When it comes to wedding stationery, the design is more than just paper and ink—it’s an introduction to your celebration, a preview of your love story. Few designs capture timeless charm and bespoke artistry as beautifully as a blue letterpress invitation paired with watercolor details. Let’s take a closer look at how this stunning combination brings sophistication and personality to your big day.
Letterpress printing is a centuries-old technique that combines texture, depth, and elegance. For this design, we’ve chosen a classic blue ink—think French blue or soft periwinkle—to convey a sense of calm, grace, and tradition. The crisp impression of the letterpress, with its tactile quality, enhances every detail of the typography and design. Whether your aesthetic leans modern, classic, or somewhere in between, the blue letterpress provides a versatile foundation for your invitations.
To add a personal and artistic element, a custom watercolor map is included as part of the invitation suite. This map isn’t just functional—it’s a piece of art. It highlights key locations for your celebration, such as your ceremony venue, reception site, and perhaps a favorite local spot or two. The soft washes of color complement the letterpress design, creating a cohesive yet dynamic look. Watercolor maps are especially popular because they add a whimsical, bespoke touch that your guests will treasure.
Every invitation deserves a grand entrance, and that’s where the envelope liner comes in. This suite features a watercolor venue illustration printed on the liner, echoing the style of the map. Imagine a hand-painted rendering of your ceremony location, a romantic chapel, or a scenic vineyard—it’s the perfect way to set the tone for your celebration as guests open their invitations.
The liner creates an unexpected moment of delight and further reinforces the artistic feel of the suite. It’s a subtle but impactful way to add a personal touch to your wedding stationery.
