Foil Embossed Wedding Invitation

This regal foil embossed wedding invitation set had us swooning. Our dear friends at Shindig Paperie brought us this customization of our Blyth design. Get all of the details about this stunning invitation and see more images!

Foil Embossed Wedding Invitation

The standout feature of this invitation is the two-letter duogram created using the overlapping initials of the bride and groom’s first names. This custom artwork is foil embossed, creating a raised, gilded appearance. The remaining text is foil-stamped in the same color, tawny shine for consistency. The foil stamping process gently pushes the foil into the thick 2-ply stock.

Featured In: Chicago Social Modern Wedding

We were thrilled to see a feature in Chicago Social on Johnna and Sam’s beautiful modern wedding, brimming with personal touches, including several appearances by their mini dachshund, and lots of Chicago flair. Johnna is our friend from Big City Bride, and we previously highlighted her and Sam’s custom-designed save the date.

The wedding colors were bright pink, orange, and yellow, and each printed piece featured a single one of these colors. The modern invitation boasts a flood of bright pink letterpress, with the text created by the areas without printing.

Bella Figura Modern Wedding

The rehearsal dinner invitation features the same flood of color, with the reverse creating the text and border, except this time the ink color is papaya. All the pieces in the suite featured the same design, but in different colors. The cards were square, with the invitation being the largest, and each subsequent card sized down. Before being placed in the envelope, the cards were stacked in size order, with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on top, and secured with metallic gold thread. This presentation created a collective ombre look, since the bold colors of each card peeked out around the edges of the smaller cards stacked on top.

We are so happy for Johnna and Sam, and we were honored to print their save the date and wedding invitation suite. Do you want modern wedding invitations? Are you thinking about ways to pay homage to your hometown or wedding location in your invitations?

Floral Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

This charming rehearsal dinner invitation from our friends at Paper Place sets the perfect tone for a springtime event. This is a customization of our Dendria invitation, and it’s a great example of how you can transform our designs. See what sets the customization apart from the original design and how the clients made this floral rehearsal dinner invitation their own.

Floral Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

The client kept the same floral liner and used the liner pattern to create a border along the outer edges of the invitation. A double-line letterpress border separates the text from the floral frame. Different fonts were selected, but they kept the same look of featuring the bride and groom’s names and the venue name in a script font and using a serif font for the remaining text.

Blind Embossed Wedding Invitation

This invitation suite from our dear friends at RSVP in Omaha, Nebraska, features clean lines for a modern, sophisticated look. However, the whimsical liner adds an unexpected yet perfectly coordinated touch of personality. See all the pieces up close and discover what makes this blind embossed wedding invitation so special.

Blind Embossed Wedding Invitation Flat Lay

This client’s job is a customization of our Sherah design. At first glance, the final printed piece strongly resembles its inspiration, including the same die-cut shape combined with a beveled and painted edge. This custom wedding invitation swaps out foil stamping for letterpress printing in our vine ink, giving the card a more vibrant and springlike appearance. The bride and groom’s names are still blind embossed. The crisp, raised text provides a stately and sophisticated feel.

The Quinn liner, a fun floral pattern, replaces the art deco-inspired Sherah pattern featured in the original. The liner adds some whimsy while still maintaining the elegance of the invitation. The foil and digital Quinn pattern is repeated on the belly band and pocket panel, along with a few accent flowers on the reply card.

Behind the Scenes of the 2025 Wedding Release with Designer Katie Magee

Our wedding release is easily one of the things I look forward to most each year. It’s a time to explore new styles from trendy to timeless, spotlight new offerings from our library, and push the boundaries of what we can do.

The open-endedness can truthfully be a bit daunting for me. Sometimes, a concept comes together quickly; other times, it takes a while to come to fruition. Regardless, the start of the process for me is always the same — a trusty Pinterest board. I start by pinning anything that catches my eye: patterns, color palettes, artwork, photos, anything. From there, I sort through everything, grouping what feels cohesive, allowing me to see the things I’m drawn to and start to conceptualize my new designs for the wedding release.

Cyrus

Cyrus was born from dense florals, fun colors (I had to use our new Verdigris, Lilac, and Rouge inks here!), and modern typography. Creating these florals that fit together like puzzle pieces was quite the challenge, but it brings almost an art print feel to the set.

Bella Figura Wedding Release Inspiration

Forsythe

Forsythe was one of those ones that came together quickly — my inspiration led me to an updated, modern chinoiserie feel. A delicate, hand-drawn floral branch is utilized throughout the set. The soft blue inks beautifully contrast with the pale ribbon and velvet accents. Our belly band assembly set up on the back of the invitation has been a hit. The custom die-cut tag felt like the perfect way to elevate that.

Bella Figura Inspiration

Rosalie

Rosalie came from a color palette that seemed to catch my eye — soft pink and bright red. This was the perfect place to show off our new Ballet paper and Chili ink, with tonal accents in Bellini. I knew whatever direction this took, it had to be fun and playful. A vintage Palm Springs vibe felt right, with cheery illustrations and whimsical typography.

Bella Figura Wedding Release Inspiration

Royce

Royce was the last design to come together, but it may just be my personal favorite. This set came alive from vintage embroidery transfers that I stumbled upon. I started with the flower digital illustrations you see on the folder, invite, and save the date. Then, I created the additional borders for the other pieces. It feels a little chaotic, but at the same time, cohesive. My favorite part about this is easily the folder — I think it perfectly showcases the entire set without one piece overpowering the other.

2025 Spring Collection: Motifs

Our 2025 Spring Collection is here! This mini release includes five re-imagined versions of some of our popular designs. These designs feature plenty of motifs, unique die cuts, and new offerings, like custom-converted envelopes. See more of our Spring Collection and get inspired!

