Bella Figura NYC had the pleasure of working with Sarah and Robert to create their charcoal and gold foil wedding invitations. The couple’s suite reflected their venue perfectly as they were married in the ornate Cathedral Basilica of Notre Dame De Quebec in Quebec City. The cathedral is adorned with beautiful gold accents and this idea was carried onto the invitation as well as the pocketfold. With our luxurious Bella Gray paper as the backdrop for this all over elegant garden pattern, we have no doubt guests couldn’t wait to open the pocketfold to find out what was inside. The floral pattern was also added to the corners of the reply card to pull everything together from the outside in. A solid gold foil envelope liner was added as the finishing touch to this timeless suite.

Using our Carly design as inspiration, our friends at Magnificent Milestones helped Ashley and Robert design these Chicago skyline wedding invitations for their recent celebration. The bold typography was printed in black letterpress and the subtle skyline was foil stamped in silver matte foil. We printed an allover digital ombre effect behind the text and skyline for loads of drama and modern sophistication. That same ombre pattern was repeated on the reply card and envelope liner while black envelopes added elegant drama.

When looking for traditional invitations that will reflect the elegance and formality of your wedding, look no further than calligrapher Sarah Hanna.

For Lauren and Dane’s Bronx Zoo wedding invitations we customized calligrapher Elizabeth Hardin’s Amons design to reflect the unique vibe of their venue.

For their recent East Hampton wedding, Claire and Justin worked with our friends at LS Amster to customize our Ophelia design to reflect their seaside venue and intimate celebration.

Both lent a warm and laid back feel to their suite.

Our friends at Written and Wrapped helped Hannah and her family customize our Harvest design for her spring Bat Mitzvah celebration. Their sweet and ladylike take on the design feels young and fresh and very different from the rustic elegance of the original. They played up their pastel palette of gray and pink throughout the suite, from the polka dot envelope liner to the subtle hint of pink edging the invitation.

Just in time for the upcoming summer holiday, we’re introducing you to Racheal Bumbolo‘s latest design, Arundel. “My main source of inspiration came from the Maine coast,” says Racheal. “My family has vacationed near Arundel for the past few summers and I love everything – the shops and small towns and of course the beaches, wharfs, ports, and hiking trails. For this design I imagined a sophisticated coastal soirée in shades of blue and neutral sandy colors reminiscent of the beach. Keeping the typography simple and minimal adds flexibility for this design to fit any venue or occasion.”

“My main source of inspiration for this customization of Culver was the venue itself and the surrounding arts district of Los Angeles. Cool vibes, art, creativity and innovation abound,” says designer Racheal Bumbolo. “A clean slate along with minimalist font treatment sent this one home for me. I feel most comfortable with designs like this; there is just something about quintessential, modern design that puts me in the zone!”
