Elegant design combined with painterly botanicals has us swooning over Olivia and Armando’s engraved wedding invitation suite. This couple worked with our dear friend Michelle of Ink Fine Stationers to customize our Neve design, and the results are absolutely stunning.

This design features engraving, a traditional print method that utilizes etched metal plates to create a raised impression. This technique is classic and timeless, and looks completely amazing when paired with our Bella 2-ply Cotton paper. The thin, delicate typography stands out against the thick, plush texture of the paper. 

The font selection feels formal and romantic. The couple’s names appear in a flowing script with dramatic swashes that serve as the focal point. While the remaining text appears more subdued than the bride and groom’s names, there are still plenty of dramatic flourishes, giving the overall design an intensity and vibrancy. 

Although romantic, the design remains uncluttered. Large amounts of white space emphasize the typography, creating a sophisticated feel. The invitation fits into a vellum gatefold for an added level of sophistication.

The envelope liner features a painterly floral artwork reminiscent of classical oil paintings. The flowers have a vintage gallery-like quality that evokes classic still-life paintings.

Whether you want the drama of an elaborate script font, the romance of a floral envelope liner, or the tradition of engraving, you can create what you want with any of our designs. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect engraved wedding invitation set.

This couple wanted their invitations to be graceful, elegant, and enduring, and they certainly made that happen. Hannah and Burton worked with our dear friend Jena of Big City Bride to customize our Carmichael design. These letterpress and foil invitations are regal, effortless, and peak sophistication.

A delicate wreath-inspired monogram adds a personal detail and crest-like feel. A thin line border in powder blue frames the invitation, while edge painting in our deep blue ink, a slightly darker hue, adds depth and a burst of color. A vellum gatefold wraps around the invitation and is secured with a decadent silk ribbon. Floral artwork digitally printed in white adorns the gatefold for a subtle yet impactful look.

Our Bella Smooth Cotton stock in bright white is crisp and plush and holds a deep letterpress impression, making it the perfect foundation for this design. The ornate script font cascades across the paper, adding tradition and romance. The use of gold matte foil for the script text further emphasizes the font’s swooping flourishes.

Design elements from the invitation appear thoughtfully throughout the suite. The welcome party card and rehearsal dinner invite reverse the invitation’s color palette and feature white digital printing on our dark blue stock. The floral pattern from the wreath encircling the monogram and the gatefold is letterpress-printed on the reception card and blind-embossed on the rehearsal dinner invitation. The border on the details card matches the border on the invitation. These deliberate design choices ensure consistency across all of the cards.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Big City Bride, because we know they always have something gorgeous and magnificent for us. Do you need help designing your letterpress and foil invitations?
