custom paper flower inspired Bat Mitzvah invitations

Our friends at Jenny’s Paper, Ink helped us create these custom paper flower inspired Bat Mitzvah invitations for Abby’s celebration. We designed the flowers around submitted sketches and recreated the hand painted, folded paper flower look using brightly colored digital inks and gold foil. The petite dot patterned liner tied in the sweet dot pattern used throughout the floral artwork and a submitted reply envelope added a punch of coordinating color.

Monochromatic letterpress and foil stamped save the dates and invitations

Casey and Tor used a cool palette of pewter and silver on their monochromatic letterpress and foil stamped save the dates and invitations. They customized our Branch design by forgoing the rustic fonts and layout for more elegant typography. The motif was used throughout the suite including the custom envelope liner. The couple opted for classic save the dates without any additional adornment but added a destination inspired liner to pay homage to the city hosting their wedding.

Bella Figura featured in Martha Stewart Weddings Summer 2017

It’s always special to be featured in an issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine, but when the real wedding feature happens to be for an editor of the magazine? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake. We were thrilled to work with Katie on the invitations for her Shelter Island wedding last September. Katie and her husband Samuel chose a botanical theme for their wedding to reflect the wild nature of the island, and included a variety of flora and fauna motifs featuring native animals and plants that would be in season in late summer.  Katie shared that “everything featured was actually on the island, with the exception of the blue cranes, a nod to Samuel’s last name.” For the invitation suite, we letterpress printed the invitations and reply cards, and digitally printed the back of each card to include vintage artwork featuring insects and leafy botanicals. Katie’s mother calligraphed the invitation envelopes, which featured a vintage floral print envelope liner and vintage postage stamps. To read more about Katie and Samuel’s Shelter Island wedding, be sure to head over to Martha Stewart Weddings, or pick up the summer 2017 issue!

Dreamy summer wedding at the Irish Barn at Whistling Straits

We recently spotted Kathryn and Michael’s dreamy August wedding on Style Me Pretty, so today we’re sharing a glimpse of their big day. Kathryn and Michael worked with the team at our flagship store in New York City to personalize their Annata invitations, which paired charcoal letterpress ink with digitally printed floral design elements on our ivory paper. They later embellished the set with wax seals on the envelopes as a finishing touch. Their charming invitations matched the feel of their venue perfectly, setting the tone for a beautiful summer celebration. To see even more photos, be sure to head over to Style Me Pretty
