We had the pleasure of working with Carly and William in person to design their 3-color letterpress and foil paisley wedding invitations. They chose our Paisley Floral design complete with a diecut shape in our Charleston style and printed in a summery palette of fuchsia and tawny matte with black. We loved being a part of Carly and William’s big day by printing their full wedding suite, including their save the dates, ceremony programs and place cards.

Madeline and Edwin came to us for bilingual wedding invitations for their Mexico destination wedding. The playful and carefree vibe of our Surfside design complimented their seaside venue The Fairmont Mayakoba (known as the Venice of the Caribbean!). They printed two sets of their invitations – one in English and one in Spanish – and included reply sets and accommodations cards with both.

Debi Zeinert’s Copperplate style lettering is the focal point of these classically elegant calligraphy wedding invitations. Jillian and Michael chose black letterpress and gold shine foil on our ivory cotton paper for their wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion. Debi created a custom duogram for the couple and they incorporated it throughout their suite, including on the brunch card and thank you card.

To compliment their one of a kind venue, Lauren and Brian chose neon wedding invitations in a modern, text-based design. They chose Blakesly but passed on the banner motif to keep things simple and customized their reception card with a sweet duogram.

Alexandra and Peter chose the Glen Manor House in Rhode Island as the romantic backdrop for their wedding this past summer. They customized our Augustine Damask wedding invitations by changing from an allover pattern to a border that framed their formal text and opted for a soft, neutral palette of sand ink and silver matte foil. Our Lincoln diecut shape and a metallic silver liner further personalized their set, as did the motifs they added throughout.

Kristina and Jeffrey customized our Colette design for their gold foil and letterpress menus and ceremony programs. They chose a classic color palette of gold matte and charcoal that wouldn’t compete with their venue and used Kelle McCarter’s hand calligraphy to add a hint of whimsy and fun.

For their calligraphy wedding invitations, Megan and Todd chose one of our handdrawn motifs to accompany Nicole Black’s hand lettering. The motif was carried throughout their suite in different sizes – on the invitation encircling their calligraphed monogram, framing the weekend events card and even as tiny accents on the reply card.
