Modern Lace Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Today’s lovely, lacy invitation crush comes to us from Margaux Fraise of Harmony Creative Studio, whose concept for her own wedding invites, a modern take on a vintage lace design, was translated beautifully by Shayna from Steel Petal Press, who designed and printed the gorgeous gray and peach letterpress wedding invites. Details like the textural, blind debossed lace designs, vintage postage stamps, unexpected vertical envelope orientation, and playful vintage Los Angeles save the date turned RSVP card make this beautiful suite a true standout.

Paul & Becky’s Modern Coral + Gray Wedding Invitations
This beautiful letterpress wedding invitation suite has a romantic, modern aesthetic that makes my invitation-loving heart go pitter pat. Designed by Becky King (the bride), a Boston-based web designer, this project was a labor of love that allowed her to bring into play her background in traditional print. The result is a wedding invitation suite that features wonderful details like the gorgeous, blind debossed lace-like pattern, which brings together vintage inspiration with clean, moderns style, and a warm and inviting coral + gray color palette.
The sweet photo save the dates feature photography by wedding photographer, Katie Slater, as does their lovely wedding website, designed by Becky and developed by Paul, a software engineer.

Romantic Rustic Wedding Invitations
I am completely crushing on this beautiful letterpress wedding invitation suite from Jupiter and Juno. The undeniably romantic invites feature shimmery metallic blush ink on kraft stock for a look that’s a little bit rustic and so very lovely.
This invitation suite was designed by Jupiter and Juno’s staff designer, Jessi, for a client who was having a wedding with a rustic theme and pink accents. Metallic pink envelopes echo the metallic blush ink on the invitation pieces and create depth, interest, and a subtle yet eye-catching shimmer in the finished suite. The client also provided a beautiful floral pattern that she had selected for invitation liners. Invitations were printed on 270 gsm Stonehenge Kraft paper, and all printing was done in house on Jupiter and Juno’s 1950s Heidelberg Windmill Blackball press. The finished suite was tied with adorable pink and white baker’s twine to complete the look.
The suite has been dubbed ADELE and is now available for purchase in the Jupiter and Juno shop. Lucky brides and grooms who are interested in this suite can find a great discount offer that’s going on right now (for a limited time), too!
