Brooke and Jonathan worked with the team at our NYC studio to create their Brooklyn- themed wedding invitation suite. Our Derian design inspired the modern font-driven layout. We also incorporated a border as used on our Hadaway design. The suite highlights the stunning venue views with a letterpressed image of the Brooklyn Bride, and NYC map liner. We love the sweet red heart marking the wedding venue!

We’re so happy to share that Bella Figura has joined the West Street Collective of wedding vendors at 67 West Street on the Greenpoint waterfront. We chat with consultant Joanna Bak below about our new location and all that is has to offer! Do book an appointment in advance so that we can best prepare for your visit. We’ll let Joanna take it away from here!
Q: What makes the Greenpoint studio space unique from the other Bella Figura locations?
A: North Brooklyn has a lively energy and more industrial aesthetic, and we’re excited to work with couples in our sunny Greenpoint location. We are fortunate to be a part of the West Street Wedding Collective, which is a group of independent wedding vendors. We share a beautiful bridal salon with our friends at Oak & Honey catering, Bluespark photography, Framed Florals, Loulette, Boho Bridal, Taryn Winters, and Pre-dame Beauty.
Q: Tell us more about the other wedding vendors in that space!
A: It’s a great one-stop-shop for couples planning their wedding. Also, we’re in the same building as the Greenpoint Loft wedding venue! Coming to our space is a great opportunity for clients to see not only our Bella Figura collection but also what other vendors in the collective have to offer. There are also fun perks for clients who book with multiple West Street Wedding Collective vendors. Prior to opening our Greenpoint location, we had a lot of clients traveling from North Brooklyn to our Park Slope and Upper East Side locations. We’re excited to meet them where they are.
Q: What does your day typically looks like at Greenpoint?
A: Every day is different, but most days there’s a lively atmosphere here with bridal fittings and make-up trials happening at the studio nearby. It’s fun to share in the excitement—weddings vibes are good vibes! At our Greenpoint location we’re open Friday-Sunday, and we mostly see clients by appointment. Since our space is tiny but mighty, we want to make sure everyone who comes through our doors gets the attention they deserve! In our consultations we walk our clients through the design process, answer any questions, and help them hone in on their design direction. Our clients are unique and it’s always fun to see what they are drawn to. We’ve been in touch with local venues, and we’re working on creating illustrations of north Brooklyn’s most popular venues, along with invitation suites—so stay tuned for those!
Q: What are your hopes for the newest Bella Figura location?
A: We’re looking forward to being a part of the Greenpoint community and getting to know our neighbors more. While the salon has a wedding focus, we are of course still happy to help with birthday, holiday, and other custom printing projects.
We are over the moon to announce the grand opening of our latest New York City location in Park Slope, Brooklyn! The store at 232 7th Avenue, the former Lion in the Sun stationery store, will offer our entire range of custom wedding invitations as well as one on one consultations with Bella Figura experts.
We hope you will join us on Saturday, February 16th for a day filled with celebration. Our open house and trunk show will take place between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Stop by and enjoy sweet treats and take advantage of our trunk show promotion. For those who place an invitation order containing 75 pieces or more, we will provide 25 complimentarily. We will also have a local photographer as well as a bridal salon displaying what they do best.
A reception will follow thereafter between 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Calligraphy demonstrations as well as nail art will be offered at this time to pair perfectly with even more delicious treats. We look forward to seeing you there!
Our first regional collection was inspired by iconic wedding venues in and around Brooklyn, New York. The collection of 12 wedding suites and 11 stand-alone save the dates features hand-illustrated artwork, new paper colors, and plenty of nods to New York. We’re excited to feature a glimpse into the collection below. The rest of the regional designs from the collection can be viewed on our website here.
LUCENT:
The Lucent design was inspired by the Weylin, a renowned Williamsburg Savings bank restored into one of the most prevalent community centers and wedding venues within the city. The design features hand-illustrations of the building as well as its intricate ceiling. Our new papers take the stage within this suite including our Bella Rosebud and Bella Old Rose.
WAREHOUSE:
The Liberty Warehouse is a popular venue with expansive views of the New York Harbor. Our Warehouse design features playful illustrations of the skyline that would be seen from water’s edge while at the venue. The set is printed in Cobalt ink and paired with a belly-band using White Matte foil to make the skyline sketch pop.
BORDEAUX:
Inspired by the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, the invitation itself is reminiscent of the wine labels found at the venue. The set features clean typography in Umber ink and vintage wine-inspired accents throughout. Hand-illustrations of the Williamsburg Bridge and water towers add an extra touch of Brooklyn personalization.
EDISON:
The Green Building is another restored Brooklyn venue complete with exposed brick, beamed ceilings and rustic touches throughout. Our Edison design reflects the space with its whimsical illustrations, like a truck reminiscent of the one that sits outside the venue. Bella Holly paper adds a touch of color to an otherwise neutral color palette with accents of Copper Shine foil.
A Brooklyn backdrop, bold shapes, and metallic accents inspired this shoot photographed by Forever Photography. We were excited to spot our Carrara design among these elements of inspiration as well. A wedding invitation with geometric flair made with Brooklyn in mind. The skyline motif used on the belly-band as well as the vintage map envelope liner added touches of personalization. Finally, this styled shoot featured at BK Venues created an intimate yet bold setting for a contemporary Brooklyn affair.
