We had the pleasure of working with Alexis and Adam to create their beautiful wedding invitations. Our Novella sample inspired the design, complete with an illustration of the Tuscan venue. They personalized the suite by using our white cotton paper, with stone letterpress. The botanical border from the Novella welcome party card pairs back to the envelope liner.

Katherine and William worked with the team at our NYC studio to create their wedding invitations. Since the wedding was at the Liberty Warehouse, our Warehouse sample suite was the perfect starting point. Stone letterpress ink was used for a more subtle look, and the invite size was changed to an A-7. We love how the suite came together!

We worked with our friends at Oliver’s Twist to create these beautiful fall invitations. We reimagined our Underwood v.2 sample for an autumn wedding. Stone letterpress on our ivory stock is the perfect combo. Supplied toast velvet adds an unexpected element to the back of the details card. The plaid envelope liner adds to the fall feeling.
We worked with Megan and David and their planners from Event of the Season to create their beautiful invitation suite. It is a reimagining of our Novella suite. The invitation on our handmade paper sets the tone for the suite, and event to come with a loose embossed bouquet. A vellum over lay, printed in stone, adds another botanical touch. The simple classic color envelope liner in mineral brings all the soft earth tones together.

We had the pleasure of working with Michelle and David at our NYC studio. They reimagined our Hillock suite for their autumn wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. We’ll let Michelle take it from here to share more about their wedding details!
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A BIT ABOUT YOUR WEDDING AND YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THE EVENT?
We have both always loved the Fall season and knew that we wanted to get married during peak fall foliage timing! We also both envisioned a “New York adjacent” wedding, so when we toured the grounds of Blue Hill at Stone Barns and they had a mid-late October date available – we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Our invitations and entire wedding aesthetic were really inspired by the venue – incorporating a classic, clean design throughout the entire celebration.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR COUPLES CURRENTLY PLANNING A WEDDING?
Bring on vendors that have past experience with your venue. I know this isn’t possible for every couple, but for us it was really important to work with people who could help guide our “day of” plan. We had a lot of different rain & COVID backups, so we really wanted a team we could trust to help make the day as seamless as possible!
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR INVITATION DESIGN & INK COLORS?
It was fairly seamless for us when looking at and ultimately agreeing on our wedding invitation design. We gravitated toward designs that were clean and classic. We ultimately fell in love with the vintage root vegetables motifs, which worked nicely with the fact that our venue is a working four-season farm. We were able to use a custom pattern as an envelope liner and added them to our Details card, and then later used them for our Table Cards. We also easily agreed on the color, Stone, which was a grayish/green. Also, after we had ordered our invitations we realized the font we chose was Garamond, which is actually the font they use in all American editions of Harry Potter. Early on in our relationship we bonded over our obsessive love of Harry Potter – so this felt especially “meant to be”!
WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST ABOUT YOUR WEDDING?
How much love and support we received! It was truly so amazing to have everybody we loved and who loved us in a room together – cheering for us and celebrating the beginning of our marriage.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT?
Immediately after the ceremony, we went off into a room by ourselves (the yichud, a ritual in Jewish weddings where the couple spends a few minutes in isolation after the ceremony). We were able to have 15 minutes to be with each other, sip some champagne, and enjoy some bites from our cocktail hour. Most importantly, we were able to take some deep breaths and enjoy being together one on one for the first time as husband and wife! It was a really great moment to take a breath and ground ourselves while also preparing for the reception!
FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT OF YOUR BIG DAY?
The peak fall foliage! We truly got so lucky with the fall colors on our October weekend – it was everything we hoped for when we booked the venue 13 months prior.
Elizabeth and John worked with our friends at Cambridge Street Papers to bring their gorgeous invitation suite to life. The botanical elements from our Marseille suite were reimagined for a summer wedding. A silk ribbon bow perfectly compliments the foil stamped metallic liner to tie the suite together.
