Everything about this NYC wedding is gorgeous and swoon-worthy. The bride and groom, Tiler and Roman, are both principal dancers with the NYC Ballet, and they have a beautiful love story. This couple worked with our dear friend, Claudia of the Wedding Library, to create their charming and exquisite garden-inspired NYC wedding invitation suite.

Tiler and Roman chose our Fairefolk design for their big day. This design perfectly coordinated with their reception venue and quintessential NYC eatery, Tavern on the Green. The bold sans-serif font of the original was replaced with a refined script font, giving the invitation a more classic feel. The bride and groom’s names, ceremony location, and part of the border are featured in gold matte foil, further elevating the look. Our bright white 2-ply paper provides a lovely contrast to the vine letterpress ink and holds a deep impression. A silk ribbon tied in a bow adds a decadent finishing touch.
From the bride, “Claudia designs the stationery for her clients, and that made the process so easy for us. She presented me with the design we used, worked on the wording, timing, etiquette, mailing, and all the little details. Bella Figura is one of her print partners, and they did all the graphic elements as well as all the printing. You really notice the beautiful quality of the letterpress printing, the hand-dyed silk ribbons, and all the custom work in everything from our invitations to our menu cards. The deadlines and details are really stressful, and Claudia just made it easy. We love the way the elements all tie together and are perfect for our summer wedding in Central Park!”
The arch design of the invitation is repeated throughout the suite on the reception card, as well as on the menu and program. While the folkart-inspired pattern found on the invitation border and the envelope liner appears more fully on the front of the gatefold menu and the interior of the program cover. The program stays true to the theme, but mixes things up slightly by featuring digital printing in vine on spruce 1-ply. The overall look is chic and perfect for the garden-themed reception.

We knew this was going to be special when our friend Kayla at Papermade Studio reached out to us about this completely one-of-a-kind celestial save the date. The couple, Caitlin and Matthew, wanted something that set the tone for their big day, and they certainly did just that.
The save the date has a classic look and boasts navy letterpress on our Bella smooth cotton, ivory 1-ply. The couple’s names appear in our Stipa Willington script font. A simple yet elegant border surrounds the text.

In addition to the save the date card, the couple also designed a custom bookmark. This bookmark is completely unique and sets this save the date set apart. One part of the bookmark features a poem the couple wrote that introduces the wedding theme: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The poem appears in navy letterpress on our smooth cotton ivory 1-ply, to coordinate with the card. The poem card is duplexed to our asparagus velvet, which features celestial artwork foil-stamped in gold matte.
This celestial save the date is inspired and unique, and it was a joy to bring this vision to life. This whimsical card and bookmark combo perfectly set the tone for the invitation to follow. We can help you create your dream save the date, or reach out to one of our talented dealers to see samples and swatches and receive expert guidance.
This custom-designed invitation features a one-of-a-kind watercolor crest digitally printed on a tag. The artwork is whimsical and holds a special meaning for the couple. This charming invitation set was brought to us by our dear friends from If It’s Paper. See all of the details of this lovely invitation suite.
The watercolor crest bears the bride and groom’s initials and darling portraits of their beloved dogs. The artwork is digitally printed on Bella smooth white cotton paper, die-cut into our Winston shape, and adhered to a vellum belly band that secures all of the cards in the suite.

Clover letterpress is perfect for this spring wedding, and our 2-ply paper holds a crisp impression. The 45-degree bevel edge nicely showcases the pastel pink edge painting. The invitation is perfectly formal, befitting a black-tie affair, while the custom-illustrated tag introduces a more personal element. The floral envelope liner features our Melrose pattern and coordinates with the floral accents on the crest.

This formal wedding invitation suite, which came to us from our dear friend Caitlin at Irving Place, is elegant but has hints of beachy, Old Florida charm. A customization of our Andras design, this letterpress invitation is formal yet fun.

The couple opted to use a serif font instead of the script font from the inspiration design. They kept the edge painting, but changed it to chambray, which coordinated with the letterpress printing.
The original design has a bit of a folk art-inspired feel, but this customization swaps that for some Old Florida charm. Instead of a patterned liner, the couple chose our metallic oyster text without printing. This understated liner is reminiscent of a sandy beach, subtly adding to the Florida vibe.

