couple of recent Bella Figura mentions in the press. Canadian wedding magazine Weddingbells recently featured our Nigella and Lola letterpress wedding invitation designs in a pretty spread of stationery they called love letters. How sweet!
One of our lovely Bella Figura couples, Jennifer and Robert, had their wedding showcased in a recent issue of The Knot. We love the pretty navy and pink color palette and the gorgeous flowers. Jennifer and Robert used our Deveril design for their letterpress wedding invitations.
Thank you to our friends at Weddingbells and The Knot for recognizing Bella Figura!
Printed in aquamarine and papaya inks, we love this bright and cheerful customization of our Joy letterpress wedding invitation design from our 2010 collection. The couple included a letterpress directions card, printed in 1-color letterpress in aquamarine, and a letterpress reception card detailing all of the information about the celebration following their wedding ceremony. From the bright color combination to the pretty pairing of fonts, we love everything about this invitation suite.
Our Ashwell letterpress wedding invitation design is another design from our 2010 collection so we especially loved printing this beautiful invitation suite. Showcasing a lovely custom monogram, this customization is a classic pairing of black ink on our ivory cotton paper with corner rounding for the perfect finishing touch. The coordinating letterpress coasters are a perfect addition to any reception and carry the design details seamlessly through the event from start to finish.
A recent Bella Figura bride sent us photos of her beautiful letterpress wedding programs in action and we couldn’t resist sharing them. Ally and Chris used our Cartoccio design printed in espresso ink on our ivory cotton paper for their wedding invitations and their beautiful ceremony programs. We hole drilled the programs, which they later tied with pretty purple ribbon. We love how they turned out and it’s a joy for us to see photos of them from Ally and Chris’s big day. A big thank you to them for sharing and to their wedding photographer Jennifer Chase for the beautiful photos!

With spring just around the corner, we are in love with all things pink right now! Pink is making a comeback in 2010, the new “it” color for the spring and summer wedding season. From blush pink to fuchsia, from shell to azalea, pink can be feminine and girly, but it can also be incredibly sophisticated and unsurpassed in elegance. All of our letterpress wedding invitations can be customized in the pink shade of your choice to set just the right tone for your event. Below, a few of our favorite pink invitation designs: Antoinette, Rangoli, Fleur de Lys, Somersby, Birds and Cameo.