Braxton V.2

Blind sculpted embossing creates a contoured appearance, giving the floral accents on the Braxton V.2 save the date added dimension. Our Lincoln die cut, coupled with the script font, further elevates the look and sets the tone for a lavish affair.

The same floral accents from the save the date are repeated on the invitation, but this time, the floral artwork adorns opposite corners instead of being centered. Using the same artwork maintains consistency, but breaking it up keeps things new and fresh while giving the invitation a balanced feel.

The after-party card is much more casual and features a fun die cut in the shape of cowboy boots.

Derian V.2

The floral accents and charming hummingbird die cut of Derian V.2 are perfect for a garden-themed wedding. The front of the invitation is stately and formal, while the back printing is a subtle and fun way to incorporate a personal touch and the darling floral pattern. The same floral pattern appears on the back of the invitation and the envelope liner, with a different background color.

The stripes on the welcome party card are reminiscent of the border on the invitation, creating a connection between these cards.

Duval V.2

Duval V.2 has a tropical flair. The names appear in the Eternal Blossom font, which is a casual font with a grand presence. The vellum belly band features a crest with the bride and groom’s initials for a touch of whimsy and a burst of color. 

This design has two fun die cuts: the reply card, which is shaped like a monstera leaf, and the rehearsal dinner card, which is shaped like a clamshell. Digital printing on the front helps bring these die-cut shapes to life.

Motifs representative of the events listed on the details card are fun, informative, and help set the tone for the weekend.

Custom Illustration Wedding Invitations

It’s always a joy to work with Arni Paperie, and it was extra special when we found out what Stephanie and Timothy had in mind for their wedding invitations. 

The text is letterpress printed in deep blue ink on our luxurious 2-ply smooth cotton paper. The standout feature of this wedding invitation is the illustration of the venue, the Pridwin Hotel. A custom illustration of this iconic beachfront hotel graces the bottom of the invitation. We also created an accordion-fold details card that features a map of the North and South Forks of Long Island, including Shelter Island, the location of the festivities.

We created these custom illustrations based on direction and insight from the bride and groom. They had a vision, and we worked to bring that vision to life and create something completely unique.

Wedding Invitation Customization: Elton

Our lovely friends at Sweet Paper in La Jolla, California, helped Alexandra and Jan create this timeless wedding invitation customization of our “Elton” design. The couple retained the double-line border but changed the fonts, swapped the color paper for our Bella smooth cotton, and removed the branch motif to better suit their black-tie affair.

The classic combination of Champagne Matte foil and crisp white paper was complemented by some of our most popular embellishments, including mother-of-pearl silk ribbon, metallic gold thread, and metallic seashell envelope liners.

The remaining cards in this suite retain the luxe aesthetic while incorporating some beachside Mexico flair. Each card features an intricate border reminiscent of traditional Mexican artwork but in a single color to create a more streamlined and minimalist look. A pocket panel made from our 1-ply sky paper is mounted to the back of the invitation to secure the additional cards.

2025 Spring Collection: Motifs

The Bella Figura 2025 Spring Collection is almost here! This mini-release highlights many of our wonderful new motifs and how they can be used to create something truly one of a kind. We paired them with reimagined updates to some of our most popular designs over the past few years to create some real design magic! 

When we updated our Design Library in the fall, we added over a hundred new hand-drawn and painted motifs created by our talented team of designers. We carefully curated a collection of motifs that could be used for any event and idea you can imagine. From an expansive range of event card icons to watercolor beach umbrellas and pickleball paddles, we tried to show it all! Quirky and fun to elegant and sophisticated, there is something for every style. So, in this release, we want to showcase the ways these motifs can be incorporated to customize a design. From as simple as bringing in motifs to create a one-of-a-kind envelope liner to creating custom die shapes for a unique insert card or tag, the possibilities are endless!

Here is some insight into the creative process behind this release from our Creative Lead, Jessica.

I had a lot of fun creating this mini collection, and I hope that shines through in these designs. You’ll see some of our newest ink and paper colors also mixed into this release. As well as a few custom converted envelopes. This is a great way to customize your designs with colors outside of our standard color envelopes.

The charming architectural details of Cotswold cottages and gardens inspire this design. It has large florals and geometric trellis shapes in shades of bright French Blue and vintage Verdigris green ink. I wanted the texture of the sculpted blind embossing to shine here, so I kept the motifs minimal and tonal in letterpress ink. But since this is a Texas wedding, I brought in the Watercolor Cowboy boots as a fun custom die shape for the after-party celebration!

I envisioned this for a small and sweet garden party wedding. I pulled together some of my favorite floral motifs like Lavender Sprigs and Queen Anne’s Lace and paired them with the sprawling Ivy to create a whimsical and elegant vibe. And if you know me, you know I love a bird on an invitation suite, so I had to bring in the Watercolor Hummingbird as a custom die shape tag to tie the whole suite together!

Where color and creativity meet! I wanted everything about this suite to be bold and bright. Using many of our tropical motifs, I created a custom crest on the bellyband and brought those motifs in throughout all other pieces, from the subtle Monstera reply card to the over-the-top gatefold save the date. It shows the versatility of our motifs and how to use them!

I wanted this to be for a colorful springtime backyard celebration. Inspired by the bright florals you’d find blossoming in your very own garden. The poppy patterns pair perfectly with understated elegant typography. But for some personality, I brought in the Pizza and one of my personal favorites, the Watercolor Soft Pretzel!

Inspired by one of my favorite places, Cape Cod. This design is a subtle nod to traditional nautical New England. I knew I wanted to work in some of my favorite motifs, Watercolor Lobster and Beach Ball, but do it in an understated way. By pairing them with classic typography and sophisticated paper colors, these fun and quirky motifs create charm and charisma without being cheesy.
