pastel foil and letterpress sweet sixteen invitations for Oheka Castle celebration

Bella and her family worked with our friends at Ipanema Press on the design of these foil and letterpress sweet sixteen invitations for her Oheka Castle celebration. The ladylike palette of tea rose and taupe letterpress was accented with pearl foil, used to add subtle shine to the falling snowflakes. The submitted silhouette of the venue, whimsical hand calligraphy from Debi Zeinert and custom pastel pink envelopes all added to the charming, princess-like feel of the suite.

letterpress multi-cultural wedding invitations

Rachael and Ajay worked with us at our flagship store in Manhattan on the design of their multi-cultural wedding invitations for their Newport, Rhode Island wedding. They chose our Waterfront design as inspiration and we created a three-panel invitation that directed guests to their Sikh ceremony and Jewish ceremony, taking place at Newport’s Belle Mer. Their reply card, welcome dinner card and post wedding brunch card all used coordinating motifs from the suite that carried on the seaside vibe.

New York City themed day-of wedding stationery

We had the pleasure of working with Aviva and Evan on their New York City themed day-of wedding stationery based on our Bright Lights design. They incorporated classic New York icons like the Statue of Liberty, the Staten Island Ferry and the Brooklyn Bridge, all illustrated by designer Courtney Jentzen.  We digitally printed both their double-sided ceremony programs and personalized escort/place cards to coordinate with their wedding invitations that were printed in the same palette and design. Thanks to our team at Bella Figura NYC!

gold foil and black letterpress wedding invitations with border

For Tracy and Adam, we made a few small changes to our Gus design that made a big impact on the overall style of their set.
