Contemporary typography, understated luxury, and meaningful personal details give Alexandra and Conner’s letterpress invitations a sophisticated feel while remaining timeless. This couple customized our Province design, making it their own.

The layout embraces generous white space, allowing each design element to be admired and enjoyed. The beauty of this design comes from the restraint and subtle contrast. A mix of oversized, artistic initials creating a distinctive monogram and delicate serif fonts is a refined design feature.

Burgundy shine foil showcases the bevel edge while adding some glimmer. A tag bearing the invitation’s monogram, this time blind-embossed, is secured to the invitation with metallic cranberry thread. The shimmer of the metallic thread beautifully coordinates with the foil edging.

The vintage-style map envelope liner is a darling addition. A heart motif marks the location of the wedding and reception venue for a charming personal detail.

The auxiliary cards in this wedding stationery suite are just as stunning as the invite. The details card features letterpress printing on our velvet stock. Velvet adds a lovely texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The use of our deep blue letterpress ink on our French blue velvet creates a stunning tonal look.

The rehearsal dinner invitation is a masterclass in minimalism. Blind debossing on our Bella cotton 1-ply paper mimics the look of tonal printing while showcasing the depth of the debossing and the stock’s soft texture. Utilizing letterpress printing in our deep blue ink for the remaining text maintains consistency across the rest of the suite.

Joanna and Jason’s invitations came to us from our dear friend Donna of Designs by Donna. This customization of our Bright Lights design has a definite New York City vibe. See more and find out how this NYC skyline wedding invitation highlights this couple and the Big Apple.

One font is used throughout the design for consistency. The bride and groom’s names appear in vine letterpress ink while the remaining text appears in clover ink. This design choice highlights the bride and groom’s names and coordinates with the artwork at the bottom of the invitation. The NYC skyline appears as a continuous line-inspired artwork in vine letterpress. The artwork stretches completely across the bottom of the invitation. The Statue of Liberty artwork also appears on the reply card, creating a cohesive feel across both printed pieces. 

The skyline is a fitting choice for this NYC couple, and it is even more appropriate given that the wedding was held at Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn. Many of the landmarks noted in the line drawing are visible from the venue location.

The final nod to NYC can be found on the envelope liner. The liner bears a vintage map of NYC digitally printed in our acadia ink. This NYC skyline wedding invitation is representative of the couple and their love story. Envelope liners are a great way to introduce a personal touch that is meaningful to the couple or relevant to the location.

This letterpress wedding invitation suite captures the ambience of a Brooklyn wedding held during the summer. Zoe and John worked with our store, Bella Figura NYC, to create these touchingly personal invitations that include a lovely custom map envelope liner.

At first glance, Zoe and John’s wedding invitation design has a lot in common with Hadaway, the original inspiration design. The overall layout is similar, including the stunning letterpress printed border. The garden letterpress ink is seasonal and lovely. Swapping out the original fonts completely changes the look and feel of the invitation. Using a script font for the bride and groom’s names maintains the formality, while making the invitation more contemporary and modern.

The couple added a personal touch by adding motifs to each card in the wedding suite. The nature-themed sprigs on the invite and the details card are charming and befitting a summertime affair. The pizza slice motif on the reply card is fun and a nod to the couple and Brooklyn, the location of the nuptials. The wedding locale is further emphasized on the envelope liner. The liner features a digitally printed map of Brooklyn with a heart marking Liberty Warehouse, the location of the wedding.
