Katharine and Brandon worked with our friends at Uptowne Papers to create their gorgeous wedding invitation suite. Our Townsend design inspired the layout with double border. The french blue and gold matte combination was the perfect introduction to their wedding colors.
Meghan and Matthew worked with our friends at Bering’s to create their beautiful invitation suite. The layout mimics our Florence sample, with updated fonts in stunning rosebud letterpress and mink matte foil. Debossed Florence florals highlight the corner of the creatively worded hotel card. The suite is pulled together perfectly with mink matte edging, and the floral Calista liner in rosebud.
Bridget and Kevin worked with our friends at Smitten Boutique to create their beautiful wedding invitations. The layout is inspired by our Dendria sample, and includes the same delicate embossed wreath. We updated the font to garamond, to give a more streamlined feel. A details card printed with a flood of denim, and white text reverses the invitation color story. Our lilian liner pattern printed in denim is the perfect compliment to the embossed florals throughout the suite.
We worked with our friends at Seaside Papery to bring Logan and Stjepan’s stunning invitations to life. They drew inspiration from our Euphrasia and Giles samples. The black envelope opens to reveal the euphrasia liner pattern in champagne matte, and a sleek black pocket panel printed in black shine. The invitation card features champagne matte foil, and clear shine embossing. The enclosure cards are black with champagne foil, or white with black letterpress and border. The mix of tones creates a modern cascading effect when assembled in the pocket.
Our designer Cassidy created the Gigi suite for our 2024 wedding collection, and walks us through her inspiration:
My 2023 summer trip to the south of France inspired me to design Gigi. I was taken by all the wonderful colors and beautiful scenery of the seaport city of Nice. Visiting the south of France was always a dream of mine, particularly after I found out that Alfred Hitchcock filmed several scenes there from his 1955 classic “To Catch A Thief” with Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. It’s one of my favorite classic movies! I explored from downtown Nice to the Old Town, to a nearby town called Menton.
My favorite town in Nice was Menton; it was like walking onto a movie set it was so stunning with all the bright and warm colors of the buildings, the French Riveria right at your feet, and you’re right next to the border of Italy. I drew much of my design inspiration from that town and Old Nice with the color palette, typography, and drawings. The colors were perfect for a summer wedding and I wanted it to feel vintage inspired using a similar old-style block font used on the buildings in Nice, (Palmore) but also modern with a simple style of textured line drawings, and two new fonts, Questrial and La Luxes script. I decided to set the wedding venue at Le Negresco Hotel, as it is a very famous hotel in vibrant area of downtown Nice, next to Old Nice where you can see more of the city’s history!
This was my first wedding release design for Bella Figura and I loved creating it! I hope it inspires you too!
Here is Gigi in a more cool tone / masculine colorway: using Espresso, Carolina, Royal Blue, Messa, and French Vanilla.

We worked with our friends at The Paper Place to bring Alexandra and Rogelio’s stunning invitations to life. The layout is inspired by our Maeve v.2 sample. Rich cobalt letterpress is complimented by tawny shine foil. The details card has a flamingo paper backer, providing another fun pop of color. The liner was created from the motifs featured in our Ravello suite, and compliments the tropical suite perfectly.

Caroline and Dylan worked with our friends at Parchment Fine Papers to create their beautiful invitation suite. We subtly updated our Matilde suite by swapping out gold shine foil for gold matte. We love how the gold matte compliments the fern and hunter liner.
We had the pleasure of working directly with the mother of the bride to create Bella and Scott’s gorgeous wedding invitation suite. Our Novella design inspired the layout and font. We kept the handmade paper, but used white instead of soft blue. We used our lavender motif and did all the printing in our plum color to compliment the bride’s love of purple and lavender.
Katie Magee designed Fairefolk, part of our 2024 wedding collection and shares her inspiration behind the suite:
Fairefolk was one of those rare designs that flowed together quite easily. While searching for inspiration for one of our past holiday releases, I came across a blush pink, dusty blue, and soft beige color palette that I fell in love with, but it didn’t feel quite right for anything holiday-related. So, even though we were still in the thick of holiday designs, I started toying around with the color palette for a wedding design. I had just finished knitting a Fair Isle inspired hat for a friend’s baby, and the idea of some modern folk art motifs felt like they could mesh well with this color palette.
I created a handful of folk art style motifs, built out the arched border for the invitation, and then used the same motifs throughout the suite for consistency without feeling too repetitive, and not overpowering the modern typography.
letterpress ink: deep blue | foil stamping: mink matte | fonts: addington + ginger | papers: khaki 2-ply + | invite size: f-8 | diecut style: bf-89 | liner: fairefolk pattern in deep blue on khaki text | silk ribbon: woodrose | envelope: old rose | digital addressing ink: deep blue
As with all of our designs, we can customize the colors of Fairefolk. Below is a mockup with spruce and lavender letterpress on ivory stock.
We worked with our friends at Arnie Paperie to create Emilia and John’s gorgeous wedding invitations. Our Deveril v.2 sample inspired the layout. We used a script font, and updated the colors to holly and rosebud. The colors are perfectly complimented by our vintage rose pattern liner, with a rosebud background.
letterpress ink: holly | fonts: aston script + at sackers roman | paper: bella cotton ivory 2ply + 1ply, rosebud 1ply | invite size: f-8 | liner: rose pattern in rosebud + cmyk | envelopes: holly

Lindsey and Kevin worked with our friends at Lee’s Paperie to create their beautiful floral stationery. Our Willington wedding sample was the inspiration. Calligraphy and a calligraphed monogram from Virginia Lucas Hart in her Willa style brought the set to life.
