We’ve had the pleasure of working with so many lovely couples this year to design and letterpress print their wedding invitations. The wedding we’re sharing today, though, is my personal favorite! It was a bit of a dream come true to collaborate with my sweet niece and her fiancé to create their custom wedding stationery. I’ve printed birthday party invitations, graduation announcements and business cards for her over the years but this was my favorite of our collaborations!

They’re thoughtful, sincere, and joyful — and their design choices reflected those qualities. For a modern take on a classic New England wedding, they paired a traditional script with crisp copperplate text printed in a vibrant red ink. The invitation card was clean and elegant, with the focus on the bright colored text. They incorporated imagery throughout the rest of the suite and drew their own illustrations for the “toile-inspired” envelope liner. We used a pale pink card stock for the response cards and envelopes, and created a pennant tag tied around the assembled sets with blush cotton ribbon from our friends at Studio Carta. Each envelope was sealed with a bright red wax seal embossed with their initials.

For the wedding day, we designed stationery to complement the invitations. The programs, menus, table cards, and place cards were printed digitally, while we letterpress printed additional tags to tie around the pink dessert favor boxes. The reception was in a tent on a yacht club lawn and the decor was minimal with bright, cheerful flowers, candles and really happy friends and family!

Are you considering a winter wedding? Take some inspiration from this jewel-toned dark teal invitation suite for an oceanside New York Wedding at Bourne Mansion. The Wedding Day Stationary tucked beautifully into evergreen boughs, candlelight, and pops of red. Even the bride's bird was up for the festivities. The couple offered beautiful Colorado Blue Spruce Saplings as favors.

Wedding day stationery helps guide your guests through your various wedding events from the ceremony to cocktails, menus, and seating arrangements. Creating a consistent look that reflects your invitation design enhances the decorative elements of your wedding decorations and decor. We worked with Olivia and Griffin's wedding planner, Nina Moore, to create the perfect programs, cocktail signs, table and escort cards, and personalized menus for a seamless celebration.

Olivia and Griffin, in collaboration with our design team and their wedding planner, Nina Moore, combined elements of our Pictorial and Elegant Monogram designs to set the perfect tone for their invitations. This invitation suite introduced guests to the exciting wedding weekend events to come with an elegant invitation and timeline card, and gave them access to more wedding and RSVP information via the website card. They also included a rehearsal dinner card with information for members of the wedding party. The beautifully curated stamps completed the look and feel of their suite.