The reply card features a large flood of chambray letterpress, with the text created by the reverse or the areas without printing. The printing area is slightly smaller than the card, creating a wide, raised border, which adds to the elegance of the reply card. A stately palm tree motif is fun yet maintains a formal feel.

The details card is a whimsical die-cut. This cloud-shaped card features chambray letterpress for consistency across all the pieces in the suite. The letterpress printed border mimics the border on the reply card. The top of the details card is adorned with a modern duogram featuring the bride and groom’s first initials separated by a thin line. This duogram adds a personal touch while staying true to the minimalist and low-key vibe of the suite.

This breathtaking wedding invitation set features luxurious foil stamping and lovely hand calligraphy. Get the details about the custom invitation for this lavish affair held at Casa Miroquesada.
Hand calligraphy is a time-honored art form that remains a uniquely individual expression of creativity. All the text on this invitation is exclusively hand-calligraphed. Jacqueline and John, the bride and groom, chose the Spencerian hand by Debi Zeinert. Adding hand calligraphy to a piece requires a few extra days, but it is worth the wait. The calligraphy appears in rose gold shine, for an even more extravagant display.
Blind embossed rose accents at the top surround a double “J” duogram, also hand-calligraphed. The edges are gilded in rose gold shine foil for an extra pop of color.

Kelsey and Kevin made this design their own by adding a vellum gatefold wrap. The original invitation design features blind embossed floral accents. The couple chose to remove that artwork from the invitation but added it to the gatefold using pearl shine foil, adding a subtle glimmer.

All the cards in this suite have their own unique look while still maintaining a cohesive feel due to the use of consistent colors and artwork. The details card features white matte foil stamping on our asparagus velvet stock. While the events card pairs spruce letterpress, which is a similar hue to the asparagus velvet, and gold matte foil with our soft blue Bella handmade paper.

We could gaze at this invitation set and take in the lovely details all day. This charming hand calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation was brought to us by our dear friend Kristyn and her team at Oliver’s Twist. This invitation is a customization of our Burklyn design, and a great example of how you can use our designs as a starting point to create something truly spectacular.
Laura and Leo changed the invitation to a horizontal orientation and swapped engraving with letterpress in their interpretation of this design. The couple also chose our Quinn hand calligraphy for their names and the ceremony location. Hand calligraphy is always unique and custom, and it’s a great way to add a personal touch to an invitation. The edge of the invitation is beveled at a 45-degree angle and then edged in gold shine foil. The sparkle of the foil adds a hint of glamour and makes the bevel edge stand out.

This custom-created floral Bat Mitzvah invitation set came to us from our dear friend Liz at Stationer on Sunrise. Decadent 3-ply smooth cotton paper elevates this invitation and features a deep impression from the letterpress printing.

This lovely wedding invitation customization is based on our Andras design. We worked with the bride, Shannon, on this sophisticated letterpress invitation suite perfect for a springtime wedding.
All of the printed pieces feature letterpress printing in French blue ink. The same fonts are used throughout as well, creating consistency across all of the pieces. The bride and groom’s names appear larger, highlighting the flourishes of the script font, making the names the standout feature of the invitation. The reply card, the details card, and the rehearsal dinner invitation utilize the same fonts, but the script font is not as large, making it appear more subdued in these auxiliary pieces.

Everything about Chloe and Jonathan’s wedding invitation suite is dreamy. From the handmade paper (including matching envelopes!), a custom crest, and the darling die-cut reply card, there is much to see and swoon over! We were excited when our dear friend, Signed & Sealed by Steph, brought us these custom-created deckle edge invitations.
The invitation features letterpress printing in cool gray for the text and the regal crest that encircles the bride and groom’s initials. The handmade paper has a natural deckle edge, introducing subtle texture, while the blind emboss floral accents create an organic border and add even more texture. A tall belly band (not pictured) features a full flood of a custom blue hue and a full-color digitally printed bouquet coordinating with the invitation’s floral border.
