We had the pleasure of printing these letterpress invitations for a dinner hosted by Martha Ford in honor of her family and the Ford Foundation. Our Simple Elegance design was printed in cornflower ink and accented with a coordinating envelope liner in the same cheerful hue. A custom map directed guests to the venue, the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan.

The foil and letterpress save the dates that Iva and Christopher chose for their Toronto wedding showcased how beautifully the two printing methods can compliment one another when used together. Formal typography inspired by our Classic Manhattan design was printed in silver shine foil while a vintage map of Toronto was letterpress printed in pale gray ink.

Catherine and Alexander customized our Under the Tree design by changing the motif to an oak tree and using more modern, less vintage-like typography. These rustic wedding invitations were further personalized by adding our Charleston die-cut shape and our tavish envelope liner in wine ink, complimenting the espresso ink used on the invitation.

Sherry and Auren’s wedding was held at The St. Regis – one of Manhattan’s most iconic hotels. Sarah Hanna’s hand calligraphy on our Callaway design set the tone for this black tie affair, while a custom calligraphed duogram in gold matte foil was an additional bit of personalization. Gold matte edging and a metallic gold leaf envelope liner upped the glamor on these black and gold wedding invitations.

Our ever-popular Colette calligraphy wedding invitations set the tone for Lindsey and Michael’s airy beach wedding in Southern California. Their ceremony overlooked the ocean, and took place on the grounds of the The Ritz Carlton Dana Point. Lindsey’s bridesmaids wore long, floaty dresses in the softest shade of sandy gray, which mimicked the letterpress printing on the couple’s invitation. No beachside wedding would be complete without photos of the bride and groom walking along the sand – and we love how Cami Jane Photography captured the happy couple post-ceremony. To see more photos from Lindsey and Michael’s big day, head over to Junebug Weddings!

Our romantic Cordelia invitations and menus were recently featured by Weddings Unveiled magazine!
